Playoff football makes the regular season insanely boring around here because we know before the game starts who we can run our base package against and dominate and who we might have to get more creative with. When we played SDSU the first time around I do believe we showed just enough to win the game while keeping so much in our back pocket for Friday night. First time I thought we could have run at will on them and we really put it to them last night. I think the coaches knew that first time around and didn't want to tip their hand for game 2.
Also I love the creative play calls that happen when the season is on the line and we played and coached like this was the biggest game of the season. I listened to the 1st quarter on the radio and Phil said the first wheel route we had never run like that before. The TD pass to Bruce I don't believe we've run that either. And I might be wrong but Easton's huge run for a TD was the same play that Brock scored on against GSU and that might be the first time we've run it that way since that game.
