Random hypothetical: If Prescott...

[BigMotherTucker]

Had been our QB for our game at Auburn 2011, would he have scored instead of getting planted at the goal line?

Or lsu 2009

If we came up with something besides QB Power dive. I dread 3rd and short because I know what's coming, and what the result will be.

 

[HD6]

Maybe, maybe not. Certainly not going to question the toughness or running style of Chris Relf. He's bigger than Prescott.

 

[WeHollaAtYa]

We win LSU game and one will never know about Auburn...

 

[hatfieldms]

This

The guy just made a hell of a play

 

[BigMotherTucker]

I didn't mean the question as a slight towards Chris... I watched the Georgia game the other night on the SECN and noticed that Relf just didn't fall forward after a hit. He kinda fell sideways. It just got me thinking how Prescott would have taken the hit delivered by the Auburn corner.

ETA: I liked the offense we ran w/ Relf... I think we should try a variation of it w/ Prescott.

 

[patdog]

Exactly. My guess is he would have broken a rib just like Relf was rumored to have done on that play.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm still

pissed we didn't just give it to Boobie 4x. Granted, the play wasn't executed correctly by Lee, but still.

 

[thatsbaseball]

We win both games without waiting til the final play and not because of Dak`s athletic abilities but because of his leadership. He`s not as powerful as Relf and not as good a passer as Russell but he`s a great on-the-field leader. He would have gotten it done.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Well it didn't help that

we threw 20 INTs that LSU game.

 

[Dawgzilla]

All I know for sure is that if we had 4th and 2 at the 4, then Dak would score against UMiss.

I think the real question should be "if dak relieves russell at halftime, like he should have, of egg bowl 2012 do we win that game? And wjat affect does it have on their recruiting class in feb? Aaaaaaand why doesnt dak start last yr when hes clearly the better qb? I think we beat osu and auburn if that happened.

I think we see alot of I formation this year with Shump at FB. Saw it in the last 3 games last year and punched it in all 3 times...

 

[dawgoneyall]

That was one if not only he did not have any forward progress after the hit.

I would to this day let him run the same thing again. Although, I don't think Reif was ever the same after the hit.

Same can be said for the Gator Bowl against NW.

 

[BKCBully]

17-17 at halftime

Hard to pull your RS JR QB who's put up good numbers all year for a true freshman.

 

[thatsbaseball]

But but that would mean you`re questioning Dan. Sure you want to do that ?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

The problem with the game here in 2011 was we ran that play on third down and then the clock ran out. We should have gone with some sort of rollout run/pass option where Chris could have thrown it away if nothing was there and we would still have had time to get stopped by a 165lb cornerback on 4th down. You have to play for two shots there. You just have to. It's one of Dan's five dumbest playcalls since he's been here.

 

[dawgstudent]

Sell. Relf got stuffed one time in his career. Unfortunately, it was that play.

 

[BruceBruce]

Exactly, it should've at the very least been a run to the right not left. Relf should've had a pass option. That one still stings.

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

This is the answer to the Auburn question. I think that pissed me off more than the loss did.

 

[NCDawg.sixpack]

IMO, it should have been a moot discussion anyway, because I think Ballard scored before that play when he dived into the corner of the end zone. In any event, he was closer than where they spotted the ball. We could have probably scored on a QB sneak if they had spotted the ball accurately (since they didn't give him the TD).
