One failed play on the goal line. Winning teams execute winning plays when the opportunity presents itself. After all these years, Richt should have had a high probability play ready to go in that situation.
Are you referring to the last play in the SECCG? The fricking ball got tipped. How can you say it was a bad play? It was an unfortunate ending, but if that ball doesn't get tipped, who knows. Maybe we score the TD, win the NC and now all of y'all wouldn't be complaining...ah hell, most of y'all would still be bitching about something.

I would argue the exAct opposite. The naked boot could have worked better if it came after goal line stops of gurley.
With that said, Sc Didn't stop us from scoring on the goal line earlier, so we had foresight there. Doesn't take hindsight to know how risky a naked bootleg is on first down taking the previous sentence into account. Then consider who your qb and Rb are, and it gets even dumber.
Eh... Everyone says they know the obvious play call... What would we assume SC was thinking?

Sc was thinking a handoff every time we had the ball inside the ten.

Ya, that's why a Pa boot is not a terrible call. Didn't work..

It's called outsmarting yourself, which is often considered a terrible call.
1. Despite knowing we would run it, Sc had not proven they could stop us from running into the end zone.
Logic: Do what works until it doesn't work.
2. It wasn't just a pa that wasn't set up properly, but the riskiest kind: naked aka no blocker aka potential disaster.
Logic: use a blocker to reduce risk as we did on a previous td pass.

Dunno... My bet is the tackle was supposed to block him, but he didn't crash so they had the right D called. The DE played contain the whole way.

You have yet to acknowledge the first point, and an unblocked de is Exactly what happens on a naked boot. Our OT blocked down as he was instructed to do.

Yeah... They're also not a great team though, and I have no idea what that had to do with a coaching blunder.

Michigan had Michigan state beaten... All he had to do was tell the punter to fall on the ball if he didn't handle the snap. If they won that game, they would be top 8 right now.

I didn't. But it wasn't a winning play or a play with a high chance of success. It looked like Murray was trying to throw fade to the right corner. With the ball inside the 5 yard line there simply wasn't enough space for the play to work; there were defenders all over the receiver on that side. IMHO, Murray should have been rolling out to the right side with lead blocking and multiple options to run himself, pitch out to Gurley, throw to Gurley or throw to one of the receivers after they came up to defend the outside run. A lot of teams are using a similar play successfully.

I don't think you can be certain that the RT didn't miss his assignment. It was naked because no one blocked the DE and the DE didn't even think about the fake. Since the guy he was going to throw to was coming underneath, I can't imagine running that "naked ". In any case, it's football.

This is the only login I have had for this site. I think my husband has had a login for several years. He introduced me to TigerDroppings. He's too busy with work to post these days. He's a UGA alumnus; I am not but we are both avid dawg fans.

There is no hesitation. The ol blocks as instructed. Nothing about that play is anything other than a poorly setup naked boot.

That is pure speculation

A few quick thoughts from the game by Peter Buck

It's clearly a naked boot when watching and understanding how such a play either works or gets blown up. We see that type of play in fb often and it works when properly set up, which is after a d has proven it can stop a goal line rush or 2. Makes sense, right? You still haven't acknowledged previous goal line stands in the game. What's up with that?
