I couldn’t see the secondary too well on the broadcast, but it looked like Ned was in prevent defense in Montgomery’s last drive —- Exactly what Montgomery needed. If I’m right, Ned ceded the mid-range (so, first downs) sideline against a team that needed 60 yards and had no (maybe 1?) timeouts. I may be alone in hating the prevent defense except in Hail Mary situations, but I think if Nederland had lined up in their normal defense in the last drive they would have stopped Montgomery. But I could be wrong about their formation since I couldn’t really see the secondary. It just seemed like those mid-range sideline passes were handed to Montgomery.
