Honestly, considering the field position, the down and distance and the TO situation it's hard to fathom a better time to run it.
They woulda taken balt's last TO OR burned 45 secs off the clock and THEN gotten the 1st and likely iced the game. That woulda been the end result.
All CEH had to do was not fumble.

Yep... their normal offense is all about getting to 3rd and short. It was 2nd and short. You either pick up a 1st on the ground and run a bit of clock or deal with a routine 3rd and 2-4 yards.
If it was 2nd and 10, then yeah, let's not hand it off up the gut and make it 3rd and 9... and it was those calls earlier in the hall that killed drives. Any outcome besides fumbling the ball or running backwards 10 yards and it's a fine call (not amazing, but fine).
