Do people forget that when we ran on Bama we needed to get 8 yards on 3rd down, versus 2 yards on second down?
It wasn't the eight yards on third down call that I disagreed with; it was the second and (I believe) six. Calling plays is about catching the other team off guard. I was at the Bama game. Bama had their strong safety at linebacker depth. We had a receiver on the right side one on one with a chump. It was almost automatic. If you don't see that, there's no helping you. Similarly, on third and two, with a full game history of getting stuffed by Clemson's run-loaded short yardage defense, a pass was the right call. The coaches picked that moment to make an artistic, thing-of-beauty call that worked as in their wildest dreams...then the QB inexplicably failed. It happens. But don't blame the coaches for the call.

The passing game wasn't working, QB and WR's were out of sync and you needed to burn time or force timeouts.
It was a risky and bad call on second down.
