Tie game, 4th quarter, conference title on the line.

Another absolutely ballsy call, and much better executed than the last time we tried it in that situation.

Great play and great execution.

Complete shocker.

First completion by a Bobo since 1997.

1 for 1 for 9 yards.

Arian Smith is amazing at everything he does for Georgia football... Except complete contested passes.

I told my wife when it happened:

"The balls on Kirby!"

I noticed that ESPN was quick to call back to the disastrous fake punt in 2018 with Justin Fields vs Bama.

I'm convinced that play sealed the deal that Fields would hit the portal. (Not that I'm complaining about what happened in the following years for us with Stet).

The call was truly brilliant, the execution was horrendous.

And just like in 2018, if D.bobo or Arian had messed up and we fumbled, instead of people talking about kirbys enormous gonads and incredible call we're calling for heads and demanding firings.

I liked the design of this play much better although there were a number of things that could’ve gone wrong. For under 5 yds though … that was tough to stop.

The announcer kept asking why he jumps to catch when he doesn't have to. I had never thought about it, but yeah, he does that. If he didn't, would he have better completion percentage?

Can it be coached out of him if he makes the next level?

Listening to Sark, he seemed to think the defender did a great job preventing a much larger play.

edit:

It would have been hilarious seeing the Texas guys all running down the field to block and speedy Arian running past them.
