re: Coach O needs a new spotter bad

Last drive of the game was botched as well with the indecisiveness to kick a FG or go for it on fourth down. Led to a delay of game forcing us to punt.

If they come back to tie that game, the focus would be on that sequence today and Coach O would be under fire.

We weren't kicking a FG in that situation. O wanted Burrow to get to the line and try to draw the defense offsides. If that happens, we run out the clock. If not, we take the delay of game and still punt.

I was surprised Burrow didn't act more like he scored. He appeared to be the one pushing for next play

This tells me he thought he was short. Usually you can judge by a player’s reaction on what happened on a play because they know more than anyone.

Maybe the "spotter" lacked the time being they hurried to the line to run another play faster than superman. One of the players should see those things and tell the coaches they need a review.

The players??

You don't rely on players to make an assessment of whether they made a play or got the distance necessary.

There's someone that should be monitoring these situations in the booth and whoever this guy is has failed the team on multiple occasions now.

So correct me if I am wrong, which I am more than sure some of you would love to do.lol

But, on the muffed punt, it looked like a catch, no bobble, etc. Ball hit ground, thus looked like a possible fumble as the catch and ball hitting ground were so close together. I thought the ground could not technically cause a fumble in college football if down or completed catch. Bombs away.

l, no it's not. The HC is dependent on someone in the press box to tell him. It's virtually impossible to see those kind of plays at ground level unless it happens right in front of them.

They need to take a look at their process

None of what you said suggests that it isn't really easy for coaches to have access to the information to make that call. Anyone watching on TV could see in real time it was a bad spot. So if we don't have a system where that information iss efficiently relayed to the coach, we are fricking up a very simple and routine aspect of modern coaching.

Yes, it's easy to make calls on challenges like the Burrow reach.

UCF defense was gassed and all you need is less than a yard. get the first down and the game is over. You'd think he'd learn his lesson after the bowl game last year.

It's ridiculous that the replay officials didn't review that play. I understand the coaches not wanting to use a challenge since they were thinking it was highly probably we'd score with 2 chances from the 1.

But there was plenty of time for the replay officials to stop play. They had until the next snap of the ball. So, they had the time from the initial spot, the time it took the officials to set the ball at the 1, the time it took us to get lined up, the time it took the officials to call the false start and move the ball back, the time it took for us to get lined up again and snap the ball.

After the false start, we should have gone ahead and challenged and I'm not sure why we didn't. Orgeron definitely needs to step up his feel for the challenge rules. I think overall he's really good and managing the game and clock, but he appears to be really weak in the area of when and how to use a challenge.

Can you actually challenge the previous play once the false start occurs? I assumed that the challenge would have had to occur prior to the false start.

Thank u. For your feedback, much appreciated .:(

I guess he needs to have someone watching the game on tv... because the announcers usually call it.. they seem to have a better tv picture than anyone else
