    ..why we ran the ball on first and second down from the 6 yard line down by two scores with less than 4 minutes left and waiting until 3rd down to attempt a pass after wasting time off the clock and a crucial timeout to boot?

    ..why as soon as we had a 9-pt lead we decided to bust out the RB pass and continued to be pass happy until promptly stalling a drive with a 48-yd missed FG and an unfortunate interception?

    When people defend Greg Davis by throwing the defense under the bus, this exactly the kind of stress the offense, specifically the playcalling, puts on the defense that I point to. Both of these seem like very simple math to me. Have a lead - run the clock, down by two scores, don't waste the clock. Is there something I'm missing?

    That's usually how I do it in the video game, don't see why Greg can't do the same thing on the real field.

    It was hoping beyond hope that Baylor would never imagine in their wildest dreams that we would run the ball on first and second down from the 6 yard line down by two scores with less than 4 minutes left.

    I can't believe no one on this thread has got the answer correct.

    We were obviously looking ahead to future games and didn't want to open up our playbook and reveal too much to future opponents. Greg is playing this one close to the vest and I say Bravo! We want to surprise FAU!

    To quote Scipio......."We’re entering Game 9 of the season and there isn’t a single thing that this offense does well. Or even passably...."

    Because Greg had read all the postings on here about how predictable his play calling is, and he was just trying to prove them wrong.
