On that final play against SDSU it seemed to me that JJ was well covered and Chryst just put the ball up there, hoping something good would happen. Obviously, it didn't.

He was pretty well covered, but it was single coverage by a defender who gave up 4-6 inches to him.  It should have been a completed pass, or at the worst an incomplete pass where the DB makes a nice play to pry it loose from Arcega-Whiteside's grip.  But it was badly underthrown (or the route was run incorrectly, which I guess is also a possibility) and only the DB could make a play on it.
