He’s on his way out so he figured, put Lausch in for the halibut.
On a serious note, that was a terrible move and it cost us a precious opportunity for a quick score after a massive momentum change. If you’re going to run essentially the same play every time Lausch takes a snap, it’s not going to work. They must have no confidence in his passing ability.
Then 3 plays later coming away with zero points from the 1/2 yard line.
That short series to me was the punctuation mark for the end of Bajakian and Anderson. The D serves the ball up inside the 10 yard line, everyone knows you go for the kill shot after a turnover but Jake calls a Lausch run that probably has the lowest % for a TD of any play in the book. The OL is unable to get a push to run it in from the 1. No confidence in the OL so we have to run a pass play on 4th and goal at the 1. Then a fade to a TE which I don’t know if we have even run this year, who appeared to be the only receiver option on the play, instead of going to one of our outstanding WRs.
