I think he did well enough on that last drive. It wasn’t the one after the turnover that I don’t get. That was our chance to effectively end the game and we looked like we played for a FG.I don’t get the knock on CJH being too conservative. But for an offside, we are set for a 37 yard field goal as time expires. Exactly what we want after GA tied it up
if he weren’t so “ conservative” ( as many call it), and we had a TO, I think he’s far more likely to be appropriately second guessed.
You mean like when Heupel went for it on 4th down against UF from like our own 10? We had a chance to win that game last night at the end and then kicker missed. Heupel made a lot of great decisions to get us to that point. He’s not perfect but no coach gets it right all the time. Kirby flat out lost one SEC Championship game with stupid decisions. It happens to all coaches.This 4th down play totally fooled our D and when Kirby had 4th down at midfield he went for it, made it, and they scored a TD. Heuple had the same situation in 2nd half and punted. That's why Kirby is a championship coach. Hope Heuple takes notes.
He will, that's what great coaches do. You could see it on his face last night. This one gutted him and he looked PISSED. He's a competitor and I can promise you it will be a learning experience for him.Yep, I still love The Heup but he got too conservative against a really good team, and it came back to bite him. Hope he learns something from this.
Plus there was a push off that probably would have been called if it was not fourth down and the the quarterback was in the process of being hammered when he threw and it was against all odds that the ball went where it did. Sometimes you just have to shove it aside and move on.Brother, that could’ve been a senior corner back, and it wouldn’t of mattered that ball was placed perfectly over the far side shoulder and out of the reach for anybody to be able to disrupt
Play on words. All we had to do was kick a 43 yard field goal and the game is over. Actually, all we had to do was play either normal offense and defense in the second and third quarters and we win by 1-14 points. We played two very good quarters, first and forth and played below average in the second and the quarter. We will a very good team when our injured players are able to get on the field. They need to return to play or teams like Arkansas, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Alabama will give us all we can handle. I believe are younger players will be -laying better as the season progresses and we still finish 10-2 or no worse than 9-3.This is from ESPN - We were just going to take a shot there, and we needed to score fast," Smart said. "We didn't need to keep milking time. It felt like they were defending the sticks, and we were trying to get a touchdown. Sometimes, you get an advantage when people play the sticks and you're willing to take a shot."
