My two cents: going for 2 was the right call. Good play call too.
Your team reminds me of Army on 2015 - learning to win, but losing close while doing so.
Good luck the rest of the way.
Haha, such a great play call, it took 3 timeouts to come up with it.........and it failed! The kid that made the tackle was unblocked.
Good play call......for Army.
Good luck the rest of the way as well.
I agree with you. Bad play call we should of ran the ball up the middle with the defense spread out like that. The blame solely falls on Creighton, he picked the offensive coordinator who cannot coach at this level. Keens makes DeBoar look like a NFL level coordinator. The four losses are solely because we have no offense and that falls on the head coach. Creightons decisions on the sideline show he does not know how to coach at this level.
Don't lump me in with this guy, who has just appeared out of the woodwork. Creighton is a good coach, my only question ever has been on the recruiting side. He made a great, quick decision on the DC, and he may have an OC decision to make after the season, depending on how the last 6 games play out.
On a positive note, we finally saw signs of life in the running game! Actually saw Dervil getting reps and more OL rotating in and out. I think they're still trying to figure tge best OL combinations out. Not sure if that's good or bad, 6 games in. Did notice they're back to pulling and trapping inside, which I think was the primary difference. Love Eriksen, but still not sure why they don't just split the carries equally now between him and Turner. I think it would be good for both, and the team.
My final comment on going for 2. I still don't agree with it, but obvious arguments can be made on both sides. Not going to skewer the staff for the decision, they obviously had their own reasoning. Hopefully Neathery was in on the discussion. We make it he's a hero, we don't he's a goat. Leaving aside the decision, still don't like the play call because the tackler was unblocked. Not giving your RB a very good chance in that situation. Eriksen made a hell of an effort, as always.
Gut check time now. We're good enough to win out. Hopefully our bad luck the last 4 games, starts turning back in our favor the final 6. More mental toughness now, than physical. I believe this group has the mental toughness to make a run.
Let's have a big turnout for a Bronco upset to turn the tide!
