What are your thoughts on the real quality of this team knowing they’ve played an easy schedule? Thoughts on Kellen Moore? Randall Cobb? Roster decisions going forward? Plenty to touch on.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Let's talk about Tom's game management...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I agree with Tom that going for it on 4th-3 was a good call, not the only good call, but a reasonable call. The play call was ridiculous. On fourth and three you call a play that is designed to get no less than four yards, not another run into the line that may get four or may get none.
Agree with Ketch that Gundy seriously underestimated our run defense. How, after watching the dbs struggle against LSU, do you not air it out, with some runs thrown in to keep the defense honest ?
Tom is too stubborn in his play selection. He keeps insisting that plays should work after they have been shown to not work. He doesn't just want to do it, he wants to do it his way. Eight plays Inside the five and no points against LSU, four Sam carries from the one against Georgia in order to just barely get the ball to the goal line, should have been learning experiences. Hope they were. Doubt it.

It's an incredibly talented team.
Moore and Cobb have been great. Not sure what roster decisions for 2019 are still in play.
No human being digs in more when they are questioned more than Tom. He must wear cement shoes.
Tom was very open about going for it was the right call but that the play call was bad. He said we had a lot of success with that play, even in this game. He said he went to the well one time too many.
When something is working, its hard not to want to keep using it. Okie Lite guessed right and sold out to stop it.
