Eddie Gran Explains why he Called a Pass on Third and Two in Overtime

Lined up in the Wildcat formation, the Cats burned a timeout to take a second look at the play. Instead of giving the ball to Benny, offensive coordinator Eddie Gran tried to outsmart Texas A&M.

“We’ve run that formation probably six times on film. It’s 13 Jumbo. It’s 100 percent run,” said Gran. “You got a flat route and a tight end going on a corner; it’s like a power pass. We’re 100 percent run, going to win the game and get a first down and keep going. It’s looked great in practice.”

The pass play out of the run formation did not look great.
