It’s driving me crazy. We’ve got to figure out how to score offensive TDs in the fourth quarter. We had so many close finishes last year and it’s looking like 2016 may be the same way. If only our offense could figure out how to close out a game and get the ball in the endzone late, it would do wonders for my heart.
Last week, a TD on that 11-minute drive would have been devastating to BYU and would have made things so much easier for us all. We got one 4th quarter TD against Southern Utah–but that was the first time we did it since the Washington game last year. That’s right: we didn’t have a 4th quarter TD in any of our final four games last year (against Arizona, UCLA, Colorado and BYU). Ugh. We lost two of those games–though we probably would have won all four if we could have earned seven more in the end.
And even the games we did win didn’t have to be so close. We had no offensive TDs in the fourth quarter against Michigan (7-pt win), Utah State (10-pt win) or California (6-pt win). Instead, we had to rely solely on our defense to get it done.
