We Haven't Ever Had A 'Spurrier' Play Call......

[Baseball25]

......like, "Wow! Did you see how Spurrier dialed up that one play he had just for us to win the game?" He always attacked us and it paid off for him. Us? We play conservative when the game is in our hands and lose the edge and the game. Always - doesn't matter whom the coach is it seems. We stop doing what put us ahead and get afraid we're going to lose and play that way. You would think coaches would learn.

You’re saying this like it’s a frequent occurrence. How often has this really happened under Heup?

It was frequent against us when both Florida and Tenn was battling for the top. Steve rolled the dice. We play our cards close to the chest when we shouldn't.

Luckily it hasn't bitten us too often--but Oklahoma last year and Florida in 2022 come to mind (EDIT: didn't lose so I guess I'm wrong here, but we definitely took the foot off of the gas and made it closer than it should've been) . Finally caught up to us today. Heup is the man for the job and I wouldn't trade him but there were a few things that I wish we would've done differently.

-Go for it on 4th and 2 at midfield
-Be more aggressive when we recovered the Stockton fumble in Georgia territory
-Try to move the ball more at the end of regulation with three timeouts to make the kick easier for Gilbert. In that situation with a high stress kick I want it to be as easy as possible for my kicker and Georgia's defense was reeling. No reason to settle for a 30+ yarder. Just my take though.

The Hyatt out of the backfield against Missouri in 22 is the closest I can think of.
