oh, he called the same game he did all season. the players executed it much better. j.j. hit the deep ball. the offensive line dominated their opponent.

simple, the offense produced the most (other than ole miss) against the best three defenses they faced.

it wasn't gary crowton calling better plays. it was getting better execution/play out of the qb and o-line.

the offense looks very good when the qb makes an accurate pass, the wr catches the ball, and the o-line protects/opens hole's for the running game.

That was nowhere near any gameplan we have had all year. Instead of saying we were going to simplify the offense, we actually did. We lined up 2 TE, I form and pounded for 5 yards a pop. And to my astonishment, we didn't go away from what was working. We took away JJ's carries and gave them to Ware with great success. We minimized the read option. And since we pounded the hell out of the ball, we were able to set up the PA to our big fast WRs downfield.

Nothing of that game screamed Gary Crowton at all.

Really? Cause I recall running the read option all season, and we certainyl did NOT do that in the Cotton Bowl.

I think Gary was told what to do, and went from there.

Run the ball and play action pass.
