I know it's pounded into our starters' heads not to take sacks when they can throw it away. But with Tua and now BY, they both are always looking down the field for possible targets when they scramble. When it works out, it's great, but it brings these types of situations into play. On Sat., BY was looking downfield and not until he got tackled did he try to throw it away.
It's a doubled-edged sword that usually works out, but sometimes backfires.
Now, Jalen hurts would have probably broken that tackle and gained 10 more yards. That's what he does!
I know we've got some extra motivation in this game too.
We may just blow them out no matter who plays QB (it's what my heart hopes for), but the logical side of me thinks TAMU shows up looking like the team everybody thought they'd be this year and they'll give us all we want and then some.
It's why I hope BY plays (if he's able) and it's why I fear a very safe, vanilla game plan if JM has to play.
