One wasn't on Stet. Washington was supposed to sit down and he turned out.

the sheeple say that we abandoned the run.

I wish we had a smarter fanbase. At least make sound points when we bitch after a loss.


After Bama went up 34-24 in the 3rd qtr, we ran a little to keep their D honest but passed twelve times with only three runs. But, I'm only a sheeple. What do I know about football?
And, I never bitched about the loss.

Take out our last drive. Good god. Are we down by 3 scores and you are bitching that we are throwing 6 times to try and catch any fast break?

After Bama went up 34-24 in the third quarter, we ran 3 plays (2 passes and 1 run).
Before we ran any plays ,we took a delay of game. 1st and 15.
Pass, run, pass.

That's what you are bitching about? Down by 2 scores going into the 4th quarter and we pass, run, pass and give the ball back?

The reality is that we should bitch about our defense not getting us the ball back. Bama held the ball 11:21 in the 4th quarter alone.

Down by 3 scores in the 4th quarter, anyone bitching about 6 passes is a sheeple. I absolutely dont budge on that remark. If you own it, wear it.

I NEVER bitched about the game. I merely stated we had to give up the run game and throw the ball after going down two scores in the third quarter. YOU are the one that claimed I was bitching. By the fourth quarter we HAD to throw the ball to try to catch up quickly. A fast TD early in the fourth and we could have run the ball more, eat the clock and maybe score a TD or a FG to tie the game.
I can't see how we could have done anything different in the fourth quarter than what we did, except complete a few more passes.
Personally, I think Pickens is not running great routes and that's why he isn't getting more throws.

Anyone who complains about getting away from the run doesnt understand that no one gets enough snaps when you dont get first downs.

Do you understand that in your scenario, we ran 3 plays and started the drive 1st and 15? Pass run pass.
You cant get away from any playcalling if you are only running 3 plays.

And as for the 3rd down call, we are not built to run consistently on SEC teams in third down. We converted one the entire game against Bama on the ground (3rd and 1). We are 9/24 converting third downs on the ground this season. We are 2/12 when the third down is longer than 3 yards (both of those conversions were Stetson scrambles).

We lead the SEC in third down conversions through the air (19 total).
16 for 38 passing when needing more than 3 yards.

I was certainly concerned about not running enough at the beginning of the 3rd qtr but somehow you got your
panties in a wad and for some reason brought up our lack of 3rd and short success vs other
teams.

No idea why our lack of 3rd and short success in our previous games would have anything to do with running on 1st and 2nd down vs Bama in the 3rd qtr especially when we were running for more YPC against them than any of our 3 previous opponents.

If you really think we need to get in a shooting match with Bama's offense I have ne reason to have this discussion with you.

ETA: Game was over when Bama went up by 10 so it didn't matter to me what we did on offense.Didnt bother me one way or another what we did. Bennett doesn't have the capability of leading us back
at that point.

We rushed in 13 plays and passed for 11 plays in the 3rd quarter.

There wasnt a 3 down set where we didnt rush the football in the 3rd quarter.

What does it mean when someone says that we got away from the run with the playcalling? I'd love an honest assessment.

I'm not sure what point you are bringing up.
On first and second down in the third quarter, we had 13 runs to 6 pass attempts.

Again, please define what it means when a playcaller gets away from the running game? I'd love to know what that statement means.

Dont put words in my mouth.
I think that people who complain about getting away from the run against Bama didnt watch the game. We ran the ball 2:1 in the third quarter on first and second downs.
We ran the ball more than passed in the third quarter on all downs.

Playcalling is the easiest Monday morning gripe.

The entire season playcalling has be more than adequate. That's including this past Saturday.

If he gonna keep playing, he’s gonna need to run more. It’s one of his best assets.

Don't disagree but don't ya think
it may have been a wise decision to grind some clock and keep the Bama offense on the sideline?
Especially with our success running the ball?

Did anyone think we could win that game exchanging punts or outscoring an offense that was averaging 51 ppg?

Of course not.

Possibly, but turn one of those turnovers into a touchdown and another into a field goal and Georgia likely wins that game.

Obviously that's an oversimplification, but isn't that the name of the game on Monday morning?

Put it this way: If Bama has three turnovers and we have one who wins?

Look at our passing stats up
to the point of the 2nd interception. 4 blocked passes,2 interceptions and 2 sacks . There was more than a 25% chance one of those things were happening
with Bennett pulling the trigger.

I don't think I over simplified anything.The odds of good things happening with Bennett passing just weren't in our favor and despite what some folks think, passing the ball wasn't our only option.

Which offense is more likely to turn the ball over? I'll take my chance with a QB who leads the country in QBR,has 2 first rd WR's and the best OL in the country as opposed a 5'10 QB who probably
leads CFB in passes knocked down,a good but inexpirenced WR group and a good OL.
