Turning point of the game...

[Oldgoldandwhite]

When we threw the ball on first down, on the first possession of second half. When we do not get 4+ yards on first down, we are not a good team. My opinion only. I wish we would throw on second and short instead of first down.

The clear turning point was the PJ Davis penalty.

I completely agree. The wind was totally sucked out of our sails.

Glad we finally had a good drive at the end of the second half. Was a HUGE series. We had a chop block that almost cost us too. I also think in the 1st half there was a phantom Pass Interference call in the first half that led to a GASO score. 28 unanswered points hurts. Glad we scored enough.

How bout defense rallying with their last breath to get the turnover and set us up for our winning drive, on the edge of defeat? Turning point for this season?

It could be. I like to think that we might look back late in the season and say that is what really stepped up. I know Harrell was in on D on that play and he seemed to help. We have got to play clean on both sides of the ball.

This^^^^ +99999...

I haven't watched the film and didn't see what he did, but after that play, instead of 3rd and 20+ it's 1st down and another score on the way.

You my friend are exactly right. CPJ has become an impatient play caller.

Yep. Completely changed the game.

I'm not sure I would call that rallying as much as a well timed gift. We couldn't stop them in the second half. Glad our guys were hustling to recover the ball.

It seemed like our play calling went weird. Like we thought we had enough of a lead to start messing around and getting cute.

I agree with this. We have a gassed defense, and two possessions in a row we throw 2 of 3 times and end up punting. Terrible play calling. Run the dang ball. Burn the clock. Let our defense sit on the pine for a while. They never stopped our running game. We went away from it.

My take on play calling in the third, fwiw: our QB had hit 7 passes in a row to go 7 of 8 before hitting a drought at the end of the 1st half. The passes were open, and JT should have been able to hit them. If he does, their comeback is crushed.

Does anyone know why we were rotating OL so much? We drove the ball really well in the first half, but I noticed Marshall in for Burden; Devine in for Braun, and Joe in for Chamberlain during the 2nd half. Why mess with chemistry unless we have injuries?

Well, it at least started with having a 25 point lead. But that is just a guess.

Yep. We get one first down and game over. 3 and out, tired defense, no time off the clock regardless of any penalties.
