So if our running back who isn’t known for his blocking makes a block on the best defender on the team (maybe in the SEC) we might have gotten the first?
Or, we could have given the ball to someone who would at least have fallen forward when getting tackled from the side?

Replace Chubb with anyone else. When a play misses an assignment, the chance of failure is great. I don't care if Chubb is running the ball. The ball carrier needs his team to do their job.

Well, lining up Chubb as a fullback was also stupid given that he was a tailback...

As good as Chubb was, Sony Michel was better and he should have been getting first team reps the whole NC game

Are you certain it was his assignment? For all you know, an OL was supposed to block the LB who made the stop.

It was 1st and goal at the 4 and we're down 3. The 1st down call was fine because I'm sure SC, like you and everyone else, was expecting Gurley so play action was a fine call. It's not Bobo's fault that Mason called for intentional grounding and the OL got zero protection on the play.
The best way to set up a bootleg play action is to do a run play or two immediately before it. Bobo lacked the patience necessary to properly set that play up, and their DE wasnt blocked because the play didnt call for him to be blocked.

We’d been running over them all day long. I think we were expecting them to think run.
Again, I didn’t enjoy the play call, but it’s not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be.

Running over them all game long makes the call even worse. You should force the D to make a stop against your best player. Instead, we gave them the benefit of doubt. You really want the defender to focus on Gurley. Thats why doing it immediately before should lead to better results. Instead, the DE wasnt programmed to crash down on the RB as was intended, and he had a free path to the QB.

People bite on playactions all the time after a turnover trying to catch them off guard.
The defender did a good job staying home. Again, I thought we got too cute, but if the play is called correctly by the refs we have two or three chances from the 4 for Gurley to pound the rock in.

I cant think of any other examples of the situation we were in to compare, but it always seems like those bootlegs work on the goal line after the D successfully stops the RB from scoring a time or two.
I think the play works if we set it up in that order because that DE would have likely crashed down. With that said, Mason did a terrible job of selling the play action.
He also a terrible job of selling throw away as he was awkwardly throwing it in an obvious downward motion, but thats the risk of a naked bootleg with a panicky QB.

That was the method of the day in the NFL. Less chance of tipping it up.

It’s all about how well you sell it. You are more likely to get away with it if isn’t thrown directly into the lower half of the defender that is in your face and your motion isn’t so obviously not intending to complete a pass. He buckled his whole body unlike those skilled nfl qbs. Of course it also helps to be outside the tackle box.

There is no way that Sony was better than Chubb overall.

I mean, that’s pretty debatable. The Patriots think he is.
ETA: Sony was absolutely far more effective in that game against Bama. I do think there was some kind of injury issue coming down the stretch of that game.

Fromm lost his nerve in the national championship game and again in the SEC Championship.

Oh, I'm not defending that play call. Chubb just missed the block. If they had run with both Chubb and Michel in the backfield on that play, they probably get the one yard even with a missed block.

Second unpopular opinion.
Sony Michel was a better running back than Nick Chubb and if it wasn't for Chubb's comeback story, Michel would've been our 1A instead of 1B.
EDIT: This was already mentioned above....Apologies

Yes. Chubb was the lead blocker on the play. The LB slid down the LOS on Chubb's left, and he just whiffed on the block. Regrettable....but it happens sometimes.

Hitting the QB hard does that.
See Hurts in the NCG and Tua in the SECCG.
