Drinkwitz did it against Florida. With that Shenker play in the back pocket, that would have ended the game then and there. If it failed? So what? It wouldnt affect our bowl bid (such as it is). For a chance to derail Bama's playoff shot? More than worth it. Best coached game all year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it that much more painful for me. That performance was like a 100 year flood. Won't see it again for a long time. Hats off to Mason and the kids on D. They were let down. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know situational football and we lost the game on 3rd and 2 by thoughtlessly giving a dive to Tank with a 1 legged QB in the backfield, not even presenting the illusion of a passing threat. You must not know situational football. Because #4 wasn’t getting a first down on the run outside. He has to stay in bounds. You got to have them use the timeout.

This was by far the best game we have played all year . Can’t believe what you folks are saying. There was some good passing playcalls that Finley just couldn’t hit before he got hurt, but this is a pretty meh Bama defense. I’d say we played at least 3 teams that were more of a challenge on that end (maybe not more pure talent), although we had Nix back then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUght2win 6,837 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 For all the moral victory crowd. 4 weeks ago we were 6-2, red hot, and controlling our own destiny on the way to Atlanta. If I had told you then how we blew this game to Alabama tonight, would you have been so giddy to just be competitive? Alabama is not that good. We have better talent than 6-6 shows. I'm happy we were competitive. I'm not happy we gave the game away on coaching decisions. Those things scare me because they aren't likely to change with talent level. You don't throw with TJ first play after rolling his ankle (pick). You don't stick with him after his second pass was also intercepted (roughing the passer was negated). AND YOU DON'T CALL THAT DIVE ON 3RD AND 2. I am still in shock this happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAYLORKEETON 792 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Mason lost this..again. Went prevent on that last drive when he hasn’t the ENTIRE game.

But regardless we are 2 yards from winning on the next down. TWO. Why run a dive that had absolutely 0 chance? Watch the replay and tell me that isn't where we lost the game.

The win percentage chance after we stoned their RB on 4th and 1 was nearly 100. 4th and 1 at USC is unacceptable 4th and goal at the 2 at PSU is unacceptable 40 unanswered points against MSU at home is unacceptable Blowing a historic iron bowl with the ball inside of 2 minutes on their 40 in unacceptable. I’m not into moral victories but if there’s such thing as a good loss, this one is a textbook case. I challenge you to support your statement with some relevant facts, and be sure to explain to everyone how our backups that are playing for our injured starters are more skilled and experienced than the guys that they are replacing.

But regardless the clock was stopped. IF WE GET TWO YARDS WE WIN THE GAME. CALL A TIMEOUT AND DIAL UP YOUR BEST TWO POINT PLAY TO CONVERT. CALL THE SHENKER THROWBACK. Instead? We immediately run a dive into a goalline defense with no lead blocker. Loss of 3. ^^This^^ I will never understand WHY, when your team has all the momentum, has been playing lights out and you have the chance to put the game away, WHY, WHY, WHY don't you line up, best on best, and be determined to whip the man in front of you and cram the ball right down their throat? Making a first down on that 3rd and 2 wins the game. Plain and simple. That was the game right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished it had been another but they were loaded for the run and I’m not sure any play would have worked. Hell. Nothing was working all night. The game was going to be won by the defense, if he stays in bounds it would have given Auburn the best opportunity to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, please post less often. Fact: TJ Finley had an ankle injury so serious it was actually legitimately hard from him to break the huddle. Fact: His first two passes after said injury were picked. And a third was nearly picked. His plant foot being so badly damaged made it nearly impossible for him to throw. Fact: We have a highly touted freshman QB from Texas that is an excellent runner. Letting him run a basic read would have at least given us a chance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japantiger 4,051 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 We didn't run Finley when he was healthy....so many opportunities. Just made it easy on Bama defense. Can't believe the best Bobo could put on the field was a one legged qb. Our offense cost that game. Defense played well enough to win. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
