With 8 minutes and all 3 TO's left?

I.mean as a Georgia fan I'll take it but I didn't think Deboer was retarded.

Needed some points. Which we did get eventually.

Yeah but still.

If he'd have been around their own 35, I'd see it

But Holy Hell

I figure he'd had a punt blocked already and would have been punting from his end zone and give Georgia the ball around the 50 at best and a Field Goal sealed it so why not

They were down by 2 scores. Punting there almost guarantees its over.

do you remember when fat Lesbo Kirby punted with about 4-5 minutes left against Alabama the first game?

It was a 2 score game. Georgia had dominated the time of possession and Alabama doesn't really get explosive plays. We are more of a long drive type of team....when it's working. 7+ minute drives are common and like 9 minutes left in the game.

If there was any chance of this team to win, they had to convert. They didn't and that was the basic story of the entire game.

DeBoer was playing to win, rather than playing to lose by less points.

DeBoer is aggressive on offense, that's just his mo.

Down two scores with the defense starting to get gashed.

I can't fault it

That was absolutely the right call if you're trying to win the game.

I mean if you can't get 2 yards you aren't coming back

Which is really stupid because Alabama would be gifted another back in playoff appearance had he tried to lose by less points.

Alabama has benefited from it more than anyone else. Wouldn't knock it if I were you.

I don't look at things that way. The format is dumb, it devalues strength of schedule. It makes it so playing weak schedules is the best path rather than promoting good match ups.

And it's going to result in making things worse. Alabama shouldn't be in the playoffs this year. Not because they aren't among the 12 best teams, but because 12 teams is way too fricking many.
