[QUOTE="Bootheel Illini, post: 1662626, member: 748468"] Coaches make the decisions and the team runs the plays. When Purdon't changed QBs, they moved the ball very well through the air and could have added 2 TDs except for the turnovers. BB should have accounted for the fact that Purdon't would ramp up their passing game even more to try and win the game when he punted on 4th and 2. McCray was getting good yardage on every carry but was not in the game for the 3 downs right before the punt. He was put in the game specifically for that 4th down play but BB called the TO and changed the play to a punt, so the offense was not even given the chance to get the 1st down and win the game. Instead BB willingly handed Purdon't the chance to WIN the game, and with the help of a very loose pass defense, they did just that. The team had their 3rd loss last week against Maryland because BB used the exact same strategy with the same result. We need to try and win these games by not being so scared of losing, which we wound up doing anyway--who knows, McCray might have gotten 3 yards and a 1st down or even a touchdown. BB needs to let the team try to win. The game was Illinois to lose and they did just that. [/QUOTE]
