I couldn't believe they did that either. Give LSU the ball on the 45 with 3mins left is just stupid. They should have just kicked it to KW, we haven't had success on returning kicks for TD or even crossing the 50. I really don't understand whey they did that. Although they almost got the ball from LSU after the squib kicks with guys trying to run that shouldn't try to run with it and with somebody on the front tipping the ball. But in the end, it was a terrible decision.
Auburn squibbed it for most of the game, and showed respect for LSU's return game. The problem with the final squib kick was that it was very poorly executed. Look at the average FP without that kick as opposed to the average including that kick.
I don't fault the decision. Our kick-coverage has been lacking all year... heck you all had a punt almost go for a TD earlier in the game. I heard that our kicker had somewhat of a pulled goin so trying to kick it out of the end-zone was out of the question. That left the squib-kick. Your good return team plus our suspect coverage made the decision a no-brainer... especially since we've had earlier success. no. It wasn't a bad call. Fault the execution, not the plan. War Eagle!!! BT:OB+
So we ended up posting 300 yards offense in the 2nd half and AllEars thought their defense would stop us. Good grief. Which game was he watching? Also, another mistake was not calling timeout with 40 seconds to go to give your team a chance to get a FG to win it (at this point we all assumed we were setting up for a kick). He's an idiot. Not a riverboat gambler. Big difference.
Re: I don't fault the decision. Our kick-coverage Not here at TF. Execution was perfect and they're still bitching about the plan.
I didnt want to start a thread on this minor detail, but why did we not go for two at the end? Something I don't know? Thats my only complaint.
That is funny considering the 5 drives previous to that kickoff we were 4 of 5 with two touchdowns and two field goals. Our only failure was when Lafell had a childhood flashback and played hot potato with the pigskin. Sounds like Tubby was having his own flashback...to last year. Good call Tubby. :rofl:
Re: I don't fault the decision. Our kick-coverage Very true...'cept for me. I think it was ALL perfect!
