I think they started out committed to running Henry, and after we stuffed him a couple of times they decided to try something else for a bit. Then Lamar threw a terrible pick and fumbled, and they went back to the run, but this time with Justice Hill as the lead back. That loosened things up somewhat and made it possible for both Henry and Hill (why are they not called the Goodfellas?) to run downhill in the second half. At the end they had no choice but to put the ball back in Lamar's hands. We clearly came out in the second half expecting to go up three scores and start teeing off on the passing game, but when we ***** the bed on our first drive it looked a little like we weren't expecting them to run as much as they did.
The RPO abandonment may have been a concession to the weather and a fear of a fumbled exchange. I have no doubt we were prepared for it after seeing what they did to Pittsburgh last week.
