Just don't understand RPO on extremely short yardage downs, you run the risk of ineligible player down field. Maybe I'm "old school" but I think you line up under center and give the ball to your RB. Maybe if Z was healthy that would've been the play call.
This. I thought when we pressured Johnson he made some terrible throws, I didn't like when we decided to go in prevent mode that final K-State drive. Make him get the ball out of his hands quick. It was successful all game.
Would've loved for him to call a pass when Klieman called the time out before the 2 minute warning. Also was expecting maybe some different packages with JTJ, especially late when they were trying to ice the game, an RPO where the TE leaks out in the flat where you don't have to worry about an incompletion and the clock stopping.
