[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 137602, member: 2175"] Thought for a bit my memory was gone, but I just replayed it. There was no way to "easily" run the clock since it was 3rd and 12 at about the 18 when Thomas lost the ball, and it would have been 4th and 25 from the 31 -- because Thomas was going down -- had he just gone down. I assume Georgia would have used its last timeout right there. A field goal maybe to get the lead to a TD, but with 2:41 left the FG would have been in the 48-yard range. Give the kid bunches of credit for drilling a 53-yarder, but Butker has not inspired buckets of confidence from that range in two years. His longest was what, 49? With one FG blocked already it would have put GT in a very difficult decision. I don't have a clue what Johnson may have told him at that Georgia timeout at 2:52, never met him personally, but his reputation from my sense is that of a very thorough game coach. I would just guess Thomas, and the team, was cautioned, but sometimes the adrenalin is gangbusters out there. I stand to be corrected but to my knowledge Johnson has never kneecapped a player we may never know what if anything he may have said at that timeout. If I hazarded a guess, it would be he went over a range of eventualities from scramble to INT to fumble. Thomas just messed up with the best of intentions. Can't argue he should have thrown it into the tuba section, but as we learned with MSU, that can fail, too. [/QUOTE]
