I would be curious what
@slattimer thinks of this, but to me that just screams to the coach trying to be cute when we get into short yardage situations. Trying to show off how smart he is rather than knowing the goal and executing.
Think last year I believe it was against Rutgers where we ran the TE shovel pass that the Chiefs do with Kelce. Pieper gets blown up and the play is a loss. Or two years ago, Older brother Daniels picks off a pass and we calla shovel passes on the goal line.
Watch Cockeyes in this situation. If it is 3rd and 2 or less I bet they run a QB sneak a lot. How much simpler can you get?
To me that goes back to attitude behind the offense. We aren't talking about Ohio State, Cockeyes, Wisconsin or NW... We are talking about Rutgers and Purdue and we are getting cute? You have Mills and a 220lbs QB and you are getting cute?
