“Two point plays are special plays”

I hope Gus learned something tonight. Going for 2 when its not necessary is not usually a good call. It could have really cost us tonight

I keep saying that every year.

I just don't get it? Take the fricking points when you can. There is no reason for chasing points when you think you are better than your opponent.

He tried to pull some BS stuff when we played Clemson the last few times. Both games his decisions probably cost us the game. He tries to get too cute at times when it isn't necessary. Take the points then put your D on the field and turn them loose.

I have not been critical.

The throw to Canella was well designed.
Isolated a big guy on a small guy.

The two point plays:

1. The first one was unnecessary
2. The second took the ball out of our best passers hand.

Those are facts.

Washington is a well coached team, but we made it hard for ourselves at times.

Also, Cam Martin is not the answer at RB as the bell cow.

Nate Craig Myers was utilized.

Seth Williams was involved.

If Malik reads it correctly and throws it to the flat everybody would be happy. It's easy to critic plays when the players don't execute them correctly.

I think I agree with that. Would've been nice if I could've saw a replay to really look at it.


Second call was bullshite though

Why go for a cheap 2 point play up 6 to 0 against a top 10 team?

At least he didn’t spin around before throwing

Using the fullback on the two point play late was incredible, but ole Gus is saving our best two point play for later. It is a punt formation with Derrick Brown deep and Stidham playing right guard. Brown will twirl, then hand ball back to Tucker Brown who will fake a handoff to Marquel Harrell. Then Tucker will lateral the ball back to Make Horton who will throw it to the back up punter at the 2 yard line who will lateralto Prince Wanagho. Then Prince will run option and pitch to Stidham who will pitch to Derrick Brown who willl score.

I am not a fan of the swinging gate, but the holder has a presnap read that determines whether or not to kick it. My guess is when we brought the guy in motion UW didn't adjust so we snapped it. Malik needed only to throw the ball to the flat for it to have worked. IMO Malik panicked, which isn't a good sign for a guy who is the #2 QB.

Saying the play was called is likely not correct. Malik was given the freedom to audible from a PAT to a 2 point try based on UW's alignment.

Then have Stidham hold extra points IF we are going to “read” the defense.

It’s silly to not take an almost sure point at that juncture of the game.

Maybe I’m wrong about the situational aspects of the audible.

I think going up 7 to 0 is pedestrian, but makes it where you don’t have to chase the point later.
