7. Apparently FI was loaded up against a 5 yard run for the first and ten.

Marshall hadn't been passing downfield enough to suit me and for that play the receiver was wide open. Even if the pass had been incomplete, Marshall would have turned the ball over to FI on downs at the 35. That same result, or one very close to it, would have been just as (or more) likely with a short gain attempt like we saw from the Herd most of the night.

And what if you just go ahead and punt? What are you going to get out of that when you're already on the 35? It was a good call.
