“Wouldn’t change anything,” Gill said of the 4th down call. “I’m glad that we went for it, got to be aggressive, got to do things to help our chance for our team to win. That’s what I thought best and I wouldn’t change anything.”Pickett was averaging 8 yards per carry.
Offensive coordinator Joe Dailey agreed with that assessment. “I thought it was a solid call by Coach Gill for us to go for it. We were all, as a program, fired up and excited to go for it again in our own territory. I wouldn’t change anything about the play, the play call. The gentleman who made a break on the football did a phenomenal job. I thought we had the right play, whether we handed it off or we threw it out there. There was leverage to throw it, and they had 1 more guy in the box than we had to be able to account for and block it up. So, we were good with the decision for him to throw the ball. Talented football players can read and recognize things and make a play, and that’s what he did.”

Early third quarter down 7.
Buried deep in our own end; lets say 14 yard line.
Punt will most likely put them on their 40.
Maybe give up three or hold.
Naw, let's go for it to show how much we want to win.
I am not with the crowd that feels this was a good call.
But, I am not paid to make those decisions.
I would love to see us keep this close or even pull an upset but the real world swirling around me tells me different.
I just hope our boys don't need too many ice baths and will be ready for the rematch.

Just so yall know, a grouping of eagles is actually called a convocation. Not even kidding.
