That doesn't negate the fact that many times bone headed plays were called, both defenses were atrocious at points during the game as well. There is no way an inept South Carolina offense should be able to put that many points on the board, on the other hand there is no way we shouldn't have been able to put points on the board against Oklahoma State, hell Houston rung them up for 24 in the 4th quarter. Even with an impressive offensive showing, that doesn't mean Bobo is calling great plays, it simply means that Georgia executed them against a defense that had more holes than swiss cheese. I mean for god's sake, Richard Samuel was blown down by the wind against OSU, but against SC he played like Hershel Walker. Bobo still called the same plays, but somehow the flimsy armed Joe Cox made the 5 yard outlet passes this time instead of throwing them over their head or 3 feet in front of them into the ground.
If I remember correctly, in the fourth quarter we had the ball and the lead and only needed to run down the clock and Bobo dialed up 3 pass plays which turned out to be a disaster. I mean the detroit lions can put up points too, but to say whoever is calling their plays is a genius is far from the truth. I guess my only real complaint against Bobo is his inconsistency, some games he'll dial up a great play at just the right time, but most of the time he'll do boneheaded things that allows the other team to get back into the game, like calling 3 passing plays when we needed to run up some clock time.
Maybe I'm wrong but I've never been a fan of Bobo's and I just think we can do better than that. Wasn't Richt with FSU calling offensive plays when they won a national championship? I'm not sure, I'll have to check on that, but if he was... why isn't he calling the plays?
