Hunh.
“The worst thing to do is to put someone in there and they’re not ready and they don’t have success, then you have a confidence issue,” Grantham said. “So I’ve always been a guy that I’d rather play them a week late than a week early from a developmental standpoint to make sure they’re ready, so we’ll continue to do that based on what we see in practice.”
It’s as if he’s excised the 2013 season from his mind.
If only Georgia fans could do the same.
Why did you actually embed the video 😦

Aaron Murray deserved better in that game. Hell, in that whole season.

And yet he STILL was one blown targeting call away from winning it even after the Trigga/JHC/Grantham clusterfuckery.

I think you are confusing 2012 and 2013. Immediately following the 2013 Auburn game, he hurt his leg against Kentucky and didn’t play against Tech or in the Gator Bowl, where another famous Third and Grantham occurred that kept us from winning that game as well…

I think he’s referring to our final offensive series in the 2013 Auburn game. Aaron led the team down the field and we were in striking distance of scoring. He got hit while throwing an incomplete pass to end the game, and the refs easily could’ve called targeting but failed to do so. No telling if it would’ve changed the outcome, but if it had been called I think it would’ve resulted in one final untimed down on top of moving us 15 yards closer to the end zone. Cue the video below up to the 3:04:00 mark if you’re so inclined.

Maybe its just having seen how many cheap shots Aaron took from Auburn in 2010 that numbed me to it (at one point I thought my brother and I were going to have to fight our way out of the upper deck on our way out), but I’ve never thought that could’ve been targeting. It was a(nother) heroic effort to get us down the field and give us a(nother) shot though…

Grantham made a mint on having an all NFL defense in 2011-12.

Why does no one talk about #47 being held AROUND THE NECK on the pass rush? Play should never have allowed to stand.

The worst part of Grantham is not this clip. This clip is terrible but the ball bounces in weird ways and you would assume that the player should know what to do in this situation. The worst part of Grantham is seeing our DBs that year looking over at the sideline in confusion and panic in Game one against Clemson (maybe excusable- first game of the year, good team, hostile crowd) and seeing the same guys making the same confused expressions against Nebraska in game 13. That and the 99 yard TD pass that I saw coming.

I actually noticed Bama’s DBs doing that in the first half. And Florida’s DBs have been doing it since he arrived.

One thing among many that galls me about that play is the Nick Marshall acted like he had thrown some really great pass.

Saw Nick Marshall play in the State Championship in H.S., he acted like a spoiled brat the whole game, getting chased around by a bunch of small, slow, private school kids, but the one thing he could do was chuck it up in the air….
