It didn't workout this time because Joe tripped over the lineman's feet, but the D came within a 4th and 4 (equally risky by Zims) of making it not cost us. The next time Zac called on the team on 4th down it paid off. Both units now no Zac will put it in their hands.
This argument makes no sense. Basically Zac was telling the defense he did not trust them with a 14 point lad in the fourth quarter. And based on the way they fell apart after that 4th down call it looks like he might have been correct.
A smart coach would have told the defense that he trusted them and "put it in their hands" to hold a 14 point lead.
