Calling a zone read with a hobbled QB (even if he was moving better than expected) was bad. While Quinn fumbled, it was a good play by the defender on an absolutely brain dead, unnecessary play call. I get doing it if we were struggling to move the ball and needed to surprise the aggies with something. But we were stuff it down their throat at that point. Asking your gimpy QB to run a zone-read in that situation is just tempting the football gods.
Overall, Quinn played really well on Saturday. The fumble was at least 50% on Sark for the play call. The int shouldn't have been thrown because it had no chance (defender was all over that route), but I'm pretty sure he was throwing it to the pylon where worse case scenario was going to be an incomplete absent the tip. This team in general just seems a bit snake bit when closing out games. Whether its the QB, the RB, the oline, or special teams, something goes wrong to keep us from comfortably finishing off the game. The only group that doesn't fuck up almost ever is the defense.
