Field Gulls on Jaxon Smith-Njigba

JSN created CB conflict but Darnold hesitated, nearly threw INT

On a key third-down play, the play design put the cornerback in conflict where he could not cover both Shaheed and Smith-Njigba, creating a window for the throw; however, Darnold hesitated too long to make the decision and read the defense, and with George Holani's protection not being good, pressure arrived and the play nearly became an interception.
