On a weekly basis, in both college and the NFL, I see offensive coordinators often overthinking things, which often leads to beating yourself.
Another perfect example in the noon games (Yes, I have Maryland -14 1st Half, but that's beyond the point.)
Maryland comes out runs the ball three straight times for 23 yards and two first downs. So, what does the offensive coordinator decide to do? Drop back and pass on first down. What happens? QB sacked for a loss of 10 yards. 2nd down another pass play for about 8 yards. 3rd down pass play ends with a pick 6.
Why? Why would you even think of passing there on first down? You just averaged almost 8 yards per carry on the first three plays.
This has nothing to do with the fact I wagered on Maryland first half, I don't get overly emotional from one wager to another, it's about the inability to keep things simple. What harm is there in running the ball until you get stuffed?
Gamblers often talk about pressing when you're hot, riding the wave, riding streaks, etc. So, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
On another note good luck on your plays this week.
