Well if UW had scored on the first play? Maybe. From what I saw tonight USC could not move the ball through the air quickly.
I guess analyzing the down and distance before a 3rd or 4th and long allows you more time to figure what you think Washington will do and counter it. I’m not sure when I wrote that. I realized it was 4th down
but I think the way the game was winding down that the game was being decided right there. I’m a little surprised that with the Washington quarterbacks inconsistency and a shorter field to work with that they threw the ball into the end zone on fourth down. It was fourth and 10 or 11 I think if I recall correctly the ball was on the 22 yard line
I just would think that USC would probably be playing deep and there was a lot of room to hit a 10 to 15 yard pass at about 10 pick up the first down and at that point you’re Washington you have about 40 seconds left maybe 45 you either spike the ball and have 35 seconds left and one time out which allows you to run four or five passing plays, depending on whether you are inside the town or not
I don’t know- obviously it worked out for USC
