Sheridans play calling was bad. And Womacks wasn’t much better.
But Allen is the one that sets or approves the overall game plan strategy. And it was terrible on both sides of the ball.
Not running the ball more, against the worst run defense we‘ll have played all year... it’s unjustifiable. And then not adjusting after it should have become obvious that the original plan of quick hitting out wide to Philyor and Fryfogle wasn’t working, at all...again, unjustifiable. Then going away from the run when we get near the red zone in a potential game winning drive...you got it, unjustifiable.
Defense...we did hold them to 26 points. But they missed some kicks. And were challenging in our half of the field nearly every possession. They had most of their position guys out. Yet we played conservative, on our heels, giving them space underneath all game. That isn’t our identity, and it goes against what has been successful against the full strength Ole Miss, let alone the shell that played us.
So, why in THE HELL, in the planning meetings, and/or in the game, didn’t Allen fix it?
Great season stained at the end with a horrible coaching performance across the board.
