The offense was keeping things simple for a reason

If you noticed, there were no pass attempts directed at Fotheringham, Thompson, and only two to Dixon. Covey was targeted once, I think? There are many plays in the book set up specifically for those players that we didn’t see last night.
It was clear that downfield passing wasn’t in the game plan. There were opportunities there. Ludwig wanted to control the line of scrimmage, (which we did extremely well in the second half) and take advantage of short to mid throws (which we also did well in the second half). Huntley didn’t need to attempt a pass in the 4th Q
