So much for the Bama raping predictions. Bama dodged a bullet. And I hope fans know that. I know the players do. They were sweating bullets with UGA on the 35.

To me this is the shame of this game. It is regarded as UGA ran out of time instead of BAMA rushes for 350. The later is why UGA lost. Not because they didnt spike the ball.


absolutely. while they blew it in the end giving up 350 yds makes it hard for any team. the offense didn't give them rest and our DL played shameful. you play somewhat mediocre rush d and UGA is in a helluva lot better position. 350 is unacceptable

Excellent post. Thanks. Any serious poster on this forum would do well to read and consider before reaching any conclusion regarding LSU clock management.

Drew Brees and the Saints and Tom Brady and the Pats have both screwed up clock management drives this season but now all of a sudden people (LSU) think a bunch of 18-22 years olds can run 3 plays in 13 seconds after a spike.

That would have given them 2 shots at the endzone instead of 1, correct?

What? Then refute what MetryTiger posted about that incident.

Changing gears here:

IMHO, college football teams are not going to be able to execute precise clock management just like the NFL teams do. The college teams are amateurs, so, I am not surprised when Murray/Richt or Jordan Jefferson/Miles don't manage the clock like Brady/Belichick.

It's fun to argue the point, but, the right move in college ball is most probably to spike it when there is time to do so.

Bottom line is Bama made a game winning play by tipping the pass. Give credit where due


At the time it happened, I actually thought Richt and/or Bobo had wet the bed. Murray was asking about spiking the ball. They didn't call it.

Instead, what it was was a pretty good call to keep the current Bama defense on the field and disorganized. CJ Mosley made a helluva play. If he doesn't tip it, I think the ball had a shot. Instead of a corner fade, they ran a curl at the pylon.

I still would've clocked it, but I think the call was as good as any.

It was a backshoulder pass to Malcolm Mitchell. And he would have caught it.

For God's sake, you don't get 2 shots if the first one gets tipped and caught inbounds like it did. You can't say that happened because they didn't spike it.


The game ended because of the tip.

All things being equal if they had spiked it then run the play... THE GAME WOULD HAVE STILL ENDED BECAUSE OF THE TIP.

If UGA spiked it and regrouped, there may have not been a tip. And yeah. Bama dodged a bullet.

No not clocking it or throwing to the endzone was stupid. Nice try.

The tip is what did the game in once caught.

I don't know why people feel a spiked ball would have been better.

Georgia was thinking they may have had Bama off guard with the quick play. Had the fade got there and not tipped, there would have been a chance to score.

It just so happened they also caught it which was the dagger.

Whose to say they wouldn't. The whole point is the tipped pass was what cost the Bulldogs.

Yep. You cannot blame the WR for catching it.

I thought for sure UGA was going to pull out a victory. Saban's 2 Two Point Conversions and UGA's missed FG were the deciding factors. IMO. A FG could have tied or won the game. But hey, that's just they way it goes sometimes. It just happens to CMR all the time.
