Had to go for it but that play call was oof
You absolutely did not have to go for it
Yes we did not have to, but I think the odds of winning were significantly worse if we tried it.
Their QB was shook. We were the better team the second half by far
The issue is you’re assuming Tennant even converts that FG.
The fact that we were so much better is a pretty good reason to give him a shot.
If you believe we were playing so much better then why not give your offense a chance to win the game by gaining 4 yards?

Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

I liked the call, I also wish we had been better on downs 1-3 (though first was ok)

We were bold, and put the pressure on. Had we got it, it'd been the win of the season

A decision between options that are roughly equally justifiable is, by definition, not that big a deal.

It’s not hard.

You go for it at the end of regulation, and plan for that with your play-calling. You kick the FG in OT.

That’s how you do it.

The fact that their offense was DONE only adds fuel to that fire.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Losing this game means @KU would easily be our best win of the season if we pull it off.

The top half of the Big 12 has seemed pretty tight this year, with the main separation coming down to who gets their most difficult opponents at home.

I mean… I think that means we’re not going to defend the championship this year.  BUT we had 2 conference losses last year and somehow managed to win a rematch against TCU.  I would love a rematch against UT.  Stranger things have happened in the BigXII…

It could happen, but it's unlikely. KU and KSU are now in the same boat (conference-wise). Yes, it's possible, but not probable. Everything needs to happen "just so."

Mott made some huge plays.  Forced a fumble and tipped/headbutted two passes, right?  That was impressive.

It was wild to see the offense look so impotent in H1.  Seemed like we were trying too hard to make the run game happen.

The problem is we added complete dogshit teams and TCU and Tech are also terrible

This was a pretty bad loss considering their qb situation.  Probably as bad as our other two losses.

Scoring on a single play from 4-yards out is one of the hardest feats to accomplish in football. Kicking what is essentially a successful xp is one of the easiest, even if you just missed one.

What a game by our cats. Wish we could’ve finished. Not mad we had the balls to go for it. Didn’t love it that point though.

The games we've lost are the games you are supposed to win by having your senior QB make plays at the end of the game.

Yep, I also think the play calls on those “must get” plays have been complete crap.
