Have any of you that attended last Saturday's FSU game went back and re-watched the broadcast? Did any of you who initially watched on TV pay attention to Color Analyst Anthony Becht and/or watch the Petrino-Pass sideline conversation immediately following the alleged "worst play call in UofL history?"
I was at game, immediately erupted myself on the fact we passed it there, and finally re-watched game late last night. Here's what I find interesting....
1) Westbrook, the FSU defender who jumped the route for the INT, was quoted in a post-game interview as saying he saw Pass communicating to Crum prior to the snap, and knew he was going to pass it to him.
2) Watching the play on my DVR, just before the snap of that fateful play call, when Pass was going through his cadence, Crum raised up, turned and looked right at Pass, who was obviously looking right at him.
3) Petrino, afterward, when referring to "his bad play call," talked about how that is a common call when FSU was blitzing and they knew they were going to blitz there, and how it was called several times that day.....but most interesting...
4) If you can read lips, when Pass returned to the sideline and BP got in his face, he said "how can you make that throw?" Ironically, analyst Becht was raving about BP's play-calling abilities after the previous play, and, like all of us, initially sounded perplexed at the play call. He then repeated what BP said to Pass on the sidelines, as if he clearly read his lips, and wondered if Pass actually made the call. The thought quickly left as they began talking about other things and the new situation at hand with FSU having new life.
Do you think Pass audibled into that play, and BP stood up for his young QB?
If he did, does that alter your opinion of BP's performance Saturday? I actually thought he called a brilliant game, for not that one play.
Have you noticed how much BP has went out of his way to compliment the positive play of Pass this year, while trying not to emphasize the negative? He was very complimentary of his play, despite the wildly inaccurate misses on those potential TDs that could have turned this game into a blowout.
I was beside myself on that call Saturday. I now have serious reason to believe he didn't make it, although he said he did. I think there is a very good chance Pass was just doing what he was taught (called a quick pass play to combat a blitz from a formation he recognized), but failed to appreciate the time circumstance of the moment, and his Coach, knowing the fragile-ness of his young QB, and understanding the status of our fanbase (joint was half-full), had his back.
I have no way of knowing the truth. But why would Westbrook say what he said, and why else would BP say that to Pass on the sidelines?
If you have the game on DVR, you might want to check that out. I found that very interesting.
