So, I had a gameplan setup to run 50% of the time in pretty much every situation and even more in some situations. Usually this results in like a 60-70% running ratio. However, this time it completely failed me. We started out great with very balanced play-calling and jumped out to a 14-0 lead because of it. But then my team suddenly abandoned this gameplan and went pass heavy, which was the exact thing I was trying to avoid against a very good pass defense and mediocre run defense. As a result, we never scored another point.

I'm just wondering could have caused my team to seemingly abandon the gameplan when it was working so well. I think it cost me the game ultimately.
