My son convinced me to watch this game instead of the Stanford/Oregon game. It was a much better game than I anticipated. I was rooting hard for the Vikings, but I kind of expected them to get beat up pretty good by the Redskins. It looked like they would, too, for a while. But, while the Redskins were able to seemingly run the ball at will, they decided to try to pass when they obviously could not protect Robert Griffin for nearly long enough to get a pass off. There were times when Morris was 10 yards or more down the field before he was even touched. The Vikings defense was ravaged by injuries and the only thing they could do was rush the QB, so the Redskins coaching staff decided to oblige, which I thought was pretty sporting of them.
