That will give you more options than 2 incomplete passes so you're 3rd and long and memphis expecting what's coming.
Disagree. We ran OUR gameplan and weren't worried about what Memphis was doing. Our coaches stuck with our QB through his shaky play and that shows dedication to him and to the plan. It shows our players that the coaches have faith in them to handle the adversity. Not to mention, Nutt didn't want to do anything different and end up showing his hand to the rest of the country.

No he was having a bad game period till it was out of hand for Memphis. Sometimes you do have to change your gameplan. It's called adjustments.
Wrong. Adjustments are moving from zone to man. Or asking the RB to stay more shallow on the wide side screens. Or asking the QB to only use 2 check downs instead of 3 so that the ball comes out quicker when pressured. Changing the plan of attack from balanced (whether it's 1st, 2nd or 3rd to keep them guessing) to heavy run is altering your entire game. It demonstrates a lack of confidence in your QB which is seen by everyone on the team. It would have been the wrong thing to do.
He was average for qtr 1. Horrible for qtr 2. Good for qtr 3. Very good for qtr 4.

I'm thinking back to last year's Vandy game and playing armchair from the 2nd qtr scenario so this is probably gonna continue b/c there is no way see if my way would have worked. We can play if's though. If we all had the crystal ball and knew your defense would have had a pick 6 and had a fumble recovery later in the game. But running the ball more in the 2nd qtr would have not meant abandoning your QB and going to the run then doesn't mean you cannot return to your game plan if it opens things back up and Snead finds his groove. And yes, that is adjustments just like your examples. And yes, sometimes you do still have to change your game plans if it ain't working. BTW, nobody on the team is ever gonna lack confidence in Snead at any time.
