That's the kinda run we needed from KF!

Every slant to Franklin is automatic. Let’s do that
How do they seemingly have 8 guys in our backfield immediately sometimes…
Or, run it!
Great pickup by Luke. Keep driving
Why call that timeout at 2:08? That doesn't make sense

Well, minimally I’m convinced we are for real this year.
You can tell Bret emphasized to Lunney to try and establish the run to kill game clock and keep this as tight as possible. Which is tricky because I feel like our strength is passing to Franklin in the slant and looking at Bryant down the sideline. I don't want to be too critical of this strategy as it is currently working pretty well.
Called a timeout for a handoff run?
The JC Davis vs Abdul Carter matchup is sick. JC is frustrating him.

His first gear is a Mack truck; his second gear is a Ferrari!
Didn't like what he saw, and you can't have a negative play there. Love that!! Brett's a chess player

Trying to set up more RPO in the second half I guess

Who knows what they were trying to get out of, but that timeout was not good clock management by us
Sluggo route coming at some point!
Okay, anyone able to tell me what Bret saw to call that timeout before the two minute warning? Because switching to a run up the gut with your speed back is…a choice.
I wonder if they use the second half to really exploit this. Then wear them down further with the run if we get them on their heels.
