Two stiff hands, one perpendicular and tapping the edge of the palm. It's a universal sports signal — timeout. And it saved Georgia's bacon Saturday. But where does it rank among the best decisions in CFP history, asks Andy_Staples?
The kick never got off the ground and Georgia recovered on the Oklahoma 47-yard line with three seconds remaining. That still probably was only time for a heave into the end zone. Or, if Smart had just wanted the Bulldogs to lick their wounds, he could have had his team take a knee.
So much still had to happen for Georgia to win this game in two overtimes. But it doesn’t happen if the Bulldogs decide to head into the locker room instead of trying to use those last three seconds.Teams have multiple headset channels including one for offense, one for defense and one for special teams. As Ohio State lined up for that fake punt, Georgia assistants were talking on the special teams channel about a potential fake. Smart didn’t hear that, though.
So before Ohio State could snap the ball — and possibly get away with a 12-man fake punt — Smart sprinted to head linesman Darryl Johnson and requested a timeout.No one had done to Alabama’s defense in 2015 what Clemson and quarterback Deshaun Watson were doing to the Crimson Tide when the teams faced off in the first of three national title matchups in four seasons.
