I like a fake punt, in principle. The defense was clearly ready for it there, though.
My sense is that Georgia would have won if it had made that missed field goal. I think the beginning of the end was the morale blow of getting stopped for the TD there, and then losing the field goal too, combined with the corresponding encouragement to Alabama that they could still pull it off.
When Clemson destroys Notre dame it will be obvious the committeee should have picked Georgia instead.
ReplyDeleteA little bad luck, a little bad execution, and Georgia went down in a game they could have won.
And one bad decision: that fake punt on 4th down and 11. I am glad Georgia gave Alabama a tough game, though.
ReplyDelete@ Elise - I was calling that my one "bad execution." If they had started that play when they should have, it was a lock.

Well, Alabama deserves congratulations. Again.
