tigerman1186 537 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Why didn't we have the play review…it looked like there could have been a case to overturn the decision…hated that Roc was sent to the bench the rest of the night…was glad to see Cory Grant score a TD….

NoALtiger 3,852 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 First play should have never gone to the true freshman. Asking for trouble and that's what we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It was pretty obvious it was a backwards pass based on the tv replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The biggest surprise to me was that Gus opened the game with a play to Roc. Makes me wonder if the error blew up part of his offensive strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRocket 410 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Funny comment from my wife when this play occurred: Wife: "What happened on that play? Why didn't he get the ball?" My response: "He's just a freshman dear". Wife: "Well it is not his first rodeo, I mean he played football in high school. On a play like that you throw your butt on the ball, and find out later if you had to." She doesn't know much about football, but it is hard to argue with her logic.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I wonder ...... 1. Why in this big game with players pumped up with emotion did we take the ball first? 2. Why start a freshman RB with little big game experiece and throw to him on the first play. Go with regular guys until things settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 i was wondering if CAP was out injured. first play Roc, next play Grant is in. why not have the sec rush leader in till the 3rd play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Jtiger22 0 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I see freshman playing all over the sec. No execute. In my opinion the fact we did not have a solid backup to go to like cap as last year hurt us. Heck. Bama brings in 27 on last drive and seals deal. Roc basically lost a red shirt this year and barber might as well been redshirted also. Lack of significant pt for backup rbs was inexcusable if you ask me.

boisnumber1 2,818 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I didnt see the big deal with it going to Roc in the first place, but Im not surprised people are complaining about it. It was a simple play, a simple pass. Roc being a freshman should have absolutely nothing to do with whether it was executed or not. He simply missed it and didnt get on it. People complain all season that Roc doesnt get it enough, then when he gets a chance at a crucial moment, the other side complains. I guess Gus was stupid for expecting a freshman to be able to execute a simple swing pass. He was giving a player a chance to make a play and it/he failed. I dont see any reason to complain about it. It happened. How many times this year did SENIORS screw up as bad or worse when the error wasnt forced. Dismukes snap? Marshall/CAP fumble at the goal line? Bray's fumbling? Coates dropping passes? Idiotic late hits by veterans? Give me a break with the freshman crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple assumptions I have are that Gus was looking to catch bama off guard or CAP had a mild punishment(maybe something school related or an attitude adjustment).

I had a problem with the lack of effort to cover it. i suppose that is why he didnt play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBAU83 212 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I wonder ...... 1. Why in this big game with players pumped up with emotion did we take the ball first? Duh, with our defense, Gus wanted the ball first to score first and make bama play catch-up. Right call, if we scored and kept them out and we go up two scores, whole different ballgame.

AURocketman 73 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I thought the play call was good but poorly executed. Thought everybody wanted more Roc. Idea was stretch edge with speed and extra step if pass. When Roc made very little effort to recover he should ride the pine and think about winning a future opportunity to play in a game at practice. Cap hit holes well. Ran to daylight. Best I've seen. Don't recall any stops from running into blockers. It may have been a message. If so Cap responded. Bama started selling out on his runs. Not sure why Nick did not read and keep more later in game. Figure they were all predetermined after Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Correct me if I am wrong, but go back to the uga game and look. We came out with the same play to Roc on first play. Then we followed on the next two first down plays with the same play. Two went to the left and one went to the right. Each one netted like 6 yards and we got a first the following plays. Then we never saw Roc again for the rest of the night. Not upset with the play, but I am upset with Roc not hustling on the ball. That's not a freshman thing, that was just poor hustle. I hope Gus got the point across to him. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never got in a position to play JJ unless we had the game well in hand. What do you propose that we did? Run a dual QB system? There hasn't been any reason to bench NM other than his green thumb...which we did and JJ got to play. The amount of people that are still whining about NM, who played with a huge heart and guts on a weekly basis, is baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
