How about the way LSU handled TAM?
All three were good reminders of why I don't gamble.
Amen. Anyone who gambles on what 18-22 year old kids will do on any given saturday is playing with fire.
The Baylor game really surprised me. I thought it would be very competitive.
The Oklahoma St. manhandling of Baylor, or Arizona's thumping of Oregon?
that didn't surprise me; we're terribly overrated/over ranked.
And holy shit...Nick Saban just graduated from the Gary Kubiak School of Monumental Dick Stepping.
I imagine that he's regretting lobbying for that extra second.
I imagine he's regretting not kicking a 30 yard field goal to go up by two scores with 5 minutes left.
A 30-yard field goal doesn't appear to be a sure thing with that team.
It's easy to second guess Saban, but I would have kicked the field goal on the 13 and run out the clock at the end of the game and played for overtime.
If you kick the field goal on the 13, there is no overtime. You win the game. No matter how you slice it, Saban stepped on his dick.
I think that the decision to not run out the clock and play for overtime was bad too.
Well I think that was the intention by running the ball with 9 seconds left. But he suddenly found himself at the 40 yard line with one play left, and I guess the temtation was too great. But I agree, the long field goal was not smart.
Saw on Twitter this morning that there have been something like 3/4 field goals returned for TD's in the history of D1 football.
Well hell, if it's on Twitter, you can take it to the bank. All coaches should check it before making major game decisions.
He must have known that there was a strong likelihood of a return from that distance. Most of the Alabama players on the field were spectators during that play though.
something like 9 of 11 were behemoth OL. spectators or not, they had no chance covering a kick.
Exactly. I don't get it. You have the best team in the country. Take your chances in OT.
