T. Feaster question. If there were 4 seconds left in the game...

[gr8spur]

against Clemson. And we were down by 4 points. And it was our ball, 4th and goal, at Clemson's 1 yard line. And Feaster had over 100 yards in the game. And Clemson was playing for an undefeated regular season. Would you 100% trust putting the ball in Feaster's hands? Just wondering. My garnet blood is having a little trouble with this one.

Feaster has something to prove this year. He wants to get him name out there for NFL scouts. If he has a chance to score a game winning TD against on elite defense with numerous NFL prospects. I dont think previously playing for them would factor in this scenario.

Holy cow.. when you think some on GC cant get any crazier, you are again surprised.

Fake to Feaster and Bentley would go in untouched around the end. Guaranteed. I would not give it to Feaster.

 

[Gradstudent]

Yeah I would give him the ball, I think he would want them to think it was a mistake benching him a while back and he would come through.

Wow, you and I agree on something. Let's not make it a habit. Ok?

Mods shouldn’t even allow ridiculous questions like this...dude is trying to get to the NFL man.

 

[18IsTheMan]

what if we were down 5 points?

 

[ken in sacramento]

yea but would you let him kick the game winning field goal?

 

[jeff2001]

Very good question, I dont think so. According to "insiders" when Feaster left clemson, he gave dabo the old wink-wink nod nod and dabo handed him a very thick manila envelope .......hmmmmm

 

[ClemsonBlozz]

what if we were down 5 points?

With 6 seconds?

Let's hope that in return Feaster doesn't hand Dabo a thick manila envelope (our play book).

 

[18IsTheMan]

[Elgringo]

Just fake the handoff and hit the TE. Problem solved.

A very good question.

 

[Art__Vandelay]

Are you implying he'd throw the game? lol

Football is this dude's job and he's a competitor. He would look at this like playing his brother. May be friends, but still want to kick each other's arse and rib each other after you do.

Not only that, like someone said- as a guy trying to get to the league, you don't think he'd want what would be one of the biggest TD's of the CFB season (in this hypothetical scenario) on his resume?

 

[heavycock]

what if we were down 5 points?

We'd probably all be hammered.

Oh sorry, misread that as "What if we were down IN 5 points?"

 

[USCBruce]

OK, let's say he scores and wins the game, thus propelling us to a bowl game. Does he play in the bowl game, or stand on the sideline?

 

[bosoxcock]

SC down by 4....and 4th and goal on Clemson's 1 yard line?, I'll sign up for that scenario, but that's probably more of a stretch than Feaster fumbling on purpose,

Absolutely trust him.

 

[BattleshipTexas]

On the Clemson website they are probably moaning about him bringing a copy of the Clemson playbook to Muschamp. If they lose, that will certainly be blamed as the reason.

Common mistake: fans believing players act and think like fans.

Thanks. Glad you like my post.

 

[cockofdawn]

4 points without a doubt, give it to him... 5 points, Probably not..

 

[cockofdawn]

With 6 seconds?

with 6 seconds you try a Quick pass to just inside the endzone Pylon, gives you two seconds if that doesnt work..

 

[Carolina4]

Feaster didn’t get where he is not being a competitor. I’m sure he has so many good memories and will always be a Clemson Tiger. However, I bet if you asked him the 1 game on our schedule he wanted to win most he’d say the Clemson game.

This is like asking if Spurrier would try hard against Florida. Remember how hard that dude coached that game? He just about crushed their Title hopes in 2007, if not for a penalty and a blocked FG. Any coach I’ve ever been around that played their alma mater always wanted to beat them. They always brought a little extra to that game. Doesn’t mean they don’t love them...they do. But they want to win it.

 

[GCDC1959]

Op’s Mentality is why we are sledding uphill right now. The second best back in our state falls into our lap....USE HIM UP!!!

 

[jimnasium]

The Clemson fans would storm the field and the game would be over before we got the play off.

 

[SilatGamecock]

Yea, but would you allow him to call the play

I pondered that last year when old Muschamp shut it down at the end of the 3rd quarter against Florida. LoL

Well you don’t have to worry about Muschamp letting up against the school that fired him. Not to mention, Muschamp is a Georgia Bulldog. You can bet he wants to beat Florida and UGA every season. Problem is we just aren’t very good.

So we didn't let up last year? Looked like we did to me. We were beating them like a rented mule and went Conservative but that's just my observation. I was just joking about him doing it on purpose but he definitely went into conservative mode.

 

[ClemsonBlozz]

Wouldn't be worth the risk of a sack..

There is a difference in getting conservative and letting up. We got conservative to try and run clock, shorten the game, and win. That’s not a new strategy...and probably works more often than not. It’s just fans remember the times it doesn’t work way more. But in no way was he “letting up” because he has sympathy on Florida or didn’t want to score more.

It’s also been said many of the plays were bad reads meaning we still ran the offense we did to get the lead. Jake simply handed the ball off way more, making the wrong read multiple times. So according to those who did that research and studied the film, we didn’t even go conservative. We just made the wrong reads.

Either way I would say it was a mistake, which is easy to do because we lost. I doubt anyone felt worse about that loss than Muschamp did.

One question. What kind of season has he had - overall? If he's a 1000 yard rusher and the starter at TB and no injuries (he's 100% at this point) then yes because it would mean he has the ability to find the opening and could likely get 1 yard.

But Spurrier would use him as a decoy. So there's that aspect.

 

[JackieChiles]

I would run a pick route to Renfrow.

It's only unthinkable if you don't think it

It worked for Spurrier many times, but he had a much better defense to rely on at the time.

 

[jimnasium]

I think he would ask for the ball.
