True. We need to improve on offense. Allen needs to continue to mature, O line is improved but needs more, same with the WR position. Play calling needs to improve.
Offense could have done more. Duke catches the ball in the end zone, better blocking, etc. but the question seemed to me to be pick one thing that cost the game. And you can’t just give up 19 points in a row like that.
Who led the team down the field to tie it in regulation? Who put them in position to win in OT before the ridiculous penalty call? He wasn’t perfect of course but you can Take your blame Allen for everything crap and stick it. Defense gave up 19 straights points.
The lateral was dumb. He brings them down to tie with just over a minute left, then brings them down in position to get the winning FG in OT. But he was terrible? Please.
The second half sacks guys weren’t touched. He just needs to dump the ball and take the lost down then. Or God forbid give him a hot read safety valve.
Future is bright but should have won this game. Defense can’t give up 19 points in a row and can’t give up a 3rd and 18. Duke could have made the one end zone catch, Knox throws a block in OT and we get a chip shot to win. Josh made a couple poor decisions. And if Hughes doesn’t get his typical unsportsmanlike we maybe get a TD instead of a FG.
What this game showed me is Allen is the guy. Brought them back to tie and had them there to win in OT without the Ford illegal block that wasn’t.
