Kelly had an interesting break down of some of the play calls on the pod this week.
On the goal line sequence: first play was a RPO, as someone mentioned on here. If handed off it’s probably a TD. I would have went run on the next play, so disagree with that play call. On the third play, Behymer was open and would have been WIDE open if Jerry didn’t rush it. Overall though, I think we all agree we need to see some runs.
The 4th and 1 play call wasn’t great. Don’t mind going for it, but Kelly thought they were screwed from the start with the formation/play call they were in. They basically went with a goal line formation. NDSU had so many guys in the box. It’s such a big moment in the game and didn’t appear to get the look they wanted. In that situation either: A. Have a second play called which I’m sure they did, B. Take the delay of game, C. Call timeout once you don’t get the look you were expecting. The play was immediately blown up and never had a chance.
