ND ran a Double post with our fastest receiver in single coverage. It was a no brainer. Great call, lousy execution.

You put the ball in a place where only your WR can catch it. If you overthrow it that's better than a wounded duck.

Now you can make a case that Freeman should not have trusted Leonard to make that throw.

- It was an absolutely terrible throw. Mark 1:35pm · 9/9/24
  - Agree.The receiver had to stop and come back on the ball, making it look like he was covered well. Hensou 1:48pm · 9/9/24
    - I think you need to re-look at the play D2 3:04pm · 9/9/24
      - The other issue is that scoring as quickly as possible wasn't ideal there. jakers 3:58pm · 9/9/24
      - Agree the safety was right there. Sam maybe squeezes it in, but dumb call with 5 minutes left, Frank L 3:30pm · 9/9/24
        
        Maybe Denbrock forgot who his qb was in that momentNT D2 3:51pm · 9/9/24
        
        Yup. Sam was a dud but he could go downfield with much better accuracy.NT Frank L 3:59pm · 9/9/24
- why even take the chance in that situation?NT SanJoseCAFan 1:30pm · 9/9/24
- I think, all in all, it was a terrible call. D2 12:59pm · 9/9/24
  - He threw downfield and had receivers drop the ball.NT Hensou 1:43pm · 9/9/24
- The decision to let RL throw wasn’t sound ndinga 12:26pm · 9/9/24
  - Yes, even if we got stopped McIrish 2:28pm · 9/9/24
    - Unfair. In the Southern Hemisphere the ball spins the other way...and must go much farther...NT TakethetrainKnute 2:44pm · 9/9/24
  - This absolutely correctNT ColeyO 1:17pm · 9/9/24
  - I understand your logic. Hensou 12:30pm · 9/9/24
