it should have been called off when they saw Auburn in punt safe but even still it almost worked.

Good spot, bad execution.

I expect a better pass from a former pitcher. That shite was terrible.

It was a good spot for a fake but I don’t like having your punter throw a shotput. Either snap it to the upback or go for it straight up.

We won the game though so nbd

I hope they do it again, and ask the punter not to look like such a spaz when he's throwing it.

but it was wide open... would you be saying this if foster kept running? you'd probably be saying "what a great call"

I liked the call. We were inside Auburn territory and our defense is legit, so if we fail, it's ok. What I didn't like was throwing the ball in the middle of the field. Should've sent Moreau out on more of a corner route.

But I liked the call.

Bull shite, it just needed to be orchestrated better. Had it worked, everyone would have thought it was brilliant.

Had it been successful, we probably would have gotten at least 3 points out of that drive and AU wouldn't have gotten their TD?

No problem with that call. Had it worked you'd be singing a different tune. And it almost did.

Why not? Auburn even played fake safe and Moreau was still open.

Absolutely dont mind the play call. Adrenaline got the better part of the punter IMO. Would Foster was open and I think the jump pass part of it was a lapse in execution.

The only real issues I had with playcalling were the QB sneaks.

Didn’t like the call at first. Now I think it was one of the best calls of the game. It sends a message to your team they are willing to do anything to win. It also sends a message to the defense they are trusting them to come up with a stop. The field position was right for the call. For the record, I was against going for 4th down against Miami.

Why, because O thought we could pull it off.

I am all for it, some thing work some things don’t.

I will also say that AU has never seen the punter fake then jump pass. So we are innovative at least

Have no problem with a call trying to make something happen. Good play - poor execution.
