OK. What about the rest of the game? All Bo's fault?

Here's my analysis of the end of the game:

Freeze Fu*ked up on the previous play (delay of game) and needed Bo to save his ass by picking up a few more yards to get a higher percentage FG! Then Freeze threw Bo under the bus!

Bo made a horrible decision...... Then freeze threw him under the bus.. It's troubling that Bo read man in that situation.

Of course it was a horrible decision. Bo was put into a high pressure situation that his coaches didn't have him prepared for. Bo should not have been in that situation when his coaches knew he wasn't emotionally prepared. Moments before he was pointing to the crowd and obviously distracted. A FG would have gone a long way towards getting him settled for OT.

I disagree... This is a senior QB that has been there before.. He has played in huge environments.. There comes a time when being "emotionally prepared" falls on the player.. Having conversations with the crowd is something I dont expect to have to tell my senior qb in high school, much less a senior qb of a top 5 team.. What is there to gain by mixing it up with a drunk Coon***? I did not like how Freeze called the game, but I cant have it both ways.. He called the game scared, but he pretty much called it how Bo looked.. The delay of game was my biggest gripe about the entire sequence of events though.

If you look at the video of Freeze's reaction to the play, it is obvious that Bo went rogue on the play. The 1st thing you see Freeze do is mouth his disgust to Bo for that decision.

& as far as throwing him under the bus, at some point the adult has to teach the child that their are consequences to their actions. CHF is their "parent" figure & if his kids continue to do dumb things, sooner or later they have to accept blame & be called on it. I have ZERO doubt that Freeze was clear to BO, before the play, to not turn the ball over or do something that may cause a turnover. Bad Bo decided to try to win the game w/ a poor throw. I don't mind Bo's decision to throw to Core but during the execution of that throw Bo thought an under throw was appropriate & the situation dictated an under throw was the unthinkable. He decided that a FG attempt was not a solid backup plan.

I think the delay was a response to trying to decide whether to take the FG or take a shot. I think the shot was our best chance, but that is my opinion. We had not demonstrated an ability to score all night & I personally did not see OT as our friend.

I personally think the entire O was scared of screwing up all night. The D came to play. They were a little late getting there, but they did ALL they needed for us to have an opportunity to win.

you have to make up your mind quicker. If we are going to run a play, leave the offense out there and line up. If we are kicking a field goal, get them out of the field quickly. Indecision costs games. Even if Bo made the wrong decision on that last play, I don't blame him. It isn't a position he should have been put in to start with.

The delay was a result of trying to make the decision to either go ahead and kick or try to pick up a few more yards and move the hash. He was told to either throw it to the flat player or throw it over his head. The kicker didnt favor that hash from that distance. Have to agree to disagree on taking a shot. First, if you were taking a shot, thats not the route you would throw. It's a clearout route, the intended wr is meant to occupy the safety, if the safety plays the flat, thats the only scenario you can let it fly... John Chavis would have been fired if he played man there. The 2nd problem is time. If there is a sack, ballgame.. If a ball is tipped around, for 2 more seconds, ballgame.. If the wr doesnt make it out of bounds, ballgame. 3rd You have to play the odds. What is the odds completing a 30 yard pass in that situation?
The game was called very conservative because we had a lead most of the game and our D is so stingy.. In OT we would have been forced to open it up. Think about it, when the scenario changed we moved it a little. An LSU fan talked about fumbling on the 1. I told him, hindsight, I wish they would have scored. Changes how the game is called and played.. Who knows if any of it would have made a difference..
Either way, we didnt lose the game on the last play. We didnt play well enough offensively to beat anybody.. Think about it 4 turnovers, 7 points... That is gross..

After the interception, Bo left the field before the game was over..... a bad decision on his part...whatever his reason! I am disappointed in the loss...but this was really a show of bad sportsmanship...
Even a bad day as a Rebel is better than a good day with the dawgs!!!!

Bo needs to quit worrying about Eli's passing record. He's a decent college qb but he is no manning

The play was to throw it in the flat, which was open by the way, or throw it out of bounds. Bo went to the endzone to be a hero and didn't folow the reasoning of the coach. Look at the film and see where Freeze says "What was that?" when Bo came off the field. Ball on left hash mark with 2 seconds left on clock to tie the game with a field goal that Wunderlick can kick all day long and he took us out of it completely. He needs to make amends with the team if he is a man and beat Auburn. Cody was covered by the way in the endzone and he under throws the ball. Game.

Remember when LSU beat themselves at Ole Miss 4 or 5 years ago with bad time management at the end of the game. Karma. Although we totally f'd up the end of the game, offense totally messed up the entire time they were on the field except that early drive.
