[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2455942, member: 70903"] I coached for 15 years after I finished at TCU before going back to school ..when we got out the "alternative" playbook in the first few possessions it was always to try and disrupt a team that we knew would blow us off the line straight up in a big way and hope that threw them off enough to capitalize on the form of a big lead before they recovered. It rarely ever has worked and works even less the world of "speed" we see today in football where a two touchdown lead can disappear in less than a minute. My experience stands by the belief that their coaching staff knew they were outmanned and the clock was their enemy. If they truly thought they had a small shot before the game started - I think they would have held the trick plays for when it close later like the end of the first half or even early 4Q to get a lead in a close game and try to hold on They shot their wad too early and gave us too much time to recover and take back the game [/QUOTE]
