and 3rd down was based on the outcome of 1st down. If we had picked up a chunk on 1st down, we would have turned things up. As it was we were looking at 2nd and long and 3rd and long with a 2nd down incompletion. With a very good Memphis DL teed up with their ears pinned back, there are a lot of bad things that could happen. When the first down play didn't go anywhere, they made the decision to run out the clock.
