We were doing what we did to A&M to close out the game and decided to go off script. Dumb play calling, even if the play should have succeeded.
Even if they only run off 2 more minutes and need to punt, don’t believe the D lets them drive the full field for a score in under 3 minutes.
Get a first down on the 2nd and 1, run 3 plays and even if they don’t get a first, the game is likely won.

- 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
