Worst Gary Crowton call?
Posted on 8/31/11 at 10:49 am

A. 2009 against Penn State. Down 19-17 with 40 seconds left and no timeouts, Crowton calls a screen pass to the middle of the field. It gets stuffed and time runs out.
B. 2008 vs. Alabama. In OT, on 3rd and short besides running for a 1st down, he put the game in redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee's hands, who already threw 3 ints. this game, and went for the end zone where it was picked off.
C. 2009 vs. Ole Miss. Down by 2 and in FG range, all LSU has to do is run the ball a few times and kick a FG for the game winner. But Crowton called a pass play where Jefferson dropped back 7 yards or so - he was of course sacked and LSU was out of FG range. This was, imo, worse then the hail mary WTF we actually caught it!! play..
D. 2010 vs. Tennessee. Lee leads a great, potential game winning drive down the field. With 30 seconds left inside the 5 yard line - Crowton calls for a massive substitution, changing WRs, QBs, and TEs besides just leaving the same players in. Mass confusion leads to a blown play, thank god T-Bob Hebert snapped the ball.
E. I'm sure there are plenty others.
I will not miss this offense

How about his best "no-call"?
40 seconds to go vs Tennessee last year and instead of getting a play in, we get a wild snap and a chaotic ending.
Thank God UT had 13 men on the field.

E. Whatever the play call was on Fourth down at Auburn in 2010. The WRs didn't know where to line up and it didn't appear that anyone was on the same page.

Not using Charles Scott in 2nd half of 2007 Kentucky game after Scott destroyed Kentucky all first half. I know that is not one call but it sure pissed me off.

lol at all this Crowton hate..
I hope he fricking tears it up at Maryland. This guy got so much flack and I believe most of it was unwarranted.

How about that stupid arse screen pass in the 2009 Ole Miss game that caused us to lose 7 more yards.

You believe wrong.
He will probably tear it up at Maryland this year though, but our offense will be much better as well.

The call before was even worse. 2nd and 5, Crowton puts RICHARD MURPHY in at QB for some wildcat bullshite and we lost a yard. End up in 3rd and 6. Hence the Lee pass play on 3rd down that ended up being the pick to seal the game.

That one.
Crowton's fatal flaw is he doesn't think player weaknesses will impact his 'wizard' calls and packages. He's playing madden.
