It was a horrible call. The defense was more likely to get a stop than us recovering the onside. Even if they recovered and get a 3 and out, they would pin us back behind the 20 on a punt with about 2:30-2:40 to play. At that point, you're asking Rosier to run the 2 minute offense with their defense selling on the pass? Not happening, considering he was still only a shade above 50% completion for the game, most yards/completions came from dumps and flats. Consider that on the previous drive, Rosier needed 11 plays and 4:38 of the clock to flip the field and then rely on a broken play to score a touchdown. Grateful for the kid being a team player even when he was benched. But let's be real here, Rosier does not generate a good offense and his ceiling is only a few inches above the floor.
Richt got outcoached by Mendenhall, who wasn't even trying.. UVa was held to 231 yards of offense at home, coughed up 3 TOs, with a QB who had a QBR below 10....and we still lost.
I really thought Richt was just sending a message to Perry and put him in the game later. It turned out to just be wishful thinking. At this point in the season, with the CFP way out of reach and being possibly out of the conversation for a New Year's 6, we gotta go with one of the younger QB's and start looking for development beyond this season. This is not the time for Rosier's "going out party," which is probably equivalent to Friday night Bingo.
Year 3 and we don't even have an offensive identity. Spin however you want to spin. That's a **** poor job on Richt's part.
