Others have posted the benefits of why Zac possibly made the choice: aggressiveness, momentum, building up confidence in his players, making a statement they own the North, and a whole lot of other reasons that contribute to winning culture. It's not always about what a stat reveals or playing it safe. When you work with people, a human element is ever present so perhaps Zac was leveraging that to get his players ready for the rest of the grind.
