Auburn has Florida's number
It was awesome watching Urban pull the cheap "call timeout right before the snap on a good field goal" move and then have the kicker nail the second attempt to win it for Auburn.
Impressive to go into the Swamp and beat the defending national champions. |

Clever. Urban is a competitor. Never seen that done before.
But if Bronco tries it, it's just a new door approach, right?

The Broncos did it to the Raiders...and the Raiders missed the second field goal (made the first one). The Raiders turned around and did it right back to Cleveland the following week. (Same result, first one in, second one out)

Yeah, I don't know exactly what is cheap about the move if it is legal...but I think you'll see a lot more coaches start using it.

Urban is a very effective coach, knows football and will win a lot of games, but he's ruthless and classless. So I wish an eternal pox upon him and his house. It won't matter as he's likely to win many more national championships. I wish it were so, but sometimes evil prevails.
I hope LSU kicks his ass, but I'm not holding my breath as the defense of LSU is suspect and Crowton has never been able to engineer a power running game, as needed in the SEC. Nonetheless it would be nice to see Crowton beat Florida if only by a field goal.

There's just something inherently wrong about having the winning field goal taken away for a reason other than your team screwed up. The opposing team should only be able to call the timeout up until the offense is set.

It didn't work, but there isn't anything wrong with what Meyer did. It was within the rules of the game and within the unwritten rules of fair play.

Just my (and apparently a few others') opinion. Feel free to defend Urban, I know he gave you the best two years of your life as a Ute fan.
