When taking a knee several times would have left Arizona with 10 seconds, and instead, Peterman allowed for the hand off to Cooper, this was a monumental fuck up. The excuse given by him was that according to his chart, they needed another first down. But why would the risk of running be the choice for kneeling down three times where it is near impossible to fumble? I don't get his logic, that was not representative of a decision of a top notch coach. Defense has been a high point, so why wouldn't it make sense to let the defense hold the Wildcats for 10 seconds?
Peterman gave away a sure win by his decision.
