I keep seeing people say Kizer passed up a sure and easy run to the first down marker. I went back and watched that play, did slow motion and stop action. There was 3 defenders between Kizer and the first down line. Maybe he could have gotten through them but probably not. Then the same people would be crucifying Kizer for not throwing to Coleman.This all comes down to Kizer's decision making. Yes Kizer made the play to get the ball to Coleman but gave up a higher percentage play in running in open space for 2 yards. Coleman makes the catch the drive keeps going and we might not even remember it. Same goes for Kizer running for 2 yards.
Kizer just didn't make the proper decision in the moment and that's his fault all season. You can't count on him to make the right decision.
FWIW Josh Gordon was also wide open and would have been a much easier target, and he would have waltzed into the end zone.
