Campbell trying to bring the team back when we're down 10 points with 4 minutes to go isn't "garbage time," there's still a somewhat legitimate shot at winning or tying the game.
Throwing the ball a whole bunch in the 4th quarter when we're down 20 or 30 points is garbage time.

Either way, garbage time is part of the game. I'm not going to take anything away from Campbell for running a successful drive against all odds. Sure, we didn't score fast enough to get the ball back, but you can only do so much.
He didn't turn it over and he ended up making all the right reads. I'm not so sure that he outplayed Brunell, but considering that the change was made for the future, and the dropoff was debateable, it certainly looks like a good decision right now.
