I will split the difference between FBALL and most of the others on the play calling. First, in OT, Cobb touches the ball 1 time and its a hogwash option play with him running horizontally and pitching to Locke. Stupid play. That's play calling. That is Joker. IMO, no defending that. Newton is too slow to run horizontal against a good team. How about 1 time giving the ball to Locke on the sweep. We always had Cobb run it, but if you need a TD, why put it on the legs of a slow Newton. If you were gonna try to get the corner, and to the pylon, why not use the speedy legs of Locke. The UT line dominated the second half. That was a big key to the game. On the last drive after the Stocker fumble, I would normally agree with kicking the field goal. You play the percentages and take your chances in OT. However, after thinking about it, you go for the win. 3 yards is a pretty good chunk, but you give it to Cobb and let him do his thing. You get him to the outside and I like our chances. It is a mindset that UK just does not have. Playing to tie/lose is not playing to win. They were dominating us up front, and our chances in OT were gonna be slim. Another deal with Newton. How many times did he have an opportunity to run vertical and did not. I do not like him running horizontal, but vertical he could help. He could have give Sieber a few yards closer and maybe we could have gotten points. Our offense overall is just not very good. When your best player, Cobb, is your best receiver, runner, and probably QB, it is not a good position to be in. Oh well, the stupid beat goes on. BTW, did anyone notice the screen pass leave at halftime?
