There are three possible outcomes:
1. UGA scores - worst case scenario by far
2. UGA converts - not good but you still have
more opportunities to make a play or for them to screw up
3. UGA does not convert - we win
Cross chooses to go man across the field no safety help anywhere. This after he's neutered his pass rush.
The result of this strategy is that it shifts likelihood from scenario 2 to the others - essentially making that play the play for the game. The other team has a true freshman QB. Why not make him perform repeatedly, instead if creating a one-off?
Bad call.
