It was idiotic because Fields had never been on the punt team
I disagree.
It was the 2 most talented UGA players. Fields throwing to Swift with a linebacker in coverage.
Offensive coordinators love that matchup. Defensive coordinators dread that matchup.
The failure was in execution. You can blame the coaching. You can blame the player with the ball in his hands (throwing the ball in that situation often gets a PI).

Saban & the Bama coaches aren't idiots. Alabama has a massive staff watching every play.
funny you say that, considering they didn't change their punt safe lineup in 6 years. We ran the exact same play against them in 2012 for a big gain and a 1st down. And despite being non-idiots and despite having an army of analysts watching every play, they didn't change a single thing about how they defend in that particular situation. So kirby calls the same play, and we have the same look, and if it was executed correctly it's a 1st down and we run down the clock and win and head to the playoffs as SEC champs and peopel are talking abotu it as one of the best calls of all time.
Again the call itself was genius. The execution was horrendous. For starters we inexplicably waited an eternity to snap the ball, by which time bama had already sniffed it out and adjusted. It was doomed at that point. And I do agree Fields shouldnt' have been there considering that's not where he would normally be, don't know why we did that either. If we put a regular dude like a backup TE there (I think it was Lynch in 2012) and snap it immediatley we're heros.
