1) USC getting a signature win that valuated them into the Rose Bowl and their runaway offseason natty
2) Potentially cost us a perfect regular season ... I do think if we would have scored on that possession even if just a FG we end up winning the game
3) Forced us to travel to Atlanta and play Alabama in the National Semifinals versus going to Phoenix and playing Clemson ... a team we matched up about 500x better than Alabama
Browning int in the Peach Bowl
Fire Dancer not recovering that fumble in the Peach Bowl
You can argue whatever you want afterwards like losing Mathis/Azeem but injuries happen to every team. There were some plays in the USC game I would have liked back (that damn reverse as if we score on that drive we would have blown out USC).
The miss in the read by Browning was that he got his eyes fixated on the immediate rush in front of him versus keeping his eyes down the field ...
The other side of the blitz that stood out to me is that one thing you see in the NFL with zone blitzes and whatnot is that there's a lot of disguise in coverage and what you see isn't what you get ... it's like reading a mirage. The swing to the other side was the play that was open given the coverage ... but credit to Alabama knowing that QBs are often taught to throw into the hole vacated by the blitz and they covered it up tremendously. Go watch right before the snap #1 for Alabama starts running to cover the RB swing to the other side of the field in man coverage ... that's the weakness in that defensive call. But the only way any QB gets to that point is to be able to process a very complicated blitz call in rapid order.
Fuck, Jake - look to the left.
