Who's offense was that!!??

2 Qtr
rush over right end for loss of 1 yard

Was the 1 yard loss on 4th and 1 Lydell's fault or the O-Line? Just curious as to everyone's perception.

It was whoever who was supposed to block that guy's fault... the at the point of attack the line had pushed past the 1st down marker.

it was whoever called the play's fault.

you need 1 yard on fourth down.....you dont hand the ball off 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage. that just doesnt make sense. a play fake wouldve been a better call then that. hell.......a fumblerooski wouldve been better

Agreed! (Except the fumblerooski part)

That play should've been a QB sneak. If we can't get one yard behind Mangold against Cincitucky, there's a problem. We should be able to pick up one, even with eight at the line, anytime we want.

...Also notice who was more consistent during the 4Q against a "worn out defense".

Pittmans rushing 4Q
Rush up the middle for 1 yard
Rush over right end for 21 yards
Rush over right guard for 2 yards
Rush over right tackle for -1 yards
Rush over left end for 38 yards

Well, that's 61 yards on five carries.

Here's Ross' 4Q stats:

rush over left end for 9 yards
rush over left end for 6 yards
rush up middle for 8 yards
rush over right tackle for 1 yard
rush up middle for 13 yards​

That's 37 yards on five carries. I know you mean that Ross' consistency meant first down after first down (and I agree), but so did Pittman's (running for 21 after running for 1 yard, and running for 38 after running for 2 and -1 yards will keep possession also).

I'll take the extra 24 yards, thank you very much.

Also, Pittman seemed to attack the line and didn't show hesitation. He's going to seriously challenge Ross for the starting job by mid-season.

After last season, it's a welcome change to have 2 backs get good numbers.
