Strange coaching decisions I saw tonight:
Page ran it down the rebels throats early, but rather than stick with it decided to throw long? no explanation that makes sense to me, but West's #6 sure benefitted from the repeat decision again and again.
Page went for on fourth down on their own 20 while they had a lead. Rebels set up with a goal line defense and make the stop and the get the points. Foreshadowing.
West late, still holds the lead... were there 8 minutes left? They threw on all three downs when they could have eaten more clock.
Page went for it fourth in the fourth when they could have taken a chip shot FG to put them within 2. I thought at the time that they should kick it because they'd make a stop and get a chance at the winning FG.
In the second half page burned their first two timeouts for know apparent reason and then they used the last way too early.
I also really didn't understand why page pulled the starting QB late. the wildcat was an okay option, but you had to know those should have been throwing downs. Did the Senior QB end the game on the bench? I thought so.
I have to say when I saw the coin toss I thought page had it locked up. They had a bigger more powerful line. The qb hardly ever got touched. page ran it when they wanted (except against that west goal line d.) Why didn't they stick with their strengths?
one of the most exciting finals i've ever seen.
