No second guess
Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury and quarterback Patrick Mahomes II stood behind the decision to call quarterback sneaks four times when the Red Raiders encountered third-and-1 or fourth-and-1 four times on the same series in the fourth quarter. It didn’t haunt them until Mahomes was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1 from the Tech 35-yard line with 4:01 left.
Kingsbury said he didn’t seriously consider any other call in those circumstances.
“I think we were 100 percent with that (sneak) thus far this year, and I’ll have to look at the spot, but we somehow lost yardage on that,” Kingsbury said.
