Two of the INTs were very bad passes. The "blind" pass was thrown flat right to the DL. The 4th down pass was a very poor decision. He would have been better off taking a chance deep or throwing into the ground than throwing it where he did. With just 20 seconds on the clock, the only way we give RU a chance to win in regulation is to make the throw he did. I honestly thought they were going to win right there with a FG after the INT.

I bet if you asked him, he would probably say all 3 were bad passes, even though the one on the goal line was bad luck as it hit the WR in the hands and it popped up. But, if he had put a little more touch on it or led the WR a little bit more, it likely wouldn't have resulted in a pick.

The situations when the INTs were thrown just magnified the mistakes, however. 1st and goal at the 5, just maintain ball control and get some points and the game is over. The first INT, right after a big play on D that forced a TO, seemed to deflate the D and fire up RU's D. Ball control in that situation, where we're already in FG position, and we get points there and win the game.  I already talked about the last INT on the 4th down (I thought we should have been punting in that situation anyway).
