We do need to let Dak throw the ball on short yardage.

Absolutely no reason to do it today though.

Why do it in a game we had well in hand so other defenses can scout it? I agree we need to do it, but no way should we have pulled it out yet this season.

Tyler also needs to hold on to an option read once in awhile

He gives it up every time and the whole D goes after the back.

Maybe we're doing it and being so predictable for a reason...

Wouldn't be surprised to see a fake run and then pass in a situation in which we need it.

Same thing as Dak throwing the football when he comes in.

I can remember one time he's kept it, and that was in the Troy game where we needed a big conversion late and he got like 15 yards out of it. But no need to do it unless we need to. At this point in the season the option part of the read option is clearly not in our plans to run much, so no need to give teams a look at Tyler keeping the ball on it.
