re: Dumbest play your team has ever run

what in the hell was supposed to happen here?

2. The pass play Nuss called vs Texas A&M near the goal that got picked off to end the game.

Still mad about that. Eddie Lacy and the best OL we've ever had, yet Nuss gets pass happy. That whole game was an abortion of playcalling.

Pretty much every play in last year's loss to Clemson. Whirley-bird and playing JJ although we named Sean White the starter. By some miracle we drove the ball inside Clemson's 15 on six drives. Direct snap to Jeremy Johnson on 4th and inches with our 250 lb Maneater of a RB standing on the sidelines was a tough pill to swallow when JJ lost 3 yards.

2010 vs Colorado

Our worst season under Richt (finished 6-7), playing an early season road game against an awful CU team.

Give up a double digit lead in the second half, but freshman Aaron Murray puts together what looks like the game winning drive.

With seconds left, and Georgia well in field goal range, it looks like the team tries to run a motherfricking FLEA FLICKER. Caleb King turns around and lobs the ball as he's hit.

Colorado recovers and wins.

LSU @ Ole Miss (2000)

Tigers score with just over 4 minutes to go in the game, take an 11 point lead. Instead of kicking the extra point to go up 12, Saban goes for 2 and Booty is tackled before crossing the goal line. Luckily we were playing Ole Miss

Come on...you can think of 100 dumber calls than that i your sleep

For LSU I think it was probably in 1987 against Ohio State.

In the final minute, tied 13-13, we had 1st and goal inside the OSU 10 yard line. All we had to do was run some clock with a couple of running plays and then kick the winning FG. Instead, we had Hodson throw to the end zone. OSU intercepted and returned it to about midfield. We ended up having to block a long FG attempt on the final play to preserve the tie.

While already pretty stupid just on the face of it, the true depth of the stupidity of this play call wasn't revealed until head coach Mike Archer's explanation in the postgame press conference. Asked why he threw the ball instead of running clock and kicking the FG, he said it was because he would NEVER play for a tie. Yep, dumbass didn't realize the game was already tied and for some reason thought we needed a touchdown to win, and he still hadn't figured it out even by the time of the postgame press conference.

To top it all off, even his righteous proclamation that he would NEVER play for a tie turned out to be bullshite two years later when he called for a tying FG in the final minute vs. Florida. In a moment of pure justice, after we tied the game with the FG, UF drove into range and kicked the winning FG as time expired, aided by a controversial decision by the officials to put one second back on the clock after UF's receiver went out of bounds just in FG range as time appeared to expire.

One of his many other great decisions was to de-emphasize in-state recruiting, announcing to a gathering of Louisiana high school coaches that "we can't win with Louisiana talent".

LSU fans always cite Curley Hallman as an example of the worst coach ever, but even he wasn't as bad as Mike Archer.

In the long history of college football the single most idiotic call was made by a clown coach famous for his stupidity. The year was 2001. The opponent was Auburn. The school was Georgia. The moron was Mark Richt.

Super Moron in action

You could close the thread here. No one will top Mark Richt, the dumbest coach who ever lived.

2012 or 2014 LSU/Bama football game. 4th & 1.5 yards. Les lines up Spencer Ware with split backs to run a QB dive. 100,000 there and millions watching at home knew exactly what was coming against the best DLine in the country. Just kick the damn field goal.

More of a metaphor for this entire game.

You know it had to hurt Freek to make that gif. But it is so funny, he had to do it.
