This is the beginning of the dynasty DAG. Breathe it in, brother! It’s not about wins and losses anymore. It’s about how dominant we look.

Yes, in real time it seemed super conservative.  But when you look at the actual drives and situations they came in, I don't think so.

I couldn't agree more.  I was initially a little irritated but once I reviewed the big picture of the actual drives, I realized that the offensive play calling wasn't near as conservation as it had earlier appeared.  

Here's something to think about:  if we would have lost the game because of aggressive play calling and it would have cost us a post-season bowl appearance, at the end of the season many folks would be questioning why the play calling wasn't more conservative against MSU.

Sometimes folks have nothing better to do than analyze & criticize.  A four-game losing streak had folks in a mood for a full month, it's hard to get out of a rut like that.

It was correct to be conservative in the 4th quarter possessions.  However, it had nothing to do with their D.  It did have everything to do with field position.

I think the only problem with fans is,,, the memory of Gus going up 2 or 3 scores and then,,, going into the "don't lose" shell.  The emotional scars may never heal.

I was of the mindset that one play-action pass on first down might have opened the field more. But that's just me.
