Sorry but I didn't understand that call last night at all.

If it had worked you would be here crowing about what a brilliant call it was.

i wouldn't have. a fake fg on anything more than 4 yards to go doesn't make a lot of sense from a statistical standpoint. That plus you're passing up a chance to go up 31-7 and force them to get 3 TDs and 3 two point conversions just to tie you which is a lot less likely than just 3 Tds.

It was a terrible call any way you slice it.

This. I didn't have a problem with it. No real harm could come of it other than the loss of 3 points.

Never.

Unless you include those with severe head trauma injuries.

Let's just say you got a wild hair up your arse to call a fake FG on 4th and 9 from the 13 up by 21 midway thru the third quarter.

You gonna run it through the middle b/w the tackles?

I truly think Miles was feeling a little left out with Cam making the calls and needed to assert himself.

It was a dumb call considering the circumstances.

Not me. I don't care if we would have scored that call in that situation was stupid and if you disagree than you know nothing about football. Bet Cam was pulling his hair out on that one. It had Les written all over it

B.S. Even it worked it was totally uncalled for. A 3 score lead in 4th quarter would have put game on ice. Assuming..... the on side kick goes Auburn's way they could have pulled the improbable upset b/c of poor coaching. However, on the bright side - it did gain almost 9 yards. That's pretty good just not when it's 4th and long. WTF? Miles being Miles. We WON! Let's look forward to Georgia and continuing out national title hopes. It's going to be another great SEC game. We need to play smarter.

I liked the call at the time for several reasons except one. Nine yards was too far for a fake. Especially a fake of that kind. We must admit however, no one was expecting it. It cost me about $500 because LSU would have covered had we made that FG.
