Nah. I liked going for it. Probably needed more imaginative play calls on those 4th downs. If the Ducks convert their season average on 4th downs they would win the game going away. Even one of them would have done it. And on the last one, even failing, they got the ball back with plenty of time to win it. It may well have been worse if the Huskies had another 25 yards to go. The Ducks had the ball with plenty of time to win the game against the #7 team in the country. And they had been gashing them. This is only Lanning's 2nd season. And it's been fun. I don't fault him for it. I love the aggressive play calling. Just need to get the coordinators and players to execute at a bit higher level. The players and coordinators want to be in those situations.
Is this gonna be another one of those super awesome letdown games that we are famous for after losing a heart breaker? Usually it’s Arizona who does this to us.
I knew Wash St would come out fired up after getting their lunch money stolen last week. I’m a little confused why we have kind of abandoned the run game.
I’d keep pounding the ball on the ground. Control the time of possession. It will open up the passing game more
