Best run I've ever seen. Easily. Most exciting play probably has to be the 100 yard fumble return to beat Baylor in...2000? 2001?Definitely the most exciting play I can ever remember while watching a UNLV football game.
Kind of interesting: we had two huge plays on the heels of potentially momentum-swinging plays.
In the 2nd quarter, Darren Woods Jr. goes down with an ugly injury further depleting an already thin receiving corps. I think everyone in the building expected the offense to pound the ball after Woods was helped off the field. Instead, Coach Cotton made his best play call of the night, IMO, with a hard play action and Sneed hit a wide open Trosclair for a 60 yard TD.
Then the Sneed run in the 3rd quarter came on the heels of a big reversal call where it was originally ruled FSU ball on a catch-and-fumble. Just a huge individual effort (along with some nice blocks on the sideline) on a broken play and he was gone.
One nice playcall and one huge effort swung momentum in our favor in crucial moments.
In general, Cotton is more predictable than I'd like. On top of that, I don't think he uses Boyd enough. There were SO many times last night that Boyd was single covered without safety help. We threw 2 deep passes to him. One catch, one drop/breakup. The fact that we didn't do it AT ALL against Idaho is the biggest reason we lost the game, IMO.
I agree that there has been more problems with execution than play calling on offense this year.
Boyd has been disappointing. He has drops on catchable balls in pretty much every game since the first.
WR injuries have been tough. Crazy how deep that position seemed and its quickly melting away.
I agree that we should be taking more shots. Stevenson's hands have been atrocious. Hopefully we see more stability in the WRs. Also the more reps that Sneed gets with the 1's should help their chemistry.
