There have been a couple of head scratching in game coaching decisions throughout the season but the series of events at the end the first half takes the cake.
So we stop them near mid field with about 40 seconds left and call time out. I'm thinking okay, I'm not sure why we'd do that but it's fine.
They then punt the ball and down it at the two with thirty seconds left. Okay, they don't have any timeouts left so we take a knee and go into half time. Not only did we not take a knee we had a freshman quarterback throw a pass from his end zone into double coverage!!!!! For the life of me what was the point. Even if the pass was completed, we would have had the ball on the 20 with 20 seconds left in the half. Even Joe Tiller would have taken a knee with Drew Brees at QB.
Luckily, they missed their field goal attempt, but these types of decisions can and will cost us games in the future.
