We didn't kick the FG, and Kamara just faded out of bounds two yards short, because both he and Jones mistakenly believed that it was only 3rd down, and not 4th. TIFWIW.
You can tell by Kamara's reaction that he realized he had ****ed up as soon as he ran out of bounds. As for Butch, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought we were on defense.
Because the [dadgum] coaches were too stupid to have situational awareness. By not kicking, you give yourself 0% chance to win. This season solidifed that the coaches definitely are not championship calibur. And hell f'n no, champions of life does not count for a damn thing. I am f'n tired of us looking like damn Indiana football.
He had several coaches call him and tell him he did the right thing. One of them was even Derek Mason!
Saban, Muschamp, Smart and McElwain all thought it was a great call, just poor execution by the players.
Butch Jones is a bad football coach, but this is silly. It's not like 4th and 4 is some Herculean task--or even much more difficult than the two-point conversion that your force yourself to make merely to reach overtime if you kick the field goal.
I disagree. You need 2 scores, not 2 TDs. With the time that was left in the game, being in FG range on 4th and 4, you take the 3 points and give yourself an opportunity to get the onside kick and know what you have to have to tie. Given our track record on 3rd downs all season, throwing behind the line to gain is not a favorable percentage of success on 4th down.
Even if you don't get the onside you still have three time outs to get the ball back. It was handled pretty poorly.
I didn't watch that garbage game, but this sounds like pretty standard, pretty accurate football wisdom to me. Unless you think it's 3rd down.
I just can't believe that there wasn't 1 person on the offense that didn't realize it was 4th down and say, "hey guys, it's 4th down!"
