South Carolina Game Day thread

Super Bowl play calling by Seattle remind anyone of the South Carolina game inside the 5 yard line? Wow! Using the UGA playbook it appeared.

It was like deja' vu all over again. I've already heard it referred to as the dumbest play call in football history. I guess people who say that don't watch UGA football because they would know it was the second dumbest call in history.

Y'all beat me to the punch.......line......Looks like Pete fell victim to "RICHTING" last night! Even the announcers were amazed. Guess there's always a "silver lining" to our woes.....At least our annual RICHTING doesn't happen at the Big Show!!!

Wednesday Gentlemen.....NSD......The next step in stoking the "maybe this year" hopes of the Doe Eyed!!!

GO DAWGS!!!!!!

Also brought back thoughts of the SEC Championship Game against Alabama. Little different, but I can still visualize AM running down the field looking to the sideline for "guidance(?)".

Type of play calling that many folks don't like to discuss or "rehash" concerning our head coach. It is what it is. First time, shame on you, second time, shame on me. I count two, without going into "pooch talk".

If your count is only at two, you are being far too kind!

The entire BullDawg nation all said the same thing last night:

The Seahawks were Richted by PC.

What a bone-headed play, and not surprisingly.... what a terrible result. That's usually what
happens when you make terrible play calls.

BUt do you know how truly Richtish this was? Did you hear his post game comments about the
reasoning?

Now keep in ,ind... they were at the 1 yard line... with a timeout.

When asked "WHY WHY WHY????", Carrol's response was (per yahoo)
sports.yahoo.com/news/what-were-seahawks...sense-062200547.html

Here's what Carroll said: "We sent in our personnel, they sent in their goal-line [unit]. It was not the right matchup for us to run the football, so on second down we throw the ball to really kind of waste that play. If we score, we do, if we don't, then we run it on third and fourth down."

Waste that play. Those words are almost as stunning as the call itself. There were 26 seconds left.

The Seahawks did waste the play. They also wasted the season.

Of course the Patriots would send in their goal-line unit. The play was on the goal line. And the play would have been on the goal line again if Lynch was stopped. And the same on fourth down. This is a running back who is known as "Beast Mode" because he runs over much larger people consistently and unyieldingly. There was a near certainty he would run over just one or two more, and give Seattle a championship.

It was the ultimate in a coaching staff out-thinking itself. Carroll is known for being clever –remember the brilliant fake field goal in the NFC championship? – and yet here he was far too clever. Hand the ball to Lynch. Win the title.


The decision and the post game comment..100% classic Mark Richt moves.. 100%.

NC Dawg noted at least our Richting's don't come in the Championship game, but I would remiss if I didn't point out that even Clown Carrol was able to actually make and win a championship game.....
