I was really bummed with Coach Wilcox's decision making in this game. Sometimes you have to stop being aggressive and take the easy points. Sometimes, when you are up by 12 points with 40 seconds to go until the half, you should take the lead to the locker room instead of going for the killshot. Sometimes, with 40 seconds to go until the half it's better to play prevent than get beat on a running play while your 2nd level is blitzing or fitting the wrong gaps, which allows the opposing team to score on a long run. Opposing coordinators are realizing that Coach Wilcox goes for the aggressive play, and they factor that into their play calling....and we lost as a result. It all started with getting sideways about a bad snap and missing a PAT. We were chasing that damn point for the rest of the game, even when we were leading.
