The play call on 2nd & goal-beating a dead horse thoroughly


Nov 13, 2016, 8:06 AM

I've seen a lot of forgetful posts about the play that ended in a pick. It was 2nd down, not third. Also, Gallman had just gained 4 yards on the prior play; so, saying he wouldn't have gotten in is meaningless. Furthermore, he had scored 3 TD's already on the ground, including an easy one in the 3rd quarter the last time we were inside the 5. Regardless, I would take 2 no gains and a fg all day long in that situation. DW should not have made the throw, but it's a poor strategic decision by the coaches. There's a number of plays and calls that could have changed the outcome of the game, but that was certainly one of them.

That is the correct answer for 7 points.

It didn't even need to be 7 points at that point in the game, two more running plays either kills the two remaining timeouts for Pitt or takes the clock down to about 2.5 minutes and makes it a two score game after the FG. Heck even if they miss the FG, Pitt now has to go 97 yards for the TD instead of 30 after the INT.

Tony Elliot and DW probably agree with you now.....
