Someone please explain this to me, because I just don't get it: I watched with stunned disbelief when A.J. Ouellette lined up so deep behind Nathan Rourke when Ohio was second-and-one for the go-ahead touchdown late in the game. I absolutely couldn't believe it! Ouellette lined up that way the previous play and ran the ball to the one. I'm expecting two (or three) quarterback sneaks from under center, or hands offs from tight backfield formations.
The ONLY opportunity Cincy had to blow up a play was if Ohio lined the back up deep. Yet we did it again! So will someone please explain this to me? I really don't get it. A missed block and a defender gets you for a three-yard loss in the backfield. Why did we give them the opportunity to do the ONLY thing that could blow up our spot?
As Lt. Columbo would say, one more thing: on the third-and-three at the end of the third quarter, anyone know why Julian Ross was in the game to run up the middle, being that moving the pile certainly isn't his thing? Just askin'.
