Discussion by Rittenberg about the injury to Dillon Johnson. I was questioning running the ball 3x due to risk of turnover or injury. However I agree most teams would run it and not take knees because they couldn’t completely run the clock out. Could also see not wanting to have a backup carry the ball (fumble risk) or run Penix into the line.
However I did think the clock was supposed to restart after the injury, at least picking up where the play clock left off (UW shouldn’t get another full play clock with the time running). It should, if that’s not a rule already.
Also an interesting point raised in the comments that injury stoppage could be an incentive for the defense to hurt someone.
