Your official Saturday night, blast the Offense thread
- Thread starter skip dog
- Start date
I have no clue what Croom was thinking there. His best shot at the win was to punt, and use his timeouts to get the ball back with about 2 minutes to go and 20-30 yards to go for a game winning FG. Instead, he thinks it'd be a good idea to go for it on 4th and 15. Two weeks ago he decides that he should punt on 4th and about 8 with only 2 minutes to go, down 8. That makes no sense.
Freakin have a hot call for just that situation, immediatly line up on the ball, snap on QB pressure & get the first down, but no, we have to call a timout to hand off the ball up the middle. We freikin have a film history on us calling timeouts on 4th & 1 to run up the middle.
Stubborn asses
the offense didn't lose this game, coaches play calling lost this one
& if I was a defensive player, I would raise ape **** hell

Why did you have to post something I agree w/. That was w/out a doubt the most stupid, stupid, stupid call ever.
punter is laying them inside the five
AU has almost as many 3 & outs as us
D is stopping them
& Croom turns the short field over
I thought he believed in playing field posistion
dumbass coaches

Yea, that's what struck me though. He had a more makeable 4th down against La. Tech in a similar situation, against a worse defense, but down 8 points with less time on the clock, but he chose to punt.
Then tonight, with a longer 4th, against a better defense, down only 1 point, with more time on the clock, you go for it?
I really don't have a problem with whichever strategy you choose, but the inconsistency there is striking.
That 4th down call made less sense than Orgeron's 4th down call in the Egg Bowl last year.
At that point in the game, I was thinking that your best chance to score and win was either to play field position, or give your defense a chance to put points on the board, or give them a chance to put your offense in field goal range, yet he goes for it. I'd have even understood it a little bit if it was 4th and 5 or less, but 4th and 15 when your offense has sucked all game and your defense, especially in the 4th, wasn't giving up ****? Makes no sense.
