talk about a game changing play the level you rarely see instead of 14-3 and turning florida into a one dimensional team playing catchup, you fumble the ball, you bench your electric running back and go nowhere on offense behind the 50 % Fournette for nearly 2 quarters of play and you find yourself scrambling to come from behind instead. so why on god's green earth would you allow the called play to continue with 9 in the box with no help in the endzone with single coverage on not one but two receivers? coach O has to live with that idiotic decision for the rest of his life....it likely sealed his fate as to whether he would get the LSU job permanently by the time Guice got the football in his bread basket and moved it into a tucked position he was hit immediately......I will go so far as to say we should not have benched Guice at all since it was not his fault solely on the fumble...blame the play call and the fact you still dont trust your qb enough to give him the power to audible in such an obvious situation
Back to the thread topic. I would like O to respond to why we didn't attempt at least one throw to the TE on the last possession.
Man coach O should have known better being our head coach for the last 12 years, oh shit wait a minute he's only been there for 6 games. Coach O has to live with idiotic fans. BTW that electric RB cost us 14 points. Fumbled on the 5 and made the wrong cut on the last play, check it out its real.
He did, he said he lets his coordinators make the calls but that they probably should have thrown the ball at least once. He needs a new OC.
the most frustrating thing is the play calling in between the LSU 20 and the Florida 5 yard line was about as good and innovative as I have seen since 2007
Just an opinion guys, but that last LSU drive the length of the field was run almost to perfection in time consumption and play calling. It was everything you wanted to finally drive the stake in the gators. Not having LF7 near the goal line was most unfortunate and the stakes couldn't have been higher. The last play that sealed the Tigers fate was on Guice. He simply missed the call and that leap was going nowhere near the goal line and his extension fumbled the ball. My guess is that the play they called for Guice, that didn't get executed, would have allowed some of the shake and bake in him to maximize his skill level in the end zone.
3rd down would have been a great opportunity. Hell in 5 goal to go possessions I think LSU attempted 2 passes. that's 16 snaps, no wait 3 throws. 16 snaps 3 throws, 2 were the same exact play play action to the fullback and 1 was a throw to Fournette or what should have been a throw but Etling ran it. All to the right side.
