Clemson - 3rd and 32...Marshall rush

I'm talking tendencies in 3rd and long situations - and not everything 3rd and 5+ for God's sake. Look at everything where we're 3rd and 15+

By running a draw you're basically setting up to punt. Anyone who has watched GA knows we consistently do this.

Oh... and if you can't add anything other than slobbering on somebody elses knob go frick yourself.

I wouldn't go that far. He's got the keys to a hell of an offense. Do you not find it odd that he "has really come in to his own the past 3 years" with the overall talent level on offense the past 3 years?

I think you can attribute it to him just getting better at his job. He had Stafford and Moreno with Massaquoi and AJ with them and didnt look this good. I think he's progressing and just calling better games overall. He's getting creative, putting in new packages, etc...

Yea, great answer to my question about what play
YOU WOULD CALL. 3rd and 25 or 32.Still haven't
heard. ONCE agian,OBSERVE a fricking NFL or SEC
game and see what's called in these situations.
God,you're fricking dense.

Slobber? That's hilarious. I KILL CTG on a regular
basis on this board and rightfully so when it's deserved.

And we have had better offensive line play the last couple years.

But he's slow to the punch. The pistol didn't just come out. This guy will never be cutting edge.

I'm not saying he's a bad OC, but he's far from "GREAT."

Alright, man. You'll never give Bobo the credit he deserves. I get it. I appreciate the avi, too. Love the free advertising.

He's great when we have a great running game.

But what OC isn't?

The emergence of him as a playcaller (and us beating top teams) has coincided with us being able to run the football.

He's still accountable for the years when we had no running game.

You do know we were on our OWN 3 yard line and
Murray had just got sacked the play before
don't you?

Let's see,3rd and 32 on the road on your own 3 and the game tied vs a ranked team. What do you think 90% of the coaches in the NFL or SEC call?

Like I said, he's not bad, but I wouldn't crown him king of the world. But to be fair, I know Mike. We were at Georgia together. He's not a drooling idiot, but I damn sure wouldn't call him one of the brightest minds in college football.

Bobo has really improved. On those 3rd and long plays, I'd like to see some more pass plays and some more screens to pick up those extra yards. Draw plays are great if they aren't expected, but he used to run that play on just about every 3rd and long, so they never worked.

I noticed he's been putting in more HB screens lately, so that's something I'd like to see more of. He certainly has room for improvement, but I think he's progressed leaps and bounds above where he was a few short years ago.

I would go as far as guessing that 1/3 of Murray's recent interceptions have been on screens. Balls tipped, runningbacks falling down, or the DL who doesn't bite on the pass rush.

Deep in our own endzone, that's 6 points automatic.

If someone's biggest playcall complaint is what we do on 3rd and a hundred, I think he's doing OK.
If you're going to be conservative, then be conservative. Don't call the 1 pass that your QB struggles with ever since he stepped on campus.

SIAP but....

Even though we are scoring alot of points, we make it look very difficult, while other top offenses tend to make it look easy.

I agree with you completely.

I also think that we need to improve on those kinds of plays, since screens are very effective, especially against aggressive pass rushes that we typically see on passing situations (like 3rd and long).

I get why we don't call more of them,, but I think we have the obligation to figure out how to execute better rather than concede the drive with a draw play.

I wasn't referring to you...look at my reply. I was replying to Ala taking a cheap shot with no input to the discussion.

Also, I did say any of the dump passes past the LOS we used on the final drive against LSU would be better than a draw on a long 3rd down. Other than that, anything where we don't hand the ball off 5 yrds behind the LOS would be fine by me.

Is it a huge deal. No. Is it indicative of a lack of urgency or creativity. Yes. Hell, why don't we just punt instead.

Besides, that was one tongue in cheek comment. Why do you guys get so fricking defensive when Bobo gets criticized?

Question, why do you shite on Grantham who lost his whole squad to the NFL but can't find a bad thing to say about Bobo who led the most prolific UGA offense in history to 11 consecutive 3 and outs against Clemson?

Didn't we run a pretty effective FB pass against SC in that same situation the following week for a first. Obviously, shorter yardage but at least we're not punting in our own end zone.

BTW that probably would've scored a TD too instead of trying to run into 11 guys 3 times in a row when the game was on the line.

You're honestly arguing with me about how on 3rd and 20+ that the draw is such a great decision it should be the play 9 our of 10 times. Really?

That was a different situation. Clemson was pinning their ears back to rush the passer. USC was expecting a run because we were trying to burn the clock.

In THAT particular situation at CU? Are you fricking kidding me? After they had just sacked our QB?

Of course it's the right call. PS...you're kinda
limited on your options when 3rd and 32 on your
OWN 3 yard line.

So the fullback pass is perfect if they're looking for the run? You mean like in all those 2nd and 3rd quarter 3 and outs against Clemson? Or down at the goal line when they put 11 in the box?

So the draw is perfect if they're "pinning their ears back and rushing the passer"? How about if its 3rd and 25 and they're dropping everyone back in coverage. Perfect then too I guess as long as Bobo calls it.

I guess those were perfect calls because obviously Bobo is the ultimate play caller. How could I have been so blind?
