Here are the best and worst coaching decisions from around the SEC in Week 14:

GOOD MOVE

Missouri had one helluva trick up its sleeve for Friday’s showdown with Arkansas, and it picked the perfect time to unleash it against the Razorbacks.

Trailing by eight points early in the fourth quarter, Missouri drove 60 yards in 12 plays to score its first touchdown of the game. The Tigers then elected to go for two points and the tie, resulting in the play below:

It’s difficult to put this play into words, but let’s give it a try.

Quarterback Maty Mauk pretends to change the protection scheme with his offensive linemen, only for Mizzou to snap the ball directly to tailback Marcus Murphy. Murphy then laterals the ball to wideout Bud Sasser coming across the formation on a reverse. Sasser then throws a pass to the corner of the end zone, finding Darius White for the game-tying score.

What a play, and what an incredibly well-timed play call.

This play has everything — decoys, misdirection, reverses and wide receivers throwing passes. The Tigers saved it for the perfect opportunity, and it paid off in a huge way. Missouri went on to win the game and clinch its second straight SEC East title, thanks in large part to head coach Gary Pinkel’s brilliant play call on this late two-point attempt.

BAD MOVE

Six catches for 60 yards and a touchdown would constitute a productive day for most wide receivers. Those are the numbers Amari Cooper posted in just the first half of Saturday’s Iron Bowl.

Yet for whatever reason, (former) Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson never felt the need to shade coverages in Cooper’s direction in the second half, allowing him to catch seven more passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns. Cooper controlled the game in the second half, allowing Alabama to score 34 points in a come-from-behind win.

The Tide’s offense spoiled Auburn’s 44-point, 630-yard performance on Saturday, and Johnson’s inability to find a scheme to limit Cooper was among the worst coaching moves of the weekend.

Johnson has since been fired from his position, and while his termination can’t be credited to just one game Saturday’s Iron Bowl certainly didn’t help.

Now we arrive at the Georgia special teams portion of this week’s Impactful Coaching Decisions. The Dawgs were lifted by one great coaching decision, then dropped by another questionable call late in their loss to Georgia Tech. Take a look:

GOOD MOVE

Georgia and Georgia Tech were tied at 14-all early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game when the Bulldogs lined up for a 48-yard go-ahead field goal. The attempt was near the edge of kicker Marshall Morgan’s range, and a miss would have set up the Yellow Jackets’ offense with great field position on their ensuing drive.

Instead, the Dawgs ran a fake field goal, setting themselves up with a first and goal inside the Georgia Tech 5 yard line. Take a look at the play:

The Bulldogs’ drive would end with another field goal, but this kick was from just 19 yards out and was nearly automatic for Marshall. The Bulldogs elected to run a risky trick play rather than kick a risky long field goal.

Ultimately, three points are three points, but Richt and company chose the correct risk to pursue in that situation.

BAD MOVE

Later in the same game, Georgia led 24-21 on a Malcolm Mitchell touchdown with just 18 seconds left. The Dawgs had Georgia Tech on the ropes, especially considering the Yellow Jackets had thrown for just 64 yards to that point in the game.

But for whatever reason Richt elected to have Morgan execute a squib kick on the ensuing kickoff, which Tech scooped up at its own 27 and returned to its own 43 yard line. Take a look at the kick here:

The Jackets ran one play, a 21-yard rush by Justin Thomas, then drilled a 53-yard field goal to force overtime in the most unlikely of ways. Georgia Tech won in overtime, costing Georgia a chance at a New Year’s Six bowl. The win marked the Yellow Jackets second win over UGA since 2001.
