Was it is his coaching that caused Cooper to turn the ball over twice? (although in fairness the first one wasn't down to him, it was a combination of fluke and inexperience from Countess getting in the way)
Was it his coaching caused the drops by Watkins and Higbee?
And was it his coaching that got Brockers hurt.
I know all about if' and but's, but if none of those things happen I think we'd have won this game and nobody would be saying McVay got out coached
.And I've not even mentioned some terrible calls by the incompetent refs.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
