re: Fromm

We lost on a defensive possession, not an offensive one. We had more points than Bama did prior to that blown coverage that ended the game.

Enough with the excuses. It simply wasn’t a good throw. After Wims burnt his man, it took a well underthrown ball for the db to be near the ball, so It’s fair to credit him with an int. Even if you want to be ridiculous, and remove all his ints, 121 still isn’t good, and that’s not taking the negative rushing yards into account. Qbs who help beat Bama usually do much better than that. Simply put, Fromm needed to do more, just as other QBs did.

Let’s review the end of that game to see what more he could have done:

1. We only went to OT because Bama missed an easy fg after Fromm failed to lead us down the field on the final drive. That’s the kind of drive that requires a qb to lead a team down the field for a win, but he missed an open swift on 3rd down. Punt to tua = bad idea.

2. OT gave uga the ball in scoring Position. The offense didn’t have to gain one yard.

3. We only took the lead on a clutch special teams play after fromm took a terrible 13 yard sack. Give rod credit, not the offense.

4. Tua’s td would not have won the game if fromm threw one himself. It’s not good to settle for a fg with the first possession of OT.
