Bama had punt safe defense on and Georgia called a fourth and long fake punt pass Bama was clearly ready for.

Not exactly a typical “back up” QB. Im not saying it’s a brilliant call but I don’t think it’s as dumb or impactful as many think.
Do you want another drive after Bama had the ball is the question. Otherwise you are basically playing for the tie.



Tie game.
4th and 11 at the 50 yard line.
Opponents starting QB is injured.
Time running out in the game.
Good chance to pin opponent inside the 10.

You don't ever fake punt

I’m thinking Fields was told to either fake or punt and somehow the idiot decided to still go with the fake. Kirby couldn’t be that dumb to actually call the fake punt in that situation. Could he?

You don’t coach with an algorithm and I’d offer that he knew GA wasn’t stopping us.
You can’t make decisions based on “if we pin them”. Lots of shite can go wrong with a punt too so risk free options are an illusion.
Kirby wanted the ball back and clearly he knew if he punted he probably wouldn’t get it and Bama would have last chNce to score.

Perhaps the call that was remarkable is that Bama knew the fake was coming since it was such a ridiculous play to call by most common thought.
