Shock ready on the sidelines. Hip flexor stretching earlier.

Speaking of screen pass, would be nice to see something out of the backfield but looks like we are sticking to the run since it's been working this half.

Kendal's play calling inside the 10 has been AWFUL

Running Russell near the goal line? Really? Bounce it outside, they know we're coming up the middle. Or give it to our TE, McGowen style

Can't believe this play calling inside the 10. Callahan, don't screw up.

Why take out Williams?
Life is just a leap of faith. Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape.

Williams hurt? shock hurt?

2 straight possessions inside the 20 and we only come away w/ only 3 pts.

We could be up 19 right now not to be greedy.

There's zero excuse for not attempting a pass there or at minimum an RPO.
Hob Howelll

Terrible play calling. Seth and Terrence are carrying the offense. Kendal is not head coach material right now
lancebu

Williams didn't look hurt unless he got dinged. You can't have Hasty in there on goal line if Williams is healthy. It makes zero sense.
