We should've been far more aggressive in the middle 8 too. If we come away with scores on the last possession of the 1st half and first possession of the second half, it's game over
They ran the clock at the end of the 1st half because Sayin was flustered and they were likely to give the ball back to Indiana rather than score. I can’t remember the 1st drive of the 2nd half but I think it failed due to OL rather than aggressiveness.
I’ve wanted more tempo, but
@Jaxbuck is right, uou don’t want to be too knee jerk after a close loss against #2. Especially when your star QB had his first ‘bad’ game where he was hesitating and not seeing the field well. They’ve used situational tempo and will probably use that more, but it’s not who they are and we won’t see a ton of it.
The key is getting Sayin to understand what Indiana was doing and go to work with the OL. Their defense put a lot on tape and I think that can be of great benefit to a smart, young QB. We already saw good 2nd half adjustments against their great game plan, so it’s up to Sayin and the OL to now be ready from jump.
