in retrospect... the coach is an idiot

Youngstown State scored 15 points in 6 minutes. Sad state of affairs.

Agreed... starting to "run out the clock" with 13:00 minutes to go in the game is stupid.

I'm on the other side of the f***ing country, call my traveling wife, parents, and sister to tell them to watch the game JMU was winning at that point only to watch them lose to some loser team from loserville, loservania.

here is the issue. they were up by 3 points. and its 4th down... here are your options:

1. kick a 28 yard field goal and go up by 6 points
2. go for it on 4th and 1 and keep the drive alive to go up by 10... requiring the other team to score twice.

well they went for it... and guess what... they didnt make it.... so this is what happens if you kick the field goal....

you are up by 6 points... the other team scores 7... you are down by one... well you only have to go kick a field goal to win the game... but when you dont do this... they are up by 4... forcing you to score a touchdown... which would mean moving the ball another 30 yards and God knows how much time it would take JMU to do so...

you kick the field goal and force the other team to score a touchdown... thats what you do when you run your mouth about how good the defense is in the media... obviously as much as the coach talked about the D he still didnt think they could pull it off so he went for it. Our coach needs to be in the unemployment line!

Very sad. Apparently the basketball team is pretty good this season, hopefully we can do well in interconference play.

IMO that was the right call. If they convert the 1st down the game is over. It's as simple as that. Our defense had not done shit the entire game against the pass, so I don't really see how it could be counted on to stop the opposing team from putting up 7 (or 8 in our case), and for the most part their defense couldn't do shit against our offense either. IMO they really should have just called a power run up the middle, but you do what you think is right and thats it. But saying they should have put up 3 more and hoped that our defense could do something they didn't do for the majority of the game (pressure the QB and stop the passing game) is just not a smart decision.
