I dont think we had to score 42 points in the 2nd half but I also thought the playcalling was way too conservative.
One nice drive early in the 3rd Qtr where the hawks were still using the whole playbook, get a TD to extend the lead and then work on another score.
I think it was in the 3rd Qtr when Jake missed KMM in the gap between cornerback and safety and that could have been a huge play. It could have been housed or at least a needed first down. But that play was about the only decent pass play that seemed to be called in the 3rd qtr.
I just never feel safe with KF's teams unless they have a 3-4 score lead. The nature of this coaching staff is to go conservative. Heck even with a 24 point lead IU showed how quick it can be shaved to a 16 point lead a things get queasy.
Mich St shut it down last week and almost blew it. Mich st almost blew it yesterday.
What kind of offensive play calling can be safe for KF but still grind out first downs like we needed in the 3rd qt?
