Agree Gostangs and Gotcha. Eggheaded call in inappropriate point in game was trickery and what you get when you have coach who has given his best shot with bread and butter O and it continues to fail miserably. Don't great coaches adjust their scheme's to fit their players's abilities. Whether the
Trot & Dribble O is still relevant doesn't matter. We don't have the personnel to run it. But it worked at Hawaii, just doesn't cut it. But all in all I think there are things going on beyond the game plan and play calls.

Maybe JJ had lubricated his senses with some kind of pink lemonade concoction from the Blvd, and made some bad calls? :roll:

I didn't see it but was it similar to when try tried that with Hunt? Why not use Bradley Haynes?

It was the same as the former play to Hunt. This time they had Hunt wide left and Thompson right. Correct call or not, throw was thrown very inappropriately low and short.
