I think this is right... and smart (no pun intended) by CKS/Bobo, if actually true.

I continue to be confused by CR's low rating of the TE's in reviews like this. Did they do a poor job? I didn't see any big misses, catching or blocking. In fact, the few times they were used, I thought they did well.

IMHO, their low usage was on the coaching and/or QB, therefore, the players themselves shouldn't be downgraded with a rating that should be reflected elsewhere... which brings up a topic many of you have suggested in the past: why don't these "grades" include Coaching as a category (or maybe even categories, given how variable our performance seems to be across the various coaches)?

Agree Venom. I’m thinking a C for the secondary is pretty generous as well. I’ve asked this earlier but is it time to start looking for a different secondary coach? Go Dawgs!

NOT excusing the INT just saying, the ball was tipped a tiny bit at the LOS or it sure appeared that way. Hit Noah on the tip of his fingers. To me that’s one of those “ it was gonna happen anyway “ type INTs. It wasn’t a bone headed INT. There were at least two though that could have easily been picked off. Not one of Gunner’s better days.

If Gunner had went in and scored he’d have faced the wrath of Kirby !! While I understand the Why, ESPN Oops the Playoff Committee might not be as charitable. ALL they see firstly is Wins and Losses, Secondly they look at points scored or Not scored. So they probably won’t even Try to understand Kirby’s logic.

They will probably say when points are available you Take them. Course we know how beloved the Dawgs are by the rest of CFB anyway. Yes that was sarcasm. Go Dawgs !!

They are discounting that Stockton took a knee rather than scoring so, in their scenario, we still win.

Connor, when you review the game, you’ll see that Stockton’s interception was tipped at the line causing the ball to go more behind Thomas to bounce off his hands. The announcers even missed that.
Once again, the PI on Branch was a terribly bad bogus call, as was Gunner’s clap. It’s obvious that the zebras are trying to get back at Kirby for the TO issue vs auburn.

C+ for the Offensive line is charitable. I didn't feel they blocked well at all. Gunner had very little time to find an open receiver and outside of the 4th quarter, they didn't block well for the running backs. They were constantly getting outplayed by Florida's defensive line.

After re-watch of this play...I would have to say first, the receiver was Not a defenseless player…his motions, to "duck and cover", is a football move and show his action as protection of his reception and attempt to advance the play...KJ appeared to attack the ball to break up the play or dislodge the ball....a bang, bang action for sure....but not a true targeting…this is tackle football and more often than not, this was a no call to me. If officials are looking for helmet placement or contact....then targeting can be called on practically every series .... we can come up with something better for type of call
