SBC West - Out of Reach

Then why not go for 2 and be done with it.

If he really believed the FG winner scenario, it would have covered a failed 2-point try.

First thing is I’m not questioning his word about his thought.

Let’s Geaux with your comment. We Geaux for 2 and get it. We lead by one. Clearly SA is now into a four down situation. They have to get into field goal range.

If we miss it we’d have to try the on side kick because we absolutely have to score. There’s a huge difference from having to score and having an opportunity to score.

As I said I didn’t agree with the quick time out, but I can see his reasoning, unless he’s not telling us the truth.

When did winning 6-7 games become the goal? I thought it would be to defend the SBC championship.

You and I thought the same thing. I did not think we would be so poor across the OL. Burton at center will be a big boost.

But losing McGowen hurt tremendously and our margin for error was razor thin after Napier took Waites. Torrence wasn’t going to stay regardless.

I’m not in agreement with CMD about the time out, but it wasn’t a panic decision if you were to take his word on the issue. He was trying to save time for a possible win in regulation. He actually believed that the defense was going to get the ball back with enough time for a game winning field goal.

The biggest coaching bad decision wasn’t taking the holding penalty and make it 2nd and 20 with 30 seconds left. Take the penalty and play for OT.
