one of the big plays was after the WMU first score we had this 2nd and 5. I have to believe the coaches have some reason to run this play and not check out of it. or at least slow play it so that the entire WMU D is sitting where Adams wants to go. Since both WR missed their blocks as well it was almost a 1 on 5 play as he would have gotten to the corner.

the WR were not running routs to clear the wide side so I dont know why they would expect this play to ever work as nothing is going to pull the DE or the OLB in this coverage. Now if he 3 WR had actually run routs then you could throw the swing pass to a 1-1 spot and perhaps a big gain.. With the DE slanted to the wide side and LB behind it very hard to see this play every working even if the WR made blocks. now if Tommy were to slow play it abit and you were pulling the LT/LG maybe you could make this play work.

Wasn't this the Moe Neal play where we lost the fumble?

I wonder what would have happened if Tommy faked the toss and ran left. Assuming Taj could block his guy, it was one guy to beat.
 
bad play call considering the defensive alignment. 5 defenders on the side of the play and only 3 blockers.
