Had they reduce thrust and kept the speed back below 250 they would not have hit the ground at all. Control forces would have been much lighter. You have to establish the aircraft in a regime where it is controllable. Max thrust is the worst thing you could do in a nose down trim situation.
In your proposed solution, had they reduced thrust what would have prevented them from diving into the ground at the high speed commanded by their low AOA?
