MEMPHIS, Tenn. --

Constant spread and no-huddle offense by Memphis. Did what I could

It was a 23-21 game in the 4th quarter with 52 seconds left, I stopped them on 3rd and 6 and called a timeout thinking they'd punt and give my offense a chance (sim). But instead they went for it on 4th, passing to the sideline and barely getting the first down by a foot or so before falling out of bounds (pass was direct to the spot). Then they kneeled it out.

Offense didn't help much. First TD was after I forced an opening 3-out and Q. Lee blocked a punt and returned it for a TD.

-- Right away I grabbed an INT on the next possesion on 3rd down to give it back to the offense
--- But 4 plays (1 first down) and out
- Long ass drive finally ended with a TD when the Memphis QB literally PLOWED his way to a 15 yd TD
-- So ASU offense responds with a 3-out
I force a punt
-- The only reason my offense got its 2nd 1st down of the ensuing drive was b/c of a 5-yd penalty on Memphis. And after that gift -- literally 4 straight inc passes to turn it over on downs
- Another LONG ASS drive and I give up a TD (just struggle with no-huddle and pass pass pass pass)
-- Offense goes 3-out and immediately gives it back
HALFTIME
-- Offense finally scores to take a 14-13 lead opening the 2nd half
I force a 3-out
-- Offense goes 5 plays and out
I force a 4-out
-- Offense goes 3-out
FOURTH
I face a short field (they start on THIS side of the 50) but keep them out of the endzone for a FG, 16-14
-- Offense goes 3-out AGAIN. And Memphis returns the kick for a TD, 23-14.
-- Oh GEE, now you're down by 2 scores in the 4th quarter, so **NOW** you'll score a TD?! Offense scores, 23-21.
--- I do my damndest to stop them on 3rd down, but the go for it on 4th and 6 or wtvr and make it, game over (see above)
