Having said that about TC, on the 2nd drive of the game for SDSU, we got into the red zone again, and TC had 2 great throws on 1st and 2nd down, but Wandmaker and Campbell couldn't come up with the receptions. Sometimes it just comes down to guys needing to make plays. TC played well early, but seemed to be rattled after so much pressure. After those 2 plays, we had 3rd and 10, and Eidsness calls a sweep run that goes for 0 yards. WTF... that sets up a long 48 yd FG that Chase misses.
The bigger problem imo is Eidsness' play calling. Here's a summary of all of Eidsness' 3rd down calls that failed to convert:
1st half:
3rd and 7 - Swing pass - no chance he gets the 1st if he catches it, incomplete
3rd and 10 - Sweep run - 0 yds
3rd and 3 - down field pass - heavy pressure and good coverage, incomplete
3rd and 8 - down field pass - heavy pressure and good coverage, incomplete
3rd and 8 - sweep run - 0 yds
3rd and 9 - down field pass - heavy pressure and good coverage, incomplete
2nd half:
3rd and 7 - down field pass - bad pass by TC way behind receiver, interception
3rd and 14 - down field pass - completion for 7 yards, short of 1st
3rd and 3 - down field pass - bad pass by TC into traffic and behind receiver, tipped for incomplete
3rd and 7 - swing pass - no chance he gets the 1st if he catches it, incomplete
3rd and 6 - QB sweep run to short side of field - stuffed for 0 yds and holding penalty
3rd and 16 - down field pass - completion for 7 yards, short of 1st
3rd and 5 - delay of game penalty - this one was tough, got snapped RIGHT after the clock went to 0, a lot of times you'll see the refs let those go if it's close
3rd and 10 - swing pass - would have got lit up if he caught it, incomplete
4th and 5 - down field pass - bad pass by TC into traffic, tipped for incomplete
Obviously you have to give credit to UNI's defense, they played really well. Also, some of the blame is TC and the O line, as they didn't have great games. However... Eidsness needs to realize that horizontal plays on 3rd and long have no f-in shot of being converted for a 1st down. Here are the successful 3rd down plays:
3rd and 3 - down field pass - 13 yard completion
3rd and 4 - down field pass - 11 yard completion
3rd and 3 - down field pass - 6 yard completion
3rd and 8 - down field pass - 16 yard completion
3rd and 10 - down field pass - 21 yard completion
Idk about you guys... but I see a trend emerging here... 3rd down conversion rates:
down field pass 38.5% (5-13)
swing passes/sweep runs 0 % (0-6)
I don't have the time, but I can about guarantee you'll see a similar story in other games, if not all of them. Eidsness needs to start answering some questions.
