And I would love to hear their post game thoughts and their breakdown of that play also. Maybe in a few years they will share at a camp or something. |
Yeah I would think/hope that this one play is not going to impact either one beyond losing a couple of Big 12 games this year.
And I just watched the play again during halftime of the IU-Minnesota game. I think it boils down to positioning. Neither the L or C worked to get a good angle on the play and it cost them big time in terms of not having a needed whistle. Then Smith compounds it by putting the kid on the line with a very marginal call after passing on a collision.
But we all know things look different from different angles. I think the C has no idea about the LGP status of the secondary defender b/c he couldnt even see him and the L had a poor angle and guess he did not appreciate exactly how much the offense went through the defender.
