It was stupid for us to show the replay on the video board in that situation. It would never have been challenged had it not been shown. Maybe we didn't have control since it was on TV? KA is a heckuva player. On third and long why don't we blitz? Late in the game they had 3rd and 12 and we gave him all day and he completed a 40 yd. pass. If that ETSU/UTC score holds up we will be kicking ourselves.
Adams is a hard man to bring extra rushers against because of his elusiveness and ability to break contain. The last thing a defense wants is for him to sidestep a rusher, get outside and the defense be down a defender (by virtue of extra pressure).apaladin wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 8:57 pmIt was stupid for us to show the replay on the video board in that situation.

Against a player like Adams, you try to pressure him by keeping him in the pocket and collapsing on top of him. I imagine we also had "spys" on him most of the game as well. You cannot give him running lanes or slight creases to run through.
Besides, we have a good pass rush with our defensive line. If you can create pressure with 4, there's no need to bring more.
