That one was on richt. Idiotic use of time at the end. Had time outs left, one handoff to gurley at the end and it's over.
Our defense was gassed. Georgia Could have had at least 2 more plays from inside the 10. I was at that game, lucky win for us.
Richt fricked up a certain nattie

I was working at Disney during that game. Was keeping tabs on it as best I could. Then my phone died with about 4 minutes left in the game. Didn't find out who won until 3 hours later when I got back to my base and my coordinator had put up a big sign for me and another cast member for us to see

Georgia was out of time outs. After Bama went up and UGA went 3 and out on their next drive, Bama also went 3 and out with UGA burning the rest of their time outs to stop the clock.

The play was there. Murray was going to try a back shoulder throw into the end zone that was either going to be caught by the receiver or was going to fall harmlessly incomplete. C.J. Mosley just made an incredible play by tipping the ball. The WR for Georgia instinctively caught it because that's his job as a receiver.
It's easy to second guess Richt's decision, but he felt that it was easier to attack our defense right then rather than give it a few seconds rest by clocking the ball.

Agreed.
Richt's decision was to run a play or spike the football. The team practices this situation all of the time. An unprepared team spikes the football.
Gurley's job was to get the backer's hands down and he failed. He was a freshmen doing his best. The defender made a better play.
Whether the ball was spiked or not, a tipped pass caught in bounds would have ended the game.
There was no clock management error. Just a great play followed by a fluke play.

Is he supposed to attack the rusher yards away or simply provide space for the qb to stand and deliver a pass?

Seems like i remember he let the clock run way down before that last play. Thought he had a time out left but maybe if i'm remembering wrong, he could have spiked it 10 seconds earlier?

Not really. Immediately after the completion to Lynch, Murray looked to the sideline and asked for a spike. The next frame you see is the offense lining up for a play.
They MAY have been able to snap it 2 seconds of game clock earlier at the most, but that wouldn't have saved them either.

Pretty sure if he had timeouts left, he would have called one after his RB caught the pass. Time didn't expire as the play was being run.

It is a results business. How he gets his hands down doesn't matter.
Usually, you cut low and the defender goes down . Gurley tried this, but the defender was jumping over the cut and timed his block perfectly.
The other way is to lock up the defenders arms. A lot tougher to accomplish. Particularly with as hard as he was coming in.
If Gurley got out there quicker, the cut block may have worked. It really was a great play.

Didn't the Gamecocks mudstomp UGA that year? I mean like 35-zip or something?

I think Gurley did as every rb is taught to do and the lb just made an instinctive and unconventional move that won the game for them. Iow, No matter what or where, if Gurley was in his way, the lb was gonna jump up and throw and his hands up. There was no reasonable offense to stop that defense.
Posted on 2/13/17 at 12:27 pm to scrooster
Yeah 35-7. Then we lost 2 straight including one to that loser Will Muschamp.
Posted on 2/13/17 at 12:30 pm to djsdawg
Yeah. It was a great play. The common approach is to go low, and the only way to change that result low would have been to strike quicker.
The less likely path would be to "catch" the defender and ride him wide (allowing the opportunity to occupy his hands). But when you watch replays where running backs do this, they are usually getting run over or not able to engage the block long enough prior to a sack.
Gurley did his best as a freshman.

That was to this day the most impressive South Carolina has ever looked, and I don't mean that as a backhanded compliment. No team in the country was beating yall that night.
Fortunately, I think that stomping woke us up because we had not been playing to our capabilities that season before that. That really started the soul-searching that led to the run we went on down the stretch.

The SEC East was pretty freaking good that year. You had 3 legitimate top 10 teams and a "good" Vanderbilt team.

The only way to have potentially stopped that play would have been to apply run blocking tactics in a pass blocking situation.

murray should of just thrown the ball away. Was one heck of a game. one of the best seccgs in my lifetime.
