My only problem with that scenario is that I don't want us to be trailing (AGAIN) with 8 seconds left. Been there too many times in the past.At the 1:38-ish mark, Coach Holgorsen harps about the value of practicing "routine plays, routine plays, routine plays" to the point they eventually become big plays.
This morning I watched a Mike Leach biography that came up on my YouTube feed. As we've heard, Leach and our OC coached together at Texas Tech and elsewhere and became tight friends.
The biography told the story of a Texas Tech practice when Leach decided on the spur of the moment to spend practice running 'Go routes' over and over and over again. Trouble was, his WRs ran so many of them again and again and again that they were getting seriously gassed. It got to the point where one his coaches became so worried that he approached Leach and said, "Coach, you can't keep doing this." Leach reportedly responded, "Why not?"
Later that same season, Tech needed a TD trailing Texas with the ball at midfield with 8 seconds left in the game. They pulled off a "miraculous" game-winning TD on that last play of the game by running a Go route.
GO BIG RED!!!
