Since other plays have garnered more attention, I wanted to focus first on this one: Kirk's first big catch of the game. Score is 17-10. We've largely shut down Tam's offense, and Kirk, though Mond's scrambles are becoming effective. Shannon loves zone, so we will definitely slip into zones to prevent huge plays and allow the D to keep eyes on Mond (maybe even spy him), right?
Nope. The "plan" called for us to put a first time starting safety, Jaewon Taylor in press man on the SEC's fastest player. Well, if only he could execute a plan that virtually no one can, but certainly a 3 star career high school safety should be able to do - it's only something he wasn't even asked to do in HS, right?
Here's the screen shots presnap of the brilliant plan:
Then, about 1 second later Kirk had a BIG separation - 40 yd catch (note in just 13 yards, kirk's already got 2-3 yards past our first time starting safety):
Man, if only our players who are put in ideal situations would just execute.
Also, this has been discussed more, but here are the last 4 fourth downs (hint - we kicked to Kirk each time - one touchback), but Mac says that the "Plan" was to kick out of bounds after it back fires and blames the players:
