Richard Johnson breaks down the Washington Huskies’s disappointing red zone production from Saturday’s game against the Auburn Tigers, saying that it illustrates the importance of finding the end zone when playing against an elite defense:
Auburn won, 21-16, and the reasons why Washington lost are clear: missed opportunities on Auburn’s side of the field. Promising drives ended with field goals instead of touchdowns. Failing to make the most of opportunities against a defense like Auburn’s will get you beat.
“You get in the red zone, you’ve got to be very detail oriented, and you’re splitting hairs down there,” Huskies coach Chris Petersen said after the game.
