Re: GDT: SDSU vs UNI
Glad we won (der), but, and I'll preface this by saying that I have 'no' football mind whatsoever, I just don't understand some of our play calls. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.
I don't recall the situations now, but the first call I questioned was a 3rd and 5 I think at some point early in the game (we were going south) and we ran one of those corner fades where Sumner lobbed it up for our guy to get it that you see a lot in the endzone, except we ran it at about the UNI 25 yd line (I hate that play even when it works, it seems like the percentage of success is so low)....seemed like a horrible call given the fact that the wind was blowing so hard in the direction the ball was thrown and guess what, it sailed and was incomplete.
The second play call I didn't understand was a 3rd and 2 late in the game (the first OT?, I don't remember) where we lined up shotgun and ran a draw, effectively making a 3rd and 2, actually a 3rd and 7 and naturally got stuffed.
Anyhow, we won. Always nice to beat UNI.
Also, I swear the UNI punt returner touched the ball on the 2nd quarter punt.
Agreed on the attendance thing. Pathetic. I knew once I got there there was no way we were even gonna hit 8k. Terrible terrible.
