It was 3rd down with the sticks in his sites approaching the scoring area in the quarterfinals. It's not like he took that hit trying to get an extra yard against Portland State in early October.
Agreed. And the last time he slid by the sideline (bobcats?) in front of Hauck, he got his ass chewed.

He would've gotten chewed out on this one for sure. That yard was so important that Bobby still went for it with his backup QB.

That’s the part that’s irritating. I think the coaches discourage sliding. Which is ridiculous.
Coaches making players slide is getting them hurt. If you just hit the guy you will be fine when you give yourself up is when injuries happen

I’m not going to lie. I’m a little irritated that cam did that. Totally should have slid. I know that’s me being an armchair QB, but that was our entire season for a single first down. The risk reward wasn’t there. Coaches need to keep the tape and use it to warn other QBs. Playing smart isn’t just about protecting the ball, it’s also about protecting yourself.

He slid short against the Cats and got an earful. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t, I guess.
 
Griz excel at second half adjustments, might not be much to work with without a downfield threat, but if anyone can scheme something up, it's griz.

obviously the situation of the play needs to be taken into account, it's not a black or white thing like you are making it

You truly are the dullest crayon in the box.

Did we stop the clock to get the ball back just to run the clock out? Asking for a friend....

psychological warfare, don't question it

Seems like we were hoping to spring a punt return and maybe get in field goal range. And if not no harm, no foul. Seems reasonable to me when you’re fighting for your season.

I saw that. I disagree with hauck there. You protect your best players as best you can. In the QBs case that is coaching them to slide and live to play another down. It’s done now, and that’s that. I guess I’m a douche for thinking a QB should slide rather than fling himself at safeties, linebackers and corners.
