We got to beat Texass

[Purple Derpathy]

My gripe is the QB run call when we got so close

Yep, can’t believe he called that again

Howard mumped the first one up. If he runs to the right it's a TD but Howard looks for contact

[mocat]

Well having the right play call should be baked into your decision to go for it

[cfbandyman]

Obviously wish it was better, respect the hell of out going for it. Not mad, just upset

[wetwillie]

You have to at least let Avery get one attempt in a 4 down series from the 5 yard line.

[Purple Derpathy]

Had to go for it but that play call was oof

You absolutely did not have to go for it

Yea you do bud

Yes we did not have to, but I think the odds of winning were significantly worse if we tried it.

Not really. I'd actually say that's a bad idea

I would have rolled with him by the second quarter but inserting him at that point is a pretty obvious indication of what the play call is going to be

Their QB was shook. We were the better team the second half by far

He messed up the one in OT too, I think. He was already set on the jump pass even though he could have run past the big guy who ended up batting the pass.

Would have been fun to see.  Could have had some options there I think?

We were stopping their offense the last 10 minutes of the game.  We were moving the ball better than texassss.  Why in the world would we HAVE to go for it when we could have continued the game.  No reason not to kick the field goal...

Ya, that would really catch them by surprise

The issue is you’re assuming Tennant even converts that FG.

We’ll always have 1st and goal from the 6

An extra point field goal.... you're assuming we would score a touchdown... I would have bet on the short field goal and continued the game...

Going for it was the right call.  Make a somewhat risky kick (given our shaky fg game) to enable at best a 50/50 2nd OT?  No way.  Gotta think we had something like a 40% chance of scoring on that play.

That was one of the weirdest and most frustrating games ever.  The cats made so many fundamental errors that it hardly seemed fair they had a chance to win it.  But they did.  Twice.

It felt like we were playing one of the most talented and disciplined teams in the history of CFB in the 1st half, and they just crumpled in the 2nd half.  Wild.  I hated almost the entire game.  It was so painful to watch.

The start of this game felt like a low-T KSU hoops team of yesteryear self-destruct in a rowdy AFH.  What an absolutely awful 1st half.  Miraculous that we were down only 10 at half.

The fact that we were so much better is a pretty good reason to give him a shot.

[EMAWzifried]

So many missed opportunities.

[kim carnes]

The coaching staff made objectively terrible decisions, that’s not debatable.

[I_have_purplewood]

I'm sure this will help Tennant's psyche the rest of the year too.

Where do you pull these percentages from?    I think we would have had a 100% chance if we continued the game....

The estimate of our odds in the 2nd OT boils down to being at a disadvantage when the other team gets the ball 2nd (and knows whether a FG is a good option).  I think that's pretty obvious.

As for the odds of scoring on 4th down, it's called a guesstimate.  I'm pretty sure it's not all that difficult to estimate the odds of getting a TD from a few yards out on one play.  You're right, though - I did not get this estimate from a football simulator.  You win the argument.  Good job.
