What happened on these 2 drives was so ridiculous that it deserves its own thread.
Coming off the Ivey interception, down 14-3 to our biggest rival, Gattis sends out Jacurri to start a drive from his own 2 yard line. Even though, at this point, TVD isn't thought to be too injured to play.
Why in the fck would you pull your starter in such a pressure situation?
First play of the drive, Gattis calls a Lucious Stanley run.
Not even a run with his starting RB Parrish, or the two RB apparently in Gattis doghouse, Thad and Rooster. Gattis called a run for walk-on RB Lucious Stanley, from his own 2 yard line.
Brown hadn't attempted a pass so far and FSU was sitting on the run. Stanley gained 3 yards.
On second down, Gattis had so much faith in Jacurri that he pulled him so TVD could attempt a pass. TVD clearly isn't right. Pass incomplete.
Gattis then sends Jacurri back in on 3rd down for a, you guessed it, QB RUN with Jacurri.
FSU was sitting on the run.. again.. but Jacurri still managed 5 yards.
EVERYONE in the building now knows Jacurri = run.
DEJA VU TIME
Now we're down 21-3 to our biggest rival. Once again Gattis sends out Jacurri to start a drive from our own 2 yard line, along with Lucious Stanley. At this point, TVD is too injured to play.
First play of the drive, Gattis calls ANOTHER Lucious Stanley run.
Not a run with his starting RB. Gattis called another run for walk-on RB Lucious Stanley from his own 2 yard line.
Brown still hadn't attempted a pass. FSU was once again sitting on the run. Stanley gained 2 yards.
Second down Gattis leaves Jacurri in for.. you guessed it, a QB run.
This time it only went for 3 yards because even the announcers have started calling the plays predictable.
3rd & 5, Gattis pulls Jacurri so Jake can attempt a pass. With the running QB out of the game, FSU is sitting on the pass. Which gets intercepted.
Gattis had enough faith in Jacurri to send him out him to start 2 drives from his own 2.. twice.. but not enough faith in him to pass on 3rd down?
Fwiw, Jacurri's first pass attempt went for 15 yards.
These were 2 of the worst "drives" I've ever seen.
On the first drive, Gattis put a true freshman in the worst position possible. It wasn't a show of faith seeing as how Jacurri was pulled BOTH times Gattis wanted to attempt a pass.
EVERYONE knew what they were gonna do because it was obvious Jacurri wasn't going to pass. And because of this, his runs had no chance to go anywhere. That's the clearest example of setting someone up to fail in recent memory.
Gattis using Stanley in that situation was criminal.
I don't hate the guy and I understand depth is an issue. Clearly Gattis has issues with Thad and Rooster. But even if that's the case, Gattis still called run plays from the 2 yard line, ON TWO SEPARATE DRIVES, with a walk-on over his starting RB.
And this arrogant ***** *** mf'er has the nerve to scream at players and tell them they're the worst team ever??
This is some crazy ****.
I'm firmly in the camp that believes Ponce needs to go at the end of the season. But at this point, I'm with everyone else. Ponce needs to takeover play calling duties because Gattis needs to TODAY.
