Truly a forgettable night for Chryst:
- the interception thrown with 1:14 left in the half on our own 21 was such a terrible decision to make (throwing into an area with 4 defenders) when we were leading 7-3 (and we totally didn't deserve to be leading at that point)
- SDSU then gifts us 30 yards on penalties to get us into field goal range, and he doesn't feel the backside pressure, and fumbles instead of kicking the FG to tie it at half (another big momentum swing for SDSU)
- he had been overthrowing the deep ball all day, notably missed Kaden Smith on a TE corner route that was a TD
- then he starts underthrowing, and throws the seam route into the dirt to a 6'7" TE Parkinson and badly underthrows the Hail Mary to JJAW
We only had 3 possessions (out of 12) that were more than 3 plays the entire night! All of those possessions happened in the 2nd half. The 3 converted third downs were all runs on 3rd and 1. The other 3rd and 1 we had was where Scarlett was stuffed, and was obviously where we went for a FG instead of trying to get that 4th and 1. That was our longest drive of 8 plays, and this was also the drive where Chryst cut in front of Love to try to make a block and instead slowed Love just enough so he was just tripped up by the defense. So we really had 2 chances on that particular series to score 7, coming only away with 3.Â
