Yeah, I felt better after reading this "Head coach Mike Riley said the play call "had other options" aside from the fade route to Brandon Reilly that Armstrong chose. As later replays showed, one of those options was a wide-open tight end Cethan Carter in the left flat for what almost certainly would have been a first down."Just shows that the play was well designed and Tommy decided to go all super man again.
I have a little more faith in the coaching staff after seeing this.
I actually don't really care about the actual playcall. But I saw far too many times Langsdorf calling pass plays on second/third/fourth and short this year. It's ridiculous and now I understand why Riley got fed up with him at Oregon St and pulled his play calling duties away.Yeah, I felt better after reading this "Head coach Mike Riley said the play call "had other options" aside from the fade route to Brandon Reilly that Armstrong chose.

I still think we should have run the ball there, but man, Tommy's mistakes are ones the coaches obviously believe a reasonable quarterback wouldn't make.
