Well coached teams have that put the other team away mentality. Richt is here to stay for a while longer, but that does not make him a top 10 coach. They had multiple chances to put Mich St away and they played not to lose...guess what, Mark, you lost.
This conservative bs has to stop somehow. Watch the OL on over 20 plays let the defense into our backfield to create plays for losses. Smart play calling can quickly slow that agressive bum rush without the OL execution perfectly. Until Bobo and Richt get smarter with the play calls, no lead will ever be safe.
