for the jugular on that play, and it didn't work out. He then ran on second down and the drive died and the wind went out of the offenses sails and it seemed ARod got conservative and predictable. But to say he completely shut it down conveniently ignores that he did go for a kill shot--he also went for a double pass trick play that should have been called for PI.

I actually felt that missed bomb to Lassiter was the turning point in the game. If they connect, game over. They didn't and then then it seemed they went conservative on O and let Baylor back in.
