That's the problem with CampbellBall. Almost complete risk aversion in order to eliminate errors.
That is what Brad Childress tried to do as Minnesota Vikings coach.
Game theory suggests that our opponents have completely caught on, and simply do the same philosophy against us. Because on balance they have better athletes and coaching.
We're 4 and 10 in our last 14 conference games because our opponents, the ones that know us best, have figured this out.
We let the TTech QB, in his first college start, get comfortable against us last year and get some momentum, instead of blitzing and rattling him from the start.
That was awful. IIRC, we got down like 24 to 3 because of CampbellBall.
