[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 823744, member: 282"] Here are a couple of recaps of the last few series of the NIU game. I've hidden them with the "spoiler" tag for those that don't want to see any of that game ever again. In the last two series--on offense and defense--we didn't go for the throat. We might have lost the game anyway, but I think we'd have had a better chance if we were more aggressive on offense and defense at the end of the game. Hopefully, lesson learned. The camera angles are what they are, so there are limits to what I can call out. Maybe I can find one position. (ACCN, please give better camera angles for people who love the game.) [spoiler] Here's Walker on the 3-and-out towards the end of the NIU game. With the ball strip in the previous series, this should have been when we ran out the clock on offense.
