Let's take a look at the second half drives for wazzu that game, shall we?
35-17 12:45 left 3rd Q. 4 straight runs to start the drive. 2 short passes. Then 15 yd completion. 35 yd TD pass. 4:08 for 8 play TD drive (32 seconds a play).
42-17 6:52 left 3rd Q. 1 play 6 yds TD. 4 second drive.
49-24 3:40 left 3rd Q. 1 play 12 yd complete pass fumbled and turned over. Nothing the offense could do by slowing down.
49-31 3:33 left 3rd Q. 2 completed passes. 1 incomplete pass. 1 run. 1 incomplete pass. Punt. Could have ran it on either first down, I guess, but 18 point game with a QB that has 7 TDs... you let him do him.
49-38 1:20 left 3rd Q. 1 run. 1 completed pass and fumbled.
You have maybe one drive you can blame on his uptempo style. The rest of the comeback is just on bad defense and bad ballcarrying.
If you watch the full game you'd see a different picture than high tempo offense blows lead because it is throwing too much.
They lost four fumbles in the second half of that game on top of allowing a punt return TD and two 1 play TD drives.
Yea, the buck stops with Leach, but that game was fluky as hell and he has separated from the DC there.
