Crompton 2nd down decision

[hatvol96]

i agree. the kid was trying to make a play. i want guys in the game like that. however, i think the problem was he failed to understand the situation.

It depends on what he was changing the play to. If it was a deep pass down the middle, that would have had essentially the same effect as a punt.

It probably would have been a good idea to try and get the first down. They way our defense was bending over for Syvelle Newton, I didn't want the Cocks to have any more possessions.

when you pass, 3 things can happen and only one of them is good.

how do we know he wasn't simply calling a different running play? it could have (and probably was a run directly up the gut) and he was calling a play to the outside or something. I like that kind of guts

Except that you leave about 40 or so more seconds on the clock :whistling:

I like freshman who let the coaches decide how the game is going to end.

Too bad he can't hand the keys to his car off when he's drunk.

Jim Bob Cooter, you mean the 5th year senior who has never recieved a snap? :fool:

my hats off to the guy. he was just doing what coach cut teaches him. yeah you run the ball in that situation, but he saw the defense & knew he could get a first down throwing. hes gonna be good & gutty.

Absolutely!!

Curiosity killed the cat but I would like to have seen the play run.

Crompton went to an automatic check off, which would have been a fade. That's what Fulmer said. CPF said he did the right thing, but that they didn't want that play in that situation. It wasn't Crompton's fault.

I admire Cromton that he was not scared and believed in his arm. I am ok with that.
