Oh so now you guys are claiming James has been calling plays? And all this time I thought it was Ricky Rahne.

Last I checked the offensive coordinator doesn't call a fake punt

Well, that takes the pressure off of Ricky's call vs Ohio State on 4th down!

 

Dumb! Just down right down! Trick plays are for jr league teams when they have NO other way of winning! Good teams grind it out!!!

Smart knew at that’s point it was unlikely the Georgia defense was going to stop the Crimson Tide. The call was high risk but it could have been decisive in helping his team win. Obviously it didn’t work but it was a good decision.

What are you talking about? He could have pinned Alabama back inside the 20 with their backup at the helm. I mean, to say you have zero confidence in your defense when the backup is in is stupid. What, Georgia's defense was done because Hurts had one good drive at that point? WTF?

It was not a good call... by any measure. First Alabama had their standard defense in, not their punt team. Why run a punt fake against a team looking for it with their base defense? Second, it was 4 & 11. If you really have no confidence in your defense, then go for it with your offense in there. Not a punt fake.

I don’t know what sky was watching lol. 4th and 11 with 3 minutes left at the 50 and you fake a punt lol. No wonder Saban’s assistants can’t beat him lol of course Saban wouldn’t never do something stupid like that and I’ve got proof...he has 6 NC’s lol

You guys are too silly. Smart is one of the top 3 coaches in college football. He was on the sideline. He could smell the game. He saw the sweat dripping from the players. He heard the guys breathing. He felt the pulse. He knew the fake punt was the call to make. You fellows are blinded by the cloud of fandom. Now let’s have a real discussion. Who: Ohio State, Oklahoma, or Georgia?  I say tOSU. Unfortunately the committee will pick Oklahoma. Georgia while deserving, had their shot against Alabama and lost.  UCF will again get screwed.

Kirby new Bama would probably score and took the risk. Get first down and probably win. Punt and Bama controls clock, scores and game over. Get stopped on fake punt, Bama scores but time left on clock for last chance to tie or win.

It was 4Th and 11, you punt and let the defense do it’s job. I guess I’m a 100% Joe Paternobot lol. I’m just not much on trick plays because Paterno hardly ever run ‘em I guess. Just a stupid call.
