You think the crowd would be out of it down seven in the third?
CLUELESS
READ THE POST. I was implying it would be better for Lee to throw a pick 6 and be down 7 after 30 seconds in the 1st qtr, than be down 7 with only 3 minutes left in the first qtr implying we go on a 16 play 83 yard drive to start the game, and yes the crowd would be out of it.

You're right, I'm clueless. I thought you said third quarter not first. My bad.

But I don't necessarily agree though. Sure it would take the life out of the crowd if you drove down and scored on a long drive on the first possession but a pick six like the UGA game would cause the fanbase to lose their mind and be against the quarterback. So I think that wuold be worse for the entire game.

We should still defer. Our adjustments at halftime are simply better than Bama's.

The correct answer is defer to the second half.
Our defense has played worse than our offense this year, not sure that is advisable. We can't afford to get behind in this game.

The correct answer is go on Offense but DON'T THROW THE FREAKIN' BALL at all in the first series. Miles and Crowton, can you hear me, do you understand this?
