Whether it cost us the game or not; I was not there for it but I would imagine that botched gadget play fat Brad called in '97 vs the taters with us up 14-6 has to be a strong candidate for #1.
Adding to the worst ever thread: what is the dumbest play call you've ever seen Carolina make
- Thread starter ScWildthing61
- Start date
False start on opening play of the season. Close second- timeout on opening play of the season.
Hands down that ridiculous trick play on the two point conversion try against Citadel.
Any Charlie Strong call once we had the other team in 3rd and 25
Lou's offenses got very painful to watch after Petty.
2 point conversion play to Brandon Shell during 2015 Citadel game. SE is a mouth breathing idiot.
Snapping ball out of shot gun on fourth and one.
The defensive shift that kept leaving the middle of the field open in the 2003 Clemson game.
Opening the Auburn game with 2 straight time outs and still lost yards
Was it the '06 Auburn game where they had the ball the entire third quarter? We never had possession. Insane.
A couple of times we did onside kicks that were returned for touch down
That game sucked. It was the first time I really wanted to punch someone in the mouth for saying that game was a "moral victory".
Hold onto the ball, Jared Cook. And another ten years later we still find ways to lose to Auburn.
I think I'm thinking about the 2010 game, but during the final drive to come back and tie it up we burned at least one time out AFTER we got a first down and stopped the clock, with the game ending with us having the ball still but running out of time.
In basketball, Dave Odom not pressing with less than 10 seconds on the clock and up by 1 or 2. Let them roll it out to half court with no time ticking off the clock. I remember at least 3 games with this scenario and it bit usc in the ass every time.
In baseball...CH presser before vandy series 2016. "Runs will be at a premium, we will have to scratch out whatever we can". Friday night game....usc leadoff batter doubles. No bunt called, stranded runner. 2nd inning, same scenario, leadoff batter doubles, no bunt, stranded. That is when I lost any trust in him as our coach.
Up 21-0 in Gainesville and Faison dropped a pick 6 in the flat to go up 28-0

That was '00 I believe. DW blocked a punt I believe early on. Early lead didnt last long as they came back and whipped us.
In all seriousness, 3 straight fades to Alshon against Alabama in 2009 was frustrating as hell. Classic stubborn Spurrier
Also... Switchinng quarterbacks every play in 2008 (?) against Arkansas (?)

When Spurrier was coach we would have 4th and 1 and bring in a wildcat QB and the whole world knew we were gonna run it and it very seldom ever worked. He did that a bunch of times.
Im going to one that bothered me as they did it when i was at Clemson in 2000 and still bothers me.
After the Gardner catch with 7 seconds left, Clemson spiked the ball and Hunt the freshman kicker was coming in, who was a little shakey in prior games, and Clemson was out of timeouts. Field had just flipped
We call a timeout because Holtz has a kick block idea and wants a certain package, his idea did not work, and they get a extra 30 seconds or whatever to calm down, get the correct unit on, get the kickers footing set, think through.
In that situation a time out only helped them and the kicker, you want them to rush on and run out of time get a penalty or rush a kick and screw up.
Stupid call for a TO when they were out of them in that situation.

Or run it all the way down the field, get a first and goal, and start throwing it
