The read option buys time with a weak o-line. That split second during the hand off defenses have to freeze their lbs to adjust, not only against the two possible runs but against the play action.
The coaching was fine. Clearly a lot of folks don't know anything about football on here. When the difference in the score is turnovers and a botched review, your scheme did its job.
The defensive scheme worked really well and the offensive scheme was hampered by the line. There is not an offense in football that would have made our line better. If we ran the pro form, we wouldn't have moved the ball at all and Worley would be dead right now.
One last thing, a year ago that game is humiliating. Two years ago it would have been the end of our season. This year we fought a great team for sixty minutes and lost. We have to okay more great teams and we may lose some more games, but the days of rolling over and quitting are over.
