This is correct. Max was hurt, he needed some time, I get that. Burn the possession, you're only down 7 and their QB makes NFL Tebow look like college Tebow. They couldnt do a thing against our D the second half.Downing might be an ok backup but he has to hold on to the damn ball. The strip sack down by our own endzone against Iowa St and then the pick six yesterday killed us in both games.
If Max never came back in I'd understand the decision a bit more. Game ending injury and Downing is our guy and all that, but that's not what this was. This was buying time to figure out if the starter could get back in, throwing that ball was insanity and cost us the game.
