He had a quote one time that said that no team makes adjustments at halftime. All of our failures in the 2nd half were a result of being out-executed in the 2nd half. THAT is one of the several reasons that Dave Christensen is a horrible coach.
You're right about this, we often hung with many of the big boys in the first half (Texas was close, we were ahead of Utah, etc.). CDC studied the opponents and put together a plan, but "no battle plan ever survives the first encounter with the enemy". That's where he shit his pants week in and week out. We made no adjustments, they did, we lost, they won.
Hell, the guy could recognize and recruit talent and put together a 1st quarter game plan (we usually started to fizzle in the 2nd quarter). Other than that, he was just an overpaid useless twat. Now that he's first flunky at Utah, maybe he'll be of some use to that train wreck of a team.
