Lindgren Called a good game Saturday night

It’s really hard to call off tackle runs when the defense is giving up five yards per carry. That said, it would have been very tempting to start winging it all over the yard once we were down by 14 points, and he stuck with the running game. Props for that.
Credit where credit due. This was one of Lindgrens best called games. Sticking with the run was perfect, opened the pass up, then mixed in both. The Oline started to gel some with that run game IMO. I truly think if the D could have forced 1 to 2 more stops we could have won that game. Disappointing those misses on the long ball. I really loved that POP pass to the TE in the endzone (Montez ran that play to perfection) and that quick pass to the TE for the other TD, great calls.
I think Lindgren has been calling pretty good games since the OOC schedule. I'm wondering where the blackout boys are?
Awesome game from him, exactly what we have all been calling for this season, a commitment to the run game and using the tight end in play action. You don't even need a crazy athletic guy at that position when you are running the ball that well and all of those defenders are reading run first and it just sort of highlights a big issue with the offense the last couple of years.

When Bobo is running 50 yards downfield in single coverage Montez needs to give him a chance. He has great body control and does a good job boxing out corners so underthrow it a little bit and let him make a play.
Yeah, but running off guard on 4th and 3 takes some balls. UA's defense was gassed. Making it all the more frustrating that we couldn't get a stop when we needed one.
Yeah, I really wanted to see what Montez was made of with the game on the line too. It would have revealed a lot about his future here IMO.
Montez can only score 8 points at a time. In hindsight, we should have been going for two starting in the second half.
I don't disagree. He didn't panic. However, it was nice to know we could run two plays to pick up a first down on the many 3rd and 7 or 3rd and 8 plays we saw in the second half. I think this was more proof for the theory that teams should basically never punt.
If you call an offense knowing that you have 4 downs to pick up 10 yards, the numbers are on your side to never punt. More teams should do it.
