Did you ignore the last 9 years? Every time we got down by 7 to 10 in the second half, Dan would do 1 of 2 things: either get pass happy or start only calling QB runs. Whichever one of those he decided to do - he would stick with that until we got down by another score. Then he would turtle up and just start trying to get the game over with and go home. Did you ever feel like we could come from behind and win with Dan? No. Because we all knew exactly what he would do and how he would do it. And even if we did score, there was no sense of urgency to attempt to make a come back. The only game I recall making a real substantial comeback in was Arkansas in 2015.
