again expecting a different outcome. You see it time & time again where crowd noise creates untimely procedure penalties. Happened to bama in Neyland. Happened to UT yesterday. You see it in the NFL. Over & over in big games. I'm disappointed we seemingly had no plan. Imo you get to the line. You set. You snap. Only way to combat that level of crowd noise. That would eliminate the line shift that Georgia was doing to. Also, you can't audible in that noise. Don't even try! Years ago I remember Auburn & Terry Bowden of all people went into the swamp and won. They decided before the game to go with the play called/no audibles. Oh well. People make millions & keep doing the same shizzle must be a reason.
A couple of things
To the receivers we used a lot of hand signals
To the line and RB we tend to use verbal signals
The noise (though they CHEATED like hell on the noise) slowed our signals down and the linemen , especially Wright, got antsy and reacted to their late shifts, and other movements
The OL needs better discipline and I guarantee Ellerbe will harp on that a LOT
The noise and cheating:
They constantly were showing db meter readings during our possessions
They were hitting upwards to 130
However, when the scoreboard speakers weren't transmitting NOISE the readings were in the 110-115 range
A lot of that noise was from the stadium speakers!
How do I know this?
I was standing more or less in front of them
