Why were we throwing the ball?

[Bothrops]

Could there be environmental factors that cause this dumbing down of our coaches?

[chef dixon]

Run. Spike. Kick.

It's elementary shit

The only reason to throw the ball was to try and hit someone near the sideline to stop the clock. If we were going to throw short in the middle of the field, then I agree we should have just run the ball. It would have been safer and would have accomplished about the same thing. Either way we were going to have to rush to the line to clock the ball to stop the clock in time to try the FG.

[Dawgface]

Probably the chemicals put on the field. Good as any explanation.

[Coach34]

Yes- this was the problem more than the QB. Terrible playcall there leading to the pick. RTGDF and we most likely win

[Pinto]

You forgot step one. Why did we call a timeout there?

Make Florida call the timeout.

Run the ball on 2nd down.

Make Florida call another time out.

Kick on 3rd down (in case you fumble the snap)

If Florida doesn?t call a timeout at any point you run the clock down to 3 seconds and kick the field goal.

Not a hard script to follow.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Its a firable offense

[Skydawg1]

Very bad way to lose a game in your SECOND year. Guy is going to be 0-16 in the SEC at the end of they year. This is also not the year to be coach hunting with all the openings. Worst loss ever.

Fla called that one.

Maybe we can dream up a cool way of losing. That would be something revolutionary. Be the best at something.

This is a rhetorical question.

Well, on the bright side, we would have probably missed the FG anyway.***

Quote from Lebby’s postgame press conference when asked about the decision to pass. “I do, I love the call.”

Oh well….

This. I was updating my wife of our situation, 2nd down... on their 29 yd line... less than a minute to go... best kicker we've had since, uh maybe Westerfield... and she's says, "We'll probably miss it" and I said yep. Guess we'll never know thanks to our 5th year senior QB.

[Pinto]

Fla called that one.

Nope. We did. Look at the clip of the interception. Florida still has all 3 time outs.

[Coach34]

ahhhh- the announcer said Fla called the TO. Was going off that.

Also a god awful throw

Wow. Holy shit

[parabrave]

Everyone in the restrauant I was in said WTF is he calling a timeout for and then you can imagine the uproar when the INT happened.

[parabrave]

I mean if your going to throw it put it in the endzone.

It's an absolute brutal loss.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Number One priority in that situation has to be DON'T TURN OVER THE FOOTBALL! We will never know if Lebby called the play or Shapen called an audible, in either case both would have been wrong especially since we are Miss'take. Unbelievable. RTGDFB.

Lebby Loved the Call. From his post game pressor.

Was watching Hadads postgame on YT. When he heard that you could see the disbelief in Hadads face,

[R2Dawg]

Yep coaching 101 especially when you have a good FG kicker like we do.

If I were going to throw it, you throw to corner of endzone but when you have the win you get it.

[archdog]

Seems like the easiest possible of calls.
