I was trying to wrap my head around how bad an offensive gameplan Brian came up with against Michigan and it finally dawned on me the comparison.
It’s like being on the opposing team’s 43 yard line, down two points with one second left in the fourth quarter.
You are facing a sixty yard field goal to win the game and you know your kicker doesn’t have the leg for more than a 50 yarder.
You absolutely know that sending the kicking team out there will result in losing the game but at least you won’t look stupid.
The only chance at a victory is to send out the offense and try something, literally anything: a hook and ladder, Hail Mary, a play designed just begging the refs to throw a flag and move into field goal range.
But Brian (and Kirk) just sent out the kicker. A fitting ending.
