Heard a U Free sound bite this morning, which kind of put a little different perspective on things from this past Saturday. Somebody on here may have mentioned this already, but that doesn't matter, because I only read 32%, or 114/470th of everyone else's stuff.
U was asked about the change in play calling in the 2nd half, and he actually kind of called the reporters out. He said, (Paraphrasing) I see what you guys write, and your opinions on how things went down in the second half. But do you know how many possessions we had in the 3rd quarter? One! And what did we do with it? We had a nice drive and got points out of it.
We had 3 possessions in the 4th quarter. The first one started at the 3 yard line, and we were up 3 scores. He went on to talk about the other possessions and how deep in their own territory they were, the defense MSU was playing and the fact they were still up 2 scores at that point. Like a lot of people, I was scratching my head at them seemingly going into a shell, but it made sense.
They needed a win. Period!
