which is why many are arguing it either shouldn't have been a pass play, or it shouldn't have been that pass play.... too much youth and inexperience at a critical juncture in the game.

Purdy's Interception

I think you have to try for 7. I’m not sure you have to pass it to try for 7, and your QB should be schooled to throw it into the stands if no one is open.
that is the smart thing to do, either the QB's aren't that smart or the OC isn't that smart
Trust me, I didn't agree with the call (or Satt's hiring) but we have youth EVERYWHERE. Thing is, if Satt ran the ball every play, there would still be cat-calls for his head removal for having "no imagination" or continuity between play calls. Not every play he calls is bad, nor is every play a good one and he has a ton to prove to HCMR and Trev. Again, I'm not a fan of his. But at some point, fans have to expect players to execute at a certain level, and with so much youth on offense, it's more complicated than it appears in terms of who is at fault on a play-by-play basis.

Sound a bit like the play that didn’t win us the National Championship in ‘84.
Exactly what I said. You gotta go for 7 there, it’s how you go about it, that should have been vastly different.
I pulled down the in game odds and we were only at 49% when we got it goal to go. It seems like that should have been much higher where a FG from 5 yards put would be almost automatic and a drive to tie the game much below 50%.
Has our scoring in the red zone gotten so bad that the odds are 50/50 we will turn it over before kicking a FG?

I didn't love Rhule's answer to the turnovers and play calling during today's presser (Monday). Starting to see why it keeps happening.
Run the ball and kick the fg 100% of the time and you likely win or go to OT. The chance of a turnover on a running play is significantly less than on a passing play.
Keeping the ball on the ground also takes time off the clock...unlike an incomplete pass.
I think that's a weird anomaly. ESPN's Win Probability had Nebraska at 70% on 2nd down from the five. [NOTE: Clock on the table is based on start time of the drive]
The trouble with the whole play was Purdy stared down the route even before the ball is snapped.
Bottom line is we just don't have a Div 1 type of QB on the roster.
Youre right. In the end it doesnt matter what play is called if the players dont execute them.
That is lost on a lot of our fan base.
