Dumbest thing Utah did was when it was 21-14 and they had gotten to midfield after 2 big runs and they went with a pass on 1st and 10 and Barnes got sacked. After that, they have been able to do nothing. How did they not realize how well the run was working and just keep going to that?

Or let the QB scramble as a last resort.

Trying to keep our defense off balance? Not necessarily a poor decision, but the execution was a failure.

Reward The Big Red Dog by getting a pass to little brother.
Then get inside the 5 and get him a running TD.

So happy for Clifford! Doubt he’d do it, but Franklin should give him a curtain call and pull him mid-drive and put Allar in.

But why overthink it? Make us stop the run because we hadn't exactly showed much in that direction.

🤷‍♂️ the game plan probably wasn't designed for the backup. Rising probably hits a TE for 20 or scrambles for 7+.
