Was the right call IMO. I just can’t figure out the play call there. I understand passing it bc you know OM is thinking run and will stack the box. I was hoping he would use a TE sneak with Knox like we did earlier in the game (which was wide open). I don’t think passing was the wrong call but I do think you give KJ the option to run it in if the pass isn’t there

On the road, defense is completely gassed, and you’re gonna give Corrall and company a short field to work with in OT, yeah I’d go for 2 as well

it was the same play that we ran with the other option being the shovel pass. Wish we would have went with a speed option.

This was supposed to be a screen, and I think back to Rocket on the inside. it certainly was a run-pass option as far as KJ and Treylon were concerned, but not what the OL and Rocket were expecting...
there was some kind of mass confusion with the routes - AJ Green didn't look for the ball in time on his flat route, Knox seemed to be trying to set a pick, but for who?
But the main thing is, the OL was screen blocking. They are blocking downfield. This was not intended for Burks or Knox and Green. The only back it could have been for is Rocket.
Look at the Oline screen blocking, and Rocket sitting back to the inside ready for a throwback to the middle screen 16:16 mark

Not sure what the play was supposed to be but I am sure Ole Miss blew it up with the quick pressure.

I don't know why people are hanging on this at all. In my mind it was the ONLY thing to do. Why go to OT and give them a chance at all? Shooters shoot. Like the end of a CBB game. Give it to your best guy and tell him to go win the game. Doesn't always work out but it's the right move.

It was the only option. I would have rather had taken the chance on converting the 2PC, as compared to winning it in OT. We couldn't stop OM on offense.
Our D and them giving up the long runs for TD's is perplexing. This isn't the same D that we saw the first four games of the year. Our D lost the game for us, not our offense.

KJ had Johnson open for the shovel pass. He just had his eyes glued on Burks. The call wasn’t bad. Execution was. Oh well. We flipped the coin and lost the toss.
Learning moment. We’ll get better from it.
