The 2&10 draw play to Yearby with 55 sec left in the fourth.

[DiegoCane]

We need serious work on our late game offense. The plays take way too long to come in.

That said, I like the call. Looking at the screen shot, looks like it's an easy first down at a minimum. Wish Dukes body didn't break down at the end, 30 hard fought touches sometimes does that.

if its not ur main runner, do not run that in that situation...wasted ****ing play

Other side of that coin is that they are more likely to look for the draw if Duke is in there, just simply have to respect our best player in the backfield. That call was called and set up beautifully except for one crucial 3/4 block..or great play..however you want to look at it...

Criticizing in Hindsight is easy, but if that shoestring isn't grabbed, Coley is being exalted for making such a gutsy call with a freshman scat back. Just sayin..

UM

I thought it was a great call, especially since we had 3 timeouts. Unfortunately, #73 could not block hiss man, and Yearby was tackled by his legs. I think Yearby has to get stronger and break that tackle. Also, if you take a look at this pic, I think this has potential for a really big gain, the blocking was set up perfectly.

Isn't this the same play that duke scored on NC?

 

[RohanMotor]

It was (potentially) the call of the game. Perfect if Duke was in. Duke gets through the line much faster. Could've been ballgame.

Also, did you check out the PLAY after??? I could make a thread on this but Kaaya was going DEEP to coley on a deep post, I beliee COley had a step on the safety, he was 1on 1 with him, but Ramsey came on a blitz and tipped it. Yearby was also wide open on a nice move he made on the LB no one around him.

Yeah, I saw that. I posted it in another thread. I didn't know who it was deep, thought it was Dorsett, but I couldn't tell...

 

[RohanMotor]

I just get a bit annoyed when people try to compare Yearby to Duke as a freshman. It's not close. Yearby not in the same ballpark.

Yup, remember when Duke took it to the house after almost getting tripped up in BC game his greasy an year...

 

[HarryCarayisGoat]

Difference between Yearby and Cook is that play.

 

[terdferguson]

You know what I see? Them making plays at the end of the game and us not. The fsu dl made a nice tackle on the draw. On their draw to cook we miss the tackle. On the long ball to Coley they hit Kaaya's arm, they stepped up and made plays. We're trying to beat the champs, you can't just hope they ***** up. Someone has to step up, make a play and seize the game.

Frosh qb rb ol... Its normal

 

[gfer1988]

hated the call. can't afford to be tackled before the first down maker and lose precious time. if you remember, the same play was called by Louisville when they played FSU and was the nail in the coffin. a play action would of been preferred there

 

[Gatorhater]

Really liked that call, too. Probably would have made the same or a similar call (like a chip and release to the flats) if I were in that situation with the timeouts. Like the call less with Yearby than with Duke, obviously, but when I saw Feliciano free release, I thought Yearby was going for 15+.

Amen, Lu. Lot of blocking in front of him at that moment. Dorsett was drawing a bead on #8. Our center and guard were ready to lay out two more and fullback ready for escort duty downfield. Would have been great moment for Joe but you're right Duke might have ripped through that tackle and gone the distance.

The bigger problem was the clock management on that drive. We wasted a ton of time getting plays in. Then when Yearby was tackled it put us in a really bad spot.

Not really. Use a TO to stop clock still had 2 TOs left. You can't give that FSU offense much time

 

[weownfsu]

A microcosm of how much Golden's recruiting failures have ****ed us. We could have had Dalvin Cook or Alex Collins running that play, instead we had Yearby--who isn't ready for primetime yet.

Agreed.

Exactly. Kaaya had no idea what he was doing. He's not thinking about giving Florida State less time to counter. He's just being Brad Kaaya wandering around looking at the sideline while the clock goes tick, tick, tick. For the bulk of the game it's no problem. It was killing us on that drive. I know percentages based on situation. Our opportunity was dripping 2 or 3% at a chunk given all the time he was wasting.

Keep in mind we were barely beyond midfield when he threw the interception. It took 2:20 out of the 3:05 we had merely to advance from our 25 to the Florida State 43. If Kaaya makes a completion for a first down to let's say the 30 he's still going to be Brad Kaaya and waste time on the subsequent snap. We needed 8 time outs the way that drive was unfolding. That's why I was telling the guy next to me that unless we got a fluke big play touchdown it simply wasn't going to happen.

The draw play was a weak call. I'm not going to say it's a terrible call but it's a low percentage call. I wasn't thrilled with it. I have to laugh at all the posts proclaiming that it barely missed a long gain or a touchdown. That's what a talented opponent will do to you in that situation. Florida State was a favorite to have an athlete good enough to make a seemingly unlikely play. We erred by making a play call designed to work against a mediocrity when we weren't playing a mediocrity. The only poster in this thread who had a grasp of the situation was the guy who said Florida State made plays in the second half while we didn't. Exactly, and it's based on talent level. Their guys are simply a cut above ours right now.

I warned about that type of play call after the North Carolina game. Somehow everybody loved the 3rd down screen pass to Duke over the middle that waltzed for an easy touchdown. I posted that I hated the call because of what it could mean down the road. If a coordinator doesn't grasp situational variance from opponent to opponent he's going to call those flimsy plays against the wrong team at the wrong time, and pay for it. That's why it's always best for 3rd down screens to fail, no matter who you are playing.

Get all those garbage calls out of your system. If we were playing North Carolina that draw to Yearby would have rambled downfield. Wonderful. The screen pass to McGahee on 3rd and 10 in the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State was similar stupidity. I screamed as soon as the play unfolded. The Buckeyes with all that aggressive NFL talent on defense had wiped out those plays all season.

For someone who claims to be so smart, this post was clueless.

I think its funny that you think Kaaya is the one who controls the speed at which the offense runs. Perhaps you haven't watched our team the whole year.

I agree with that other than play action. The play action wasn't accomplishing anything on that drive. Everybody denounces Georgia Tech's offense as high school. Meanwhile, play action as the clock runs down in the 4th quarter is pure high school. I saw it at the last three high school games I attended recently.

You mean the screen pass? Uh, different play. Similar blocking.

Kaaya was under center on the 90 yarder. No misdirection on that one.

Not the 90 yarder, it was like 30+yarder. But, your right! It was a screen pass, not a hand off.
