Hudspeth: 'That was the 100 percent-right thing to do'

[ZoomZoom]

Got no problem not taking points off board. Old school unwritten rule.

However, I do have problems with not owning this proverbial floater in the punch bowl of a season and throwing players under the bus. Really hurts recruiting. That may be a stretch of a technical reason (not supporting the program) for dismissal.

Here you go:

..,and that’s a real thing that was said.

How much time left when the penalty occurred?

[Turbine]

Playin for the tie is one thing.

Problem is it leaves the team in the wrong gear to win.

The message is, 'we are playing not to lose'

I don't think a team down by 3 scores can afford to play "not to lose" that's what scared teams in the lead are known to do.

Downshifting the teams mentality to 2nd gear at that point is a momentum lock.

Lol! This dude is a joke right now! Bring back bustle at least we can win 6 games paying him 250G a year and save 750G lol! It would be nice if Dr. Maggard would send him a video with Trump saying "you're Fired!!!!" Lol! App state is probably going to embarrass us lol!

8:51 left....in the 3rd quarter

[GeauxCajuns]

Yea, inexcusable then, if it was 5 min left in game it's the right call

Yes we needed points Hud. But your defense wasn’t stopping GaSo, so you need touchdowns just to hang with them.

Spot on

[Turbine]

It wasn't as egregious as the ULM loss and having the ball at the one and playing for the tie instead of the win on the last play of the game.

The message it sent though was a message of complacency.

I would have never thought that accepting a penalty would show urgency, but a little more urgency there and perhaps they aren't pressing "as much" at the end, less predictable, no interceptions.

Hud coaches off of coach speak quotes: "don't take points off the board"....."win the turnover battle"....etc etc. The situation comes up, he scrolls through the list of throw away quotes and makes his decision. So you guys hold the rope next week as we establish the run to setup the pass and attempt to impose our will by winning the turnover battle. I figure if our guys want it more than the other team we are bowl bound baby!

[MetryCajun]

How could he possibly think his crappy defense would hold them for the rest of the game. You have to take the penalty and score TD's.
