@osmosiphobe Lane Kiffin was asked a question by the media. What was he supposed to do? Not answer it? Also, there is a huge difference between the Lane Kiffin of 20 years ago - when he was living off his Hall of Fame coach father's reputation - and today when he is clearly the best coast that Ole Miss has had since integration and the best that FAU has had in the history of that program. Even as recently as 2014 when he cost Bama the national title game by choosing to keep throwing the ball instead of handing off to any of his 3 future starting NFL tailbacks - boy Bama used to be loaded back then - I thought he was overrated. Not anymore!
No problem with Cash Jones getting the ball, it's not like he hasn't made big plays before. Hurry up has worked before.
The issue was the missed block, if there was just a slight bump or a chip for the defender coming in untouched, Cash walks in. 2nd guessing is always in vogue when plays don't work - you're just piling on and repeating what the rest of the "peanut gallery" is saying. Even Phillips may have scored if it's executed if you are inferring a bigger back should have taken the ball. The hurry up has worked before this year and last, didn't hear anyone complaining then. All plays & calls do not work…and wins and losses do not come down to one play.
Lucky to have Cash imo, I'd welcome him into my foxhole any day:

I'm nearly two weeks late with this, but I just read it and wanted to have my comment "on the record," if only for my peace of mind. This is sooooo true. No way was Bowens "gassed," after the quarter timeout and someone else running for him. And since, as Kirby said, he already knew he was going for it on fourth down if Stockton gain any yardage at all (and likely knew he would be going tempo), why didn't he put Bowens back in there instead of Jones for that sequence of plays? That's the part I don't understand. Why was Jones in the game in the first place? I'm going to surmise the reason is because Kirby figured they might actually try a pass one either the third or fourth down play and Jones is (supposedly) the best pass catcher out of all the running backs. If not that, it really doesn't make any sense — not even 10 days later. Go Dawgs!
