    I am confident we will use this often as J.T. Barrett does not have the arm strength of Braxton Miller! :lol:

    Ha yeah, our db's handled this badly. This play was bad but it is not the one I can't stand to watch. :(

    I hear that Kp..... that KR last year is one that will burn in the memory of Bama fans for an eternity I'll bet.

    Auburn has a way of pulling that **** out of their helmets.

    Back in Emmitt Smith's final season at UF the Auburn QB hit a 4th and forever pass in to the endzone to pull out a last second win over UF and steal away the W in spite of the underdog Gators completely outplaying the bastards.

    No bad play from last year can rival the mighty Gator's offensive ineptitude being so finely illustrated as the two UF offensive linemen blocking each other on a futile rushing attempt vs. that defensive juggernaut Georgia Southern. Was that the winner of the ESPY's Most Embarassing Sports Moment? If it wasn't I don't know how it missed.
    :oops:

    Decatur ran 4 of those last night and missed on each one, but good Lord was the WR wide open on the play.

    :idea:

    It's harder than it looks. The QB rolls right to the line, but then must adjust and throw across his body. The idea is to run/pass option the CB. This play requires two things:

    1. An athletic QB
    2. A really stupid cornerback

    You describe the WR for Decatur as being "wide open" on four of these pop passes. If I were the head coach, I would have run it at least four more times, or until they substituted in a smarter CB...
