Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 4378964, member: 225"] It actually didn't surprise me that Dino left Sean in to get the record. It is one of those decisions that usually works out, but if he gets injured it totally blows up in your face. Why we had to risk an injury with Garrett, when they could have put a cheerleader behind center just to have them hand off...well, that is a different question. This isn't the usual situation where a powerhouse leaves the starters in for a series; it was a situation where both coaches had already agreed to shorten the game. There are a lot of teams that would have felt that SU was "urinating" in their faces by leaving the big guns in and would have been more than happy to get tossed from the game in exchange for inflicting serious injury on our stars in the pile. It has happened to us a time or two in years gone by. We are lucky that Wagner was either too polite or too inept to do the same thing. So they were chasing a record for Tucker. We all know that so don't give me the nonsense about trying out the halftime adjustments. We outgained them about 34500000000000000000 yards to -400 in the first half and we could have scored one more time before the half ended. What were we adjusting to? Did we expect the Wagner seniors to add up their credits at halftime, take their diplomas, and grab an Uber back to Staten Island before the 3rd Q and were surprised when it didn't happen? Their seniors came back out to finish the game? Wow, that was unexpected so we had better adjust to that! I assume that Dino didn't want to appear to be unsporting by saying that we were trying to get a record for a guy against a team that was probably about as demoralized as you can get. So he threw in the part about making adjustments. We dodged a major, major bullet though. [/QUOTE]
