I do not agree with Ryan Day's slow tempo style trying to limit possessions, it leaves minimal room for error (almost zero). I prefer more possessions, not less. We should be trying to maximize our talent & opportunities to persevere. Ryan Day aimed for another 12min kill the clock drive in the 4th qtr to end the game like he did last wk against Michigan. Problem is we were not up by 3 scores this time, we were down by 3 points! Gotta play with some urgency & maximize possessions when trailing, playing for 1 final drive with 12min left when you are losing is just flatout foolish.

I have no idea why he thinks running a slow as molasses offense is a fresh cutting edge approach to CFB? Day played with fire & was finally burnt. We needed more possessions last night in the 4th qtr, not less. Should've played with some some urgency & tried to give himself a couple more cracks at it instead of limiting himself to 1 hopeful drive.
