There is a good explanation for this

I think A-rod is like kyle Shanahan. Fantastic most of the time when playing ahead or against inferior talent. But when the game is on the line and pressure ramps up (ex. critical moment that the game is hanging on), you can count on him getting too cute/pulling a bonehead play. This leaves our players to have to outplay the other team AND A-rod's handicap.

There is a reason Shanahan will never win a super bowl as long as he is the play caller (already lost 2). Same with A-rod.

He’s gotta be hurt

He’s hurt so we don’t give him redzone touches? And injured players can play

Ok, bummer. Put in Moa who’s been an absolute beast. Or Ropati for that matter

It's what the defense was giving them. Just gotta go with it. The defense has only given the offense 3 opportunities

How many total plays inside the 10 did we run the last two games?

That's what I don't know but I can think of one game altering situation vs KU

7:53am

Sample size is pretty important.

shoganai

7:54am

Throwing a fade on 1st & goal from the 5 for an INT does limit the amount of potential plays.

foofcoug

8:12am

Throwing an interception does. The route, itself, isn't really material.

The fact that an INT was thrown on the same route for a 2 point conversion the previous week means that it should not

Retzlaff hit Keanu Hill on that same play against SMU. I don’t recall you being outraged so maybe you missed that game.

Uh, yes. The matchup was there and the play has been successful in the past. Jake has shown that he can make that

Yes, I'm in favor of running successful plays until they aren't successful anymore.

I don't think the call was the issue (although i would have preferred we ran it on that down). The execution was poor.
