I’m not going to claim to know if the read should have been made presnap or not. 99% of the Posters here don’t know that either

If nothing else on this play you are watching that one safety that comes down into underneath coverage. The moment that happens you snap back to the other side of the field, or throw it over everyone's head. He had time to do either, as evidence by how he continued to stare down the WR and throw the ball anyways. Just absolutely awful.

A few days later, I look at the Georgia St. game as...

1. The embarrassment that becomes the turning point for our program. The culture changes. We toughen up. We develop some fight. The talent starts trickling in. We look back and say that game, as brutal as it was, stands as the turning point.

2. The day the Jeremy Pruitt era unofficially ended, and the further delay (3-5 years) of our historic program turning the corner back to respectability.

Man I sure hope it’s #1.
Thing is, we will probably know the answer by the end of the BYU game.

Who was the first read?

I haven't embedded a Youtube video before. Here is the link of the highlights. Go to the 11:45 mark of the play. JG looks right the entire play with two defenders. You can see it presnap that a second man is covering that side.

JJ has to be a primary read because DWA and Callaway are on the line in front of JJ and clear out space for JJ. The play on that side has to be designed for JJ.

Hell I don’t know. This thread is making me crazy today. I need to get off here for a bit. Apologies.

Lol; all I meant was I'd rather face a BYU team in letdown mode than a BYU team in "need to prove something" mode. I didn't mean that meant they automatically win or we didn't have anything to prove, just I think that would work to our advantage more. And right now we need every advantage.

Well it better be #1 because I won't be around for the next dollar tree coach.

But they are good for reading all the replies from people that apparently only got on the world wide web just yesterday. It's astonishing what people will believe without a second thought.

You wanted him to risk a scramble that ran out the clock?

Good grief you are just digging yourself more of a hole.

But a throw in double coverage isn’t a even bigger whole? given the odds of a higher possibility of the football being intercepted 👀🤯 you’re just being irrational now.😂😂 so we will just agree to disagree.🤘🏽🍊 go vols.

Upon further review, disregard my previous comment about spacing. That should have been a TD to JJ.

Yeah, JG is a good dude, but both of the interceptions against GS were rough. If I recall correctly, his other was thrown into triple coverage.

If the first read was to the right Its obvious there wasn’t time to take the chance of snapping the head around with the time on the clock and inside rush. He should have thrown it away. That’s obvious

Dabo was the one in a million, definitely not the usual path to elite HC.

Kirby took over a 10 win program and was a coordinator for a long, long time under the greatest HC of all time. That's a pretty good recipe for success without HC experience, and I'd feel better about Pruitt if he'd tutored under Saban that long.

Riley took over a ten+ win program he was already in and hasn't taken OU beyond where it was when he got there.

Day took over a 10 win program he was already in and may not turn out at all.

Has a first time HC ever turned a bad program around? In the SEC? Maybe, but I'm guessing statistics say we shouldn't have high hopes Pruitt will be able to.

Sure, they became head coaches under different circumstances, but Day was an OC for only about 3 years, and 2 of those were at Temple and BC. Riley was an OC at East Carolina and then a year or two at OU. They didn't have much experience even calling plays.

We just aren't going to hire head coaches with alot of high level head coaching experience these days.

Yep, read it backwards. My bad.

They aren’t traveling that far. Lot of Mormans around. A few years back they played at MTSU and a friend told me they had 7-10k there

Exactly how many mormons are around? Just because they're Mormon does not mean that they are going to come and watch a football game. Come on, man, quit acting like you know something about things you have no clue about.

That is very true. That tweet will be on about 800 FB group posts before the day is over.

Yep. There was no chance for a second read. This has been a good lesson for posters. We don’t always see what we think we do and we darn sure don’t know how the reads are supposed to progress.

I saw it clearly. Pre-snap he should have seen it too. You don't have to wait to snap it to see what's going to happen.
