Going for 2 was 100% the right call. We were 2/2 on 2 pt conversions up to that point. Just because it failed doesn’t change that going for 2 was the right thing to do.
This was an opportunity for the team to actually see progress in winning a game we flat out lost in the first half. But our DEFENSIVE coach basically said “we can’t stop them” and put everything on a call from a guy that was coaching HS football 2 years ago. Not bashing the OC as he has shown he’s a huge upgrade from Harrell. But for $€!7 sake why would Walters throw the game on his OC’s shoulders rather than his own? Walters should be left in Illinois for that call.
While I don't agree with the play call , a run option pass might have been better , I feel our secondary was gassed. Our secondary has really been a major issue the last few years.
By the way just so we are clear, I wanted hazell gone after his opening press conference when he got hired, in which he said he was going to play tressel ball at Purdue. As bad as he was, he was just slightly better than the shit we have watched this year.

So you’re saying it was a better decision to put the game in the hands of a coach 2 years removed from HS than it was our HC that is a defensive savant? Walters should be walked out after that. Defend Walters as long as you want but today was a clear example that the guy isn’t ready to be a head coach.
Short memory. This team can’t stop anyone. Not even to meat of schedule. That was not a an outstanding offense doing whatever they wanted against us today
I’ve never seen defense this bad. Hazell’s teams had bad scores because the offense was a 3 and out machine, but so was this team till about an hour ago.
Hazell left ten guys who graded over 70 on defense for Jeff brohm in year one. And I know that wasn’t nick holt working miracles cause that number went to 7 then 3 by 2019.
He had no offense. Not even Gerry Faust’s high school offense. But he didn’t have a loose defense with little fight by the end

A lot of indications that the kid behind him is actually our future. Now that teams have tape on Browne, we’ll see how he looks if he in-fact continues to play…
