In the USF game we had the ball at about the 6 yard line and ran a fly sweep for a 2-3 yard loss. I remember thinking, you're in two down territory, it would have been better to run a qb sneak in that position. Anything to just get closer to the first down/touchdown.
I think they thought there was a chance that the qb sneak might go for 4-5 yards there because, who is expecting it. Either way, it wasn't a negative play, it wasn't a penalty, it didn't put them in a long down and distance situation. So I thought it was a good call.
