Sometimes you talk yourself out of one thing and into another thing.
And that other thing doesn’t work out.
That’s what happened to Eddie Gran on Saturday night. Kentucky’s offensive coordinator faced a third-and-2 at Texas A&M’s 17-yard line in overtime at Kyle Field. He placed star running back Benny Snell in the wildcat formation for a direct snap, but he didn’t like what he saw from the defense and called a timeout.
During that break, Gran switched the play call. He dialed up a pass play for quarterback Terry Wilson with two options — tight end in the corner, receiver in the flat.
