Replacing Fletcher on the last drive

Meast21 said:
the 3rd and 3/4 play was designed to sneak out the RB for a quick gain. Brown has amazing hands (no offense to Fletch but area of opportunity for him) and sure enough caught a tough pass. From there, he had fresh legs against a fatigued defense and brown's a beast. tough and physical would not be denied. The one run where he was stopped after a yard but kept moving his legs and the pile to pick up 5 was ****** awesome.

The blocking on the wide zone run to Brown was amazing. Lofton walled off Curry, CiCi got Styles, and Toney got Downs.

It’s easier for any RB to fumble when he is tired. Brown did a great job when called upon. Even Pringle ran Well, but he was limited in pass pro. Fletcher is RB1 right now, but it’s good to know that we have great backups.

I love that Dawson went right back to him with several runs and the TD pass after his fumble that eliminated the possibility of the Canes first points. It reminded me of when he went to Toney for the TD after his fumble in the Texas A&M game. He showed both stars that he trusts them

Seeing Pringle get blown up in pass protection on that one particular play had me proud and feared for the dead at the same time. My God did he sacrifice himself on that play. I told the wife prepare for a stretcher I think he's dead. What an amazing kid sacrificing himself like that to block for his QB. I love it. But I'm certain he wasn't reciting the alphabet backwards after that shot. He levitated in the backfield and shot back 6 yards .

Team needs to do a ton of ball security drills, they got so lucky to not have multiple more lost fumbles.

This cannot be over stated. We got lucky last night on many occasions. Yes they were head hunting for the ball on every play. But every team worth their salt in the cfp will be playing with the same intestines. Turnovers going forward will destroy our goals. Plain and simple

I would have rotated Brown in and out earlier. Brown is tough and in my opinion, he has the best hands as an outlet pass catcher. We can’t afford to lose Fletcher.
 
It's an elimination game. It worked. That's all that matters.
