I asked myself the same question. The answer I supposed is that fair catching the kick gave us time for two plays. The hope must have been for 20-30 yards and ob on the 1st play. Then a desperation pass to the endzone. Trying for the run back was highly likely to use all seven seconds.
It will be interesting if the that question is asked of CGC. I think our best chance for a win last night was to let Gibbs catch the ball and take it to the house. I think it is a low percentage bet, but better than any of the other options.
I agree. Every option was an extremely low percentage bet. But, that is a scenario where all plans are thrown out and you hope for a miracle.
Thanks for sharing the link, @slugboy . Pro tip for "newspaper" websites that are paywalled: sometimes posts can be accessed by opening them in a Chrome Incognito Browser window, a Safari or Firefox Private Browser window, or an MS Edge InPrivate browser window. It doesn't always work but this one did when I used the Incognito browser window in Chrome. Many of these sites will give you several "free" article links before paywalling you and many of them rely on cookies for that info and a private/incognito/inprivate browser acts like the first time you've ever hit that site.
I'd call it 3 mistakes. 1) The delay of game. 2) Operating out of the SG. 3) Not having the QB take a direct snap and run a sneak. Handing the ball off there is moronic.
Not one of Dabo’s finest moments. After stopping us on the 1, his mind took a hike. Mine too, actually. I turned the game off with 15 seconds left and awoke this morning to a 14-8 score instead of the 14-6 score that I left. I didn’t see the safety until I rewatched the game this afternoon.
The way we started the season, plus the hot mess called Falcons, I thought I was going to have to enjoy my new camper as an escape this fall. GT may have upset those plans.
I found something weird when I looked up the definition of 'sociopath'. It was a picture of you. Weird, right? Or maybe not.
I'd go to campsites with a cable tv plug. Watch the game, then enjoy nature.
If we are going to defer to the opinions of people who actually coach and/or understand the game and/or played the game above the HS level, then that undermines the purpose of internet message boards imo. If we can't let raw emotion or opinions rule the day then that takes all the fun out of it.

I mean yeah, if we could get it. But that's not really how averages work. Averaging 2.5 ypc throughout the entire game does not equal getting 2.5 yards against Clemson's goal line D.
Correction, two plays against the “greatest defense in all of college football.”
Say what you want - our best player group is the RB's - we did not attempt to use them in the correct way. If we had lined up behind center (first time all game), and hit them fast and hard, I believe we score with Jordan, but we can agree to disagree. Those first 2 plays were just overthinking ourselves, IN MY OPINION.
