So did Mullen ever explain why on Fourth and 4..

[Todd4State]

Jesus. Another dental school departure or something? Why in the hell can't we retain kickers throughout their eligibility? I mean Graves wasn't an All SEC kicker or anything, but he was the best we had and was pretty dependable before the back injury (USA nonwithstanding).

It probably doesn't help when we have "fans" on twitter threatening to punch him in the face.

True, but catching hell on social media just comes with the territory these days for all athletes and you do have to have thick skin because there are some real d-bags out there. I hope he has a lot better reason than that for hanging up the cleats.

I'm pretty sure he is finishing his Engineering degree. I want to say EE but someone correct me if I'm wrong on which discipline

The media rarely asks good questions.

Mullen out-leveled everyone. He knew if we made the FG that Miami would go for the TD. We couldn't keep them out of the endzone but we could block the FG. Mullen is a genius.

Honestly though, Mullen shit the bed. It was a mind-boggling poor decision. I guess he wanted to be sure Graves ended his career on a make. I've said it a million times going for it there and not going for it on 4th and 1 at mid-field are the kind of decisions that make me pull my hair out and question Mullen's game management.

Nelson Adams said as much. They noticed on film the guy kicks were low and all they had to do is get their hands up.

[Jack Lambert]

That was two different plays. The targeting call was earlier in the game.

If you rewatch the game the second time the helmet didn't fall off either. The defensive guy knocked it off with his arm.

The kid has chronic back problems.

[Gutter Cobreh]

Yes he could; From what I heard the ESPN radio guy say, because of the Targeting call Fitz was not required to sit out the play. I want to say I heard the ref say it as well.

If this was explained differently on TV, I don't know because I was driving and listening on XM. The ESPN radio announcers sucked ass, by the way. I bet they were from Nashville*

I was listening on XM as well and I 100% agree with you; those announcers were the absolute worst! Between them yelling on every play or referencing the game as David vs. Goliath, it almost made me want to contact ESPN to share my opinion.

The best call of the game was Holloway returned a kick to the 15 yd. line, the play by play says he got stuffed but "stretched" the ball to the 18 yard line....who knew Holloway could stretch the ball 9 additional feet????

He has long flexible arms for his size***

Mullen doesn't call TO.

With all the TO we have saved in games, we have probably accumulated close to 100. Someone should ask him if we can trade some in for points against Bama.
