so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?Why is all or nothing on the first play the right call?
I can't wait to hear this one. Derail the Frogs!
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?
Do you really expect the coach to come on to ponyfans and answer that question. Any answer from any one else is BS. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

"All or nothing" "All out" "All grit" /No Hate. Just Facts. Occasional sarcasm.

No, I don't expect JJ to respond to this personally. But given that I work and can't listen to every presser, I was hoping that when he responds to this obvious question someone will post his reponse. Derail the Frogs!

Ah...my mistake. Perhaps someone will ask Jones that question. If my memory serves me correctly, Willis made a very similar play in over time...perhaps our last game of the Bennet era with the same results...or perhaps it was a fumble. We don't do well in over time situations. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

No, we aren't much of an OT team. We are now 1-9 with the only win coming against Tulsa in 2004
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?That stat really doesn't work as it's different every year with new personnel and coaches etc...in the pros it may work as the team may be a more consistant but not in college, just another worthless stat to ponder on....hopefully the current team doesn't know this....
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?because our OT games are usually when we've had a complete meltdown and have let the other team back in it. can't remember when we actually staged a comeback to force OT
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?June Jones called a pass play, a progressive read, four options (receivers), it was Bo who chose to go for it. June always stated that each and every play can go for a TD (catch and run after catch) if executed properly but the qb and receiver got to make the right read of the defense.
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?i hope he didnt mean, a TD for the other team as well
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?
Well, we all know what happens when it doesn't work out as planned. Derail the Frogs!
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?
Well put. This is my recollection. Meltdowns are our legacy.
Re: so, why exactly didn't we run Shawnbrey in OT?
Great question, I was at the game and we were all talking about giving it to Shawnbrey or using ES on the short 5-7 yd passes that had worked all game because the MO had definitely shifted to WSU...when he rared back and threw across field into thiple coverage, we all looked at each other stonefaced with a what tha S### is he doing.. When he trotted off the field, and got back to the sideline, JJ grabbed his jersey like in son, what were you thinking ?.... dont think it was JJ's called play Life after Death (Penalty)
