Absolute coaching disasterclass in the fourth quarter:

- Conservative play calling leading to back to back 3-and-outs

  • Not just letting Texas score as soon as they got to the 1 yd line

Edit: Also, Day inexplicably continues to gameplan around our ability to successfully make FGs

Ryan Day coaches like such a coward for someone with that much talent on his roster

I have said this for years. He was saved because James Franklin did the same shit but with a worse team.

He was saved because the expanded playoffs allowed him to blow two games and still get into the bracket.

Yeah, we shift the expanded playoff back 1 year and he's somewhere else as a HC or OC rn

And saved by Chip Kelly not having to recruit.

Even with the expanded playoffs he'd choke to Oregon if it weren't for Kellly
