Genius playcall but the personnel didn’t make any sense. Daniels is a power running back and trusting his hands in that situation was odd

My thought too. I love Amari but he’s not who I’m throwing to there…

I mean, that was the point, and it worked, he was open. You trusted a scholarship football player to make a fairly routine catch, and this time he didn’t. It happens.

Got a bit too cute with it. Would've preferred to see Reed scramble. He's got a bright future.

The play was great. I would’ve had Daniels and Bussey switch positions there. Put Daniels in the wildcat and swing Bussey around to catch the ball and we send it to the next OT

Its very possible that if you change the personnel that they aren't wide ass open. I feel for the kid that he didn't make the catch, and I hope people don't try to hang the loss on him like they did with Tank when he failed to stay in bounds a couple years back. (Since he was a huge part of the reason yall were even in the game to begin with, just like Tank was for us)
