[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 90761, member: 231"] How do you anticipate a 75 yard run and how can a coach on a team that is behind in the score and needs to score a touchdown instruct a player to purposefully take a knee instead of scoring the TD? I mean really step back and consider watching a team [I]actually [/I]do that. I understand the sense that the offense could just "score at will" but truly there are just no guarantees. Smelter takes a knee and the next play from the 5 is a fumble scooped and scored on by UNC . . . you can't [I]actually [/I]play or call a game thinking you "know" what is going to happen next. I share the frustration of going, "ugh, no way the defense will actually stop them and win the game." But you know what. The Defense [I]needed[/I] to find a way to do just that because that is how the game played out. I was saying the exact same thing in the Southern game and against VT: "No way the defense gets a stop." Especially Southern, and then we amazingly get the fumble and recover it. [I]All [/I]units on a team get chances to play a part in winning a ballgame. To win a game enough of all the individual unit's possessions have to be successful. [/QUOTE]
