Agreed...and neither team should until the clock reads 0:00. I GUARANTEE that we would've run the ball up the gut had you guys stayed in base defense. But when the defense blitzes 8-9, don't get mad when the offense throws the ball.

Consider this analogy...in basketball, if a team is down big but still runs a full-court press with a few minutes left, do you expect the other team to just have the point guard bring the ball up on his own, get trapped, and turn the ball over repeatedly?
