That's a pretty good picture of your football program as of late.

If the pass is not tipped ,Milner#28 intercepts. They knew what play was coming. Look at how he had his man pushed to the boundary .


Yea I wondered why he was throwing to Milliner's side. He had no one even remotely open on that side of the field.

So you're saying he's a pick-throwing choke artist because he's short? Interesting. I thought it was because he's a mental case.





Show me where I said that. Sounds like someone has some insecurities about their QB situation.

Q: What do these two qb's have in common?


A: They have helped bolster JD Clowney's sack stats immensely.

The knock on short QBs is they can't see over their lineman and they have too many tipped passes at the line.



Brees has a ton of tipped passes. But he still manages to get the job done. I dunno. It was a good play by Alabama. Certainly, Murray isn't in the same realm as a guy like Brees.

Just curious but who was the last "Great" 3+ year starter at a Big 6 that didn't win one.


Brandon Cox started for Auburn, 2005-07.

Loved me some Brandon Cox, but he wasn't "great" by any definition. No SEC titles for Auburn, 2005-07.

Yeah. Clowney got what... 1 sack against Murray this past year?

It was a tongue-in-cheek response.

UGA didn't lose the game because the pass was tipped.

UGA lost the game because the tipped pass was caught.

Big difference.


Exactly and the pass wasn't tipped because Murray is 6'. The pass was tipped because C.J. Mosley made a goddamn great play. Not sure why it is so difficult for people to just give him credit. Even the Gumps are too busy tripping over themselves talking shite about a QB that threw for 265 yards against them and was 5 yards from beating them to give proper credit to their own man.

FTR, there was no need to spike it, there was nothing wrong with the play. The only real change is that Murray should have hiked it sooner, it should have been hiked at :12 and it was at :09. Had it not been tipped, it wouldn't have been intercepted, the best they could have hoped for is a knockdown. Mitchell had a good 3-4 yards outside, he wasn't "pushed to the boundary". I would have bet on MM catching it though as you had a WR 1-on-1 with an overmatched CB (yes, I know who the CB was).

Cliffs: C.J. Mosley's vertical cost us a shot, not Murray's height. People bitching that we should have spiked the ball, etc. have never played football in their lives.

South Carolina and Florida would have beaten Alabama that day.

Jeff Driskel and Connor Shaw would have completed that pass for a touchdown and the win.

Also, I'm not so sure Georgia would have beaten Notre Dame in the National Championship game. Both teams were highly overrated because of their laughably easy schedules.

UGA's kicker missed a field goal in that game. UGA wouldn't have necessarily had to score a TD for the win, if the kicker made that kick, followed by a hypothetical 2nd kick for the walk off win.

There's a bunch of little stuff you can blame the loss on. Murray's height is one of those, I suppose. The educated answer is that UGA's defense shouldn't have let Lacy/Yeldon mouthrape them in the 3rd quarter. I think that was alot more relevant than Murray's height.

Well when you start for 4 seasons in a fairly pass heavy offense in a league that historically runs the ball and plays defense and clock control, its not that hard to do.

Starting 4 seasons at a Big 6 school and winning zero SEC titles does not make you all that great.


He is second only to McCarron in efficiency... that has nothing to do with rushing and defense.

Also.... and maybe this was mentioned and I didn't see it due to a quick skim, Murray was recruited as a dual threat qb to replace Shockley... he can run and make some moves. His freshman year, he actually did, quite alot. After a few big hits, Richt/Bobo decided his arm was good enough to train him into a pocket passer. That has actually worked out pretty well.

The point is that in the NFL, he could still be a potential dual threat. The fact JFF will be entering the same draft means that you won't hear a peep about Murray's running skills, and rightly so. JFF is a freak.
