Let’s pump the brakes on McPherson

[CJD]

I do think Zac leaned too heavily on McPherson today. He ran on 3rd down both times prior to the kicks because, in his mind, he didn't need the first down.

This is what makes Zac a bad coach. McPherson should have made the 49 yarder, but Zac should not have placed all his eggs in that basket. He should have played for the first down and settled for the field goal if he missed the first down. Playing for the field goal is how you lose the game.
