Do you honestly think that Pittman had no input on how the play calling was going to go on the final possession?
I never said that
But calling a draw on 3rd and 12 is not some crazy call that never happens

I thought Pittman summed up the why's pretty well.
Going in 3rd down putting it in the air was a decision made based on the situation.
3rd and 12 you now have a decision do you think in 1 play you can get 12 yards. And if you don't are you ok with giving the other team more options and play calls with a timeout to drive the field?
Pittman relied on the defense and clock to win the game vs putting it all down on one 12 yard play.

Agree with this.
If anything is true he's shown he's able to do that and isn't ridiculously stubborn like other coordinators.
Super interested to see how things look against OM>

What??? An incomplete pass only saves one timeout. We don’t automatically lose on an incompletion. It’s low risk vs high reward.

I agree and I think most on here do as well. But it was a minor mistake in a game we still should’ve won. Now if we get into a similar situation and playing not to lose bites us in the arse again I’ll be more upset but this is Pitts first time as the head man so some game management issues may come up

And Auburn wouldn't have needed to spike the ball if they had one. So if they still have the timeout the blown call doesn't happen. So really that was the right choice to make since normally officials don't go full retard and it should have won us the game.

also just wanted to add - Briles has actually used our weapons to their strengths
Warren's lack of use given his speed pissed me off the last two years, and him stepping up feels like a justification of that anger.

I assume Warren is if not the fastest player on the team. I remember he had a kickoff return for a TD against Auburn in 2017. Bert didn't know what to do with him and Chad was clueless.
But if he keeps playing like he is now then he has a good chance of being drafted.

Yes their last timeout. So now they drive the field and call a timeout March the field goal team out and kick for the win no confusion.

Well here I disagree it's high risk high reward. Anytime you out the ball in the air there is additional risk to running the ball. It also means we punt from where we were not where we got the ball to on the draw so field position is worse for us assuming we don't turn the ball over. Of course the penalty mess doesn't help here right but still from a risk perspective throwing on 3rd down was riskier than what we did

They should have an option for Hornsby to pass or run on a roll out inside the 10 yd line. Hornsby was, if not the fastest QB last season in Texas High School Football, damned close to the fastest. All they have to do is put one shallow receiver dragging right at the goal line and one WR at the back of the end zone doing the same thing and the play would literally be unstoppable. But they must give Hornsby the option to pass on that play to keep the defense honest.

That’s what they tried to do if anyone was watching they tried to have the right end run a corner route to the back of the end zone but he was covered and Hornsby couldn’t outrun the linebacker to the edge if he would’ve been able to turn the corner it would’ve been 6

The final series in the game was also very poorly called and executed.
I was channeling my inner Bobby Petrino, just waiting for that dagger slant, or play action to a tight end on first or second down there.
We need the running game to come around to the point that we can run the ball for first downs when needed, and we need the tight ends more involved in the offense.

That's what I saw a s well he looked for the pass and then got beat by the linebacker is what it seemed to me. He definitely didn't tuck and go straight for the run the last time

Yep Auburn’s defense is usually gonna be pretty good as long as Steele is there. Those guys were well coached

Bump. Love watching fakes, reverses, and pre snap motion on every play.. Really working out for us.
Posted on 11/7/20 at 8:10 pm to Mason Dixon Swine
Yeah I love watching our players fumble and our QB refuse to throw to wide open receivers because he can't focus on more than one thing at a time once he starts scrambling.
Definitely Briles' fault

Maybe he should adjust his playcalling to have less intricate flashy BS

Fantastic drive to start the 3rd.

What happens when you run the ball off gaurd/tackle and throw direct routes with your QB.
The same shite that has been working all night besides the wasteful gimmick bullshite.
We should be winning if it weren’t for the 10-15 completely wasted plays that looks like 10 year old me got ahold of the controller
