Punt. Not converting would be a horrible momentum swing.

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion
It doesn't have to be "runs", quick out routes to flat etc work all the same. We aren't even using the runs to set up play action. If all runs are up the middle and passes are slow developing, we aren't really doing our selves any favors.CoachRob wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 6:27 pmTheir Defense has adjusted to take away pass. We have to run some to keep them honest. We were able to catch them on the opening drive. Haven't been able to since.
Guys, this defense is too good to just throw it every play. Any successful offense HAS to run some in between the passes ... two straight incomplete passes forces 3 & longs which just show are not in our favor. Have to run some on 1st & 2nd.

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion
Completely sickening watch us run the same dive play every third down.

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion
third and short is a great time for a pass to the TE out of run formation. We have done that some but 0-3 today.

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion
Punt would be the safe call but will probably go for it. Might be ballgame if we don't get ut

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion
They would fully expect the run to the right. That RPO toss to TE in the flat would be there. I'm tired of asking for this play

I would punt but I wouldn’t want to be making this decision.

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion
Guessing we go for it. Actually play action and they have it covered? Then we see if Joey can run for it.

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion
Pounding the run game pays dividends in a lot of ways later in the game. Maybe we haven’t done it enough. Opposite thoughts of most.
