I guess Gus left his playbook. I wasn’t sure what else to expect, but man, that was awful.

I’ve never understood why Gus wouldn’t give his QB easy routes like those. His offense was always run it or bomb it. When he didn’t have a run game he sucked.

Why leave his book behind? All the pages were colored in a long time ago. He and Chris can take it with him and become the richest High School Coaches in America.

Wrong.
Wrong. At that point Auburn needed 2 more TD's. By going for it there and not getting it it meant Auburn would have had to get two TD's plus two 2pt conversions which is a lot less likely than just waiting till the last TD and trying one there.

You're wrong and I'll try and help you understand why.
First, your premise is false. We had to get a 2 point conversion at some point right? How does waiting until the last potential touchdown increase the odds of converting?
If we miss it going for it after the first try it's still a two possession game. If we miss it going for it on the last TD we are SOL and need a hypothetical 4th possession.
Going for it early is unquestionably the correct decision.

You don’t typically go for it that early. There are situations where you could get a field goal and
Losing that point could cost you
Good coaches don’t typically chase points that early in the game.

There were only 5 minutes left... going for 2 was clearly the correct option both analytically and intuitively

Obvious you know nothing about sports. Wait as long as you can to go for two, keeps the pressure on the other team. Same thing happens with smart teams in basketball late in the game, get the two and foul and keep the pressure up don't just jack an ill advised 3.

What does he do that tells you he can play the position? Accuracy? Decision making?
The bad accuracy is a result of shitty mechanics our prior guru felt no need to fix, and his decision making is defensible considering our sieve of a line.
These things can be coached. Let's wait and see.

Until we get better upfront, both in talent, technique, and scheme, it’s going to be hard to be a great offense.
Protection of the QB is paramount. To throw accurately, you need time to set and throw.
Did you see the simple blitz in the A gap where Worm ran right by the blitzer?
Got to pick that up.
Also receivers must understand how to adjust routes, but all we have is a bubble, a tunnel and a go.

Actually you go for the 2 point conversion in that situation. Going then means at best you have to convert 1/3 and at worst you have to convert 2/3 as opposed to having to convert on your one your one attempt. Allows for more room for error.
As for basketball, I agree that you don’t just throw up a bad three but the fact of the matter is you take the open shot in that scenario. An open three earlier in the clock >>>> a forced three at the buzzer because the other team knows you need it.

I think I speak for everyone here when I ask the question "WHAT IN THE frick IS HE DOING?!"
He allowed a free pass rusher with the shortest route to the QB to come right up the gut. I don't give a shite that your gap assignment is 2 or 4 or 6. That is a basic football play on which he failed.

Well Gus is gone and hopefully a full route tree is in our near future.

Obviously you know nothing about statistics, logic, or common sense. I know it's rare to acknowledge you're wrong on a message board but sometimes when it's so obvious you have no choice. Or at least just let it ride, don't double down on yourself.

This was your attempt at an analogous situation? Jacking up an ill advised 3 is a much lower percentage shot than taking a 2.
Going for two in football whether there are 5 min. left or 1 min. left are the same probability.

There was 4:41 left in the game.

Yea, I would say the time was about right but being so many points behind, you typically kick it and move on.
I think we need to check the chart. Anyone got a copy?
