It wasn't a management error. It was a judgement call at the end of the game. Richt was trying to catch Bama on their heels. Didn't work. You people act like Richt didn't know what was going on. I don't know what other issure you are talking about.

Many UGA fans were pissed at Richt. I was not one of them.

It was a strategy call. Bama's defense had just been driven back 65 yards in under a minute. Spiking the ball allows bama to regroup. If Richt and Murray knew what play they wanted then there is no need for a spike. Keep the pressure on Bama.

UGA lost in the final seconds because Mosely was able to make a play and get a hand on the ball. Not because UGAs offense was confused and in disarray. Like someone already mentioned, Murray knew he was going to the end zone. If it fell incomplete, there would have been time for another play or two regardless.

Georgia's wasn't that big of a mistake, if at all. I can see the rationale for pressing the issue with the play you want to run without allowing Alabama to talk it over on defense

Wrong: It was a huge mistake. You are down to two plays, clock it, make sure you have the right personnel in the game. Bama knew they were not going to run the ball on the first play, their personnel would not have changed that much. OMG if Les had pulled a boner like Georgia did.

It also allows Georgia to regroup. They were rushing to get the play called.

then it was a stupid judgement call. at that point you don't worry about catching the defense on their heels (if thats what he was even doing)...you worry about giving your offense the best chance to score.

I did question why Richt called that first time out however.


This exactly. I remember saying that could come back to bite them by seemingly wasting that timeout as opposed to having all 3 for the end game scenario

nope. not necessarily. he let way too much time expire before the snap. and he only had one shot with time dwindling. you clock it there and get your shite together. you then have two or 3 plays to go to the EZ. idiotic move by richt.

I spike it and get 3 shots at the end zone. Give me three tries over one or two. Of course, this assumes Murray wouldn't have been sacked.

I think trying to sneak a td throw before clocking it was ok. They were trying to catch BAMA sleeping. It is one of those things in sports, if he throws the td, Murray And richt are geniuses. The tip was unfortunate and good football fortune for the tide.

Reporters and the fans are going after Richt. Why do you people think only Les Miles gets critisized? Do you live in a bubble?

or a tipped ball, interception, penalty, injury, etc. etc. Really the main problem with execution was the amount of time to get the play called. If you're not going to clock it, get up there and run a play immediately while the defense is still trying to figure out what you're going to do.

On here? Most, probably. Many LSU "fans" were calling for Les's head last season, after we won the SEC Championship.

I see both sides of this.

Actually, the UGA player falling down after catching the ball is what did them in. His defender fell down and then he fell down. Otherwise, he could have just run out of bounds and they would have had another play. He caught it with 7 seconds left. I don't know exactly what caused him to fall other than probably just the excitement of not expecting it and coming down awkwardly when catching it.

The bottom line is that if Georgia's D had not been as soft as cotton against the Bama running game, they would be going to the BCS National Championship. That was completely shocking considering how many NFL-bound studs are supposedly on that D. Richt said to Wolfson the reason they lost was because that they just ran out of time there at the end. No - the real reason they lost is because their D folded up by 11 in the Georgia Dome for a chance to play for the NC. That's the bigger reason.

depends on which nega-tard you believe, half said Alleva forced Miles to keep Crowton, the other half blamed Miles for keeping him

Irrelevant, our offense would never score 28 points.

shows the benefit LSU has had over the past few years being able to rotate the d-line all night.
