Agree completely. That’s a weakness. Don’t throw out baby with bath water. 10-3 against #1 toughest schedule and inexperienced offense.
Last I checked we were not #1. Is E the baby in this scenario? If so, I say throw out the water, tub, sponges, towel and anything else he touched. Sadly he will be back next year doing same predictable playcalling. We are lucky that UCF rec cant catch and DBs cant mug all day long they did first half.
If nothing else, going for 3 runs and a punt was definitely right on the last drive. With the way UCF was playing, that's a ~99% win. It's not like they needed a field goal to win. They needed to drive the entire field and get a two point conversion in ~40 seconds just to tie, and a first down was just a win.
They did that just before the onside kick, maybe taking a lil longer but still. They were very close to getting ATM2.0
