I've always liked the option, from watching Pepper run it here. But I am aware of the negative consequences of running it at this level in the modern game.
Great for blowing out cupcakes and unwary coaches, but ineffective with teams and coaches that see it every year, or have bowl time to prepare for it. I would rather have a good bowl record than it offers.
I thought Thacker had a good game plan, but we didn't show patience on a few plays. Something to work on. We want the turnover, but we have to get the stop first. They know that but the team is still learning the balance.
