Richt simply could not come up with a winning play in the clutch. I would have spiked the ball and called a play with Murray rolling out with multiple options that included Gurley.

What was called was a fade route with your best player, Gurley, attempting to block the DE who tipped the pass? Really? No other options but to throw that improbable, well covered fade? Really?

Richt wasn't blocking bama's DL.

running the play was the right call.

the play that was called was our bread and butter that had scored countless TDs all season. Back shoulder throw to mitchell from abotu 10 yards out was aboslute money.

gurley did block him, he did his job just fine as murray had all the time and room he needed to throw. Sometimes an all american defender makes an all american play.


It amazes me so many people want to blame richt or the playcall for that play. We drove the length of the field in a minute against the best defense in america and had them on their heels. Going for the win was absolutely the right move. Letting them catch their breath and having saban draw a play would have been stupid.
