MCTERP, It's a good point. It is actually a strategy now, which is why you almost always see it once a team crosses the 50 yard line.
In fact, I am sure you thought Ohio State got some of those yesterday, and you are right. I can tell you, their coaches are saying " it is about damn time" since they have been wanting Barrett to do that for two seasons now. If you have man to man, throw the damn ball and let your WR make a play or maybe you get a PI call. That's been happening to OSU relentlessly for two seasons and yesterday was the first time I can recall they got some going their way.
