Griz should mix it up more on first down

[Maxim]

I realize we were trying to milk the clock in the second half but we ran it up the middle almost every time on first down for minimal gains. We actually do that a lot on first down and it did let the cats back in the game. I hope we stay aggressive with our passing attack in the playoffs and pass more on first to keep the d honest.

You don't milk the clock for an entire half of football, especially against a great offense who can score quickly. Stitt ran up the middle on first and second down on every possession in the third quarter and only when he allowed the Cats back into the game, did he go back to running his offense, which IMMEDIATELY put more points on the board and throttled any thoughts the Cats had of winning.

Lies again. I realize you don't even care at this point, but you've been back about an hour and already you're spouting complete bullshit.

UM had exactly TWO possessions in the 3rd quarter.

1st possession first two plays were 4 yard rush and 3 yard rush
2nd possession first two plays were 3 yard rush and 13 yard pass
3rd possession had ONE play (a run) and that was the end of the quarter.
