[QUOTE="RabidDawgClassic, post: 1953686, member: 748042"] I’m really disappointed with the decision to defer to the second half, but not choose to go with the wind in the fourth quarter. Yes, I know you end up giving your opponent the ball at the beginning of both halves, but big picture, you’re setting yourself up for one of two lousy outcomes: 1. You’ve either got to come from behind late into the wind, affecting passing and kicking or… 2. You’ve got to try to nurse a lead in the fourth quarter, affecting passing and effectively making your offense one dimensional. We succumbed to the latter today. Just as we did last year at Michigan against a stiff fourth quarter wind. In the fourth quarter last year against Michigan State we had to try to come from behind against a swirling fourth quarter wind. How do these coaches not get that the wind to your back is imperative in these situations? [/QUOTE]
