There is some disagreement as to the actual arrangement. Some are saying Cam didn’t want to play but then decided to play a half - which was ok with UM. Then there is the thought Mario wanted to play the other guy at least a half.
I’m not sure if this is all on Cam.
It was Cristobal’s decision. Ward was playing the first half. Had he not gotten the record he may have played some the second half. It would’ve been a great story to see him play the entire game and lead UM back.
