Dillard was on FIRE the first half. With them expecting us to pass, I bet he could have ripped off 10 yards + easily. I sure wish we could have found out. IF he doesnt, which is entirely possible, so what? Its 3rd down and there is almost no time on the clock! We run another play and the first half is OVER. Maybe most importantly, we get the ball at the start of the 2nd half.
If he does rip one off to the 45 or 50, THEN you take your shot.
We pumped life back into Idaho and it almost got us beat. Down 28-6 with no TD's at half......they would have had no life. Instead, down 28-14? Fired up!!
Its not like we have had ANY success with 2 minute drives anyway. In fact, there was just over a minute left, right?
Somebody point out to me more than 1 drive with less than 90 seconds left Kubik has engineered from deep in our own territory that has resulted in points?
I cant think of 1. Maybe Im wrong. Its just not our strength. Sure, if we are up 14-6, or even 21-6, I can MAYBE justify it. But up 3 scores on the road? I hated the call. I think it almost cost us the game.
