2020 Peach Bowl - #8 Cincinnati vs. #9 Georgia @ Atlanta - 11am ESPN

[Atticus 3923]

LT destroyed their offensive momentum. Ridder should have never thrown that deep ball late. Cincy deserved to lose this game.

[Brothahorn 10085]

Because it applies here.

 

[Surly Bevo 24697]

That 3rd and 2 play call/design was all time retard in that situation.  You just roll and flood like that with no misdirection and a clear direction to QB to just get the first with a safe throw or run you deserve to lose.

[Francisco 2.0 32346]

I couldn't care less about this game, but to see abject stupidity on the part of a coaching staff in that situation...just baffles me.

That was junior high...no, volunteer pee-wee level coaching that last 2 minutes. Fickell needs crucified over this.

SEc barely beats the TxTech of Ohio!!!  Whoooop.

Cincy wins if they dont go full retard and call that last TO. 

That was on the db for faking an injury

[Huckleberry 32707]

Yep, coaching blew that at the end. 

And the Georgia celebration puts the lie to all the "didn't want to be there" bullshit. Those exact same players and coaches who were running around like maniacs after winning would have claimed they didn't want to be there if that kick missed. 

[Pato del Muerto 52347]

How fucking stupid is Kirby smart that he needs a guy yanking on his belt loop to keep him on the sideline and off the field?  All damn game long.  And he falls ass backwards into a win. 

[TrashMaster G 17393]

So, I guess Cincy was too disappointed at being left out of the Playoff and didn't want to be there.

Cincy didn’t deserve to win that game at all. Should put a damper on all the “Fickell is a great coach” talk. Utter implosion in the 2nd half.

[Mdhorn 5912]

That was a full meltdown at the end.  No poise, difficulty staying onside, turnover, throwing and catching, special teams, everything just went to shit.  Hate to see a team that wanted to show everybody they were worthy lose a game they lead all the way up to the final 2 seconds.  But, they had their shot and they shat all over it. 

[coachherman'sgrill 1982]

With all the technology, head sets, GAs, assistant to the regional managers, how do these idiots not talk to each other about what plays to run in these situations with their laminated play sheets?
How do they not sit on the clock? Its got to be part of the signaling right? And why not talk to each other and say we have to run on Cincy's last 3rd down?

[ClubWhatever 12087]

Fickell will say he doesn’t regret the call.  We came to win.  It was there we just missed it.  He will not say what he should, that it was stupid and cost his team the game.

[immamac 42538]

That last playcall on 3rd and 2 was so bad. Even if the receiver caught it, it was a shit ass playcall. 

[Beantown Express 2.0 6555]

So we are going to hire Fickell right?  He would fit in with playing not to win and blowing winnable games.  What a loser that guy just showed himself to be.  I feel bad for the players that lose a game because the coaching screws them over.

Their center thought it prudent to target someone out of bounds after the play was over earlier.  Dumbshit helped with this.  His player was down in front of him before he decided to head hunt.  

we had a center like that

Amen. If you're not going to run between the tackles, then something like Steelers Roll Left seems like it would be a pretty fucking good call there.

Left tackle and it was a huge play. Probably lost the game. The replacement screwed up the entire second half.

Really expected CINCY to run on 3rd down, and if short maybe go for the WIN on 4th down -- at least try to draw Jawja off sides, then if they had to punt there would have been a lot less time left...

Haha. Other than that they played a good game. Ridder isn't big time. Fickell might not be big time. Not sure he's worth a 25m buyout. I do think he will stick somewhere or maybe just set up shop at Cincy and roll the dice on the CFP expanding.

[BB65 476]

How do you get a job as the get back coach?

[Brothahorn 10085]

After that shitty 3rd down play call. They might as well went for it on 4th down. It would have at least burned more time off the clock.

Cincy should have ran the ball on that 3rd down instead of attempting a pass. Stupid 

That receiver was wide open. QB was late and tried to make sure he did not over throw. Clutch throw would have won the game. They were not going to run it it for a first down. I don't know how to feel. Fickell made a couple of ballsy calls that did not payoff. Reminds me of last year during CFP games when all the coaches commenting on what should be called were conservative and actual calls were ballsy. That is why those guys were in CFP and the conservative coaches were sitting there commenting.

He'll jump as soon as top 30 type power 5 program comes calling.

Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. He’s a good HC and will be fine. Just not someone I would want for us at this point

So let me get this straight. UGA didn't want to be there until they won....???

Fake hand off and roll out to the wide side with a run pass option might have been a better play

I saw a few Ohio State games in 2011. This was reminiscent thereof. He's a good coach, but also a complete dumbshit. I honestly wish he could end up at A&M. I think the frustration he would cause them would be epically entertaining.

Not sure? Literally doing any of the following things would have won the game for Cincy:

1. Letting the play clock run down, instead of snapping it with 10+ seconds each time
2. Calling a run on third down
3. Not having multiple defenders fake an injury for no apparent reason
4. Not playing prevent defense and allow UGA to pick up chunks of easy yards, when Cincy was doing well playing straight up

And the timeout before the punt didn't help either.  Having a timeout in their pocket would have given them a chance to ice the kicker, instead of letting him run out there, knowing Cincy couldn't call one.  This is literally the same kind of crap we hate Herman for, or even worse.

Only about 5 seconds if they don’t get it. Clock stops on change of possession. 

[ClubWhatever 12087]

It should also be said that Kirbys decision to punt with 3:30 left and two timeouts (after a blowing a TO to pin) should have cost him the game.  With competent coaching on the other side.

Yep. If you are going to call that at least go to the field side, so you have more options. But coaches love to run stuff like that to the short side because everyone expects it to be opposite.

... and the DB who broke it up should get a ton of credit for coming off another receiver to make that play.

It wasn’t the play as much as poor Cincy execution and good UGA reaction to it.

Being out-coached by Kirby Smart should be a disqualifier for the Texas job.

It was a terrible play. A first down run ices it. Even not getting a first down virtually ices it, with the amount of time that would run off the clock. An infinite number of things can go wrong with a pass.  If there was 3+ minutes left, it would have been an acceptable call, but with a little over a minute left, you just bleed the clock away.
