    Why not take the points and kick the field goal on 4 and3 with a backup quarterback.   I can see Riley Leonard was in there but thought that was a bone head decision

    Seems like there has been more terrible coaching decisions this season than normal.

    Miami not taking a knee, Norte Dame playing with 10 defenders last two plays against OSU, and lots of these 4th down calls instead of taking the easy 3.

    I think it was James Madison the other day. They had the ball at their own one or two yard line. They run a play out of the shotgun and hand it off to the running back, who is six yards deep in the end zone. He gets tackled for a safety.

    coaches make too much money they can take stupid chances and get fired because they have golden parachutes. Absolutely the dumbest shit I have seen in football today. Coaches just not wanting to win.

     Boneheaded decision by FSU coach early in the game. Youre a 2 TD fav against a team w a backup qb that had zero going for them offensively. He goes for it on 4th from his own 40. Boom 3 free points for Duke. 

    Same thing w Jax on TNF. They were up 2 scores on a saints team that could do absolutely nothing on offense and instead of pinning them deep they go for it on 4th and 3 i think it was near midfield. They gave the saints a short field and they scored and then its a 1 score game. Analytics might say go for it based on probability but you have to consider game flow as well, something that the analytics cant.

    @Buzzard311

     Coach basically lost him that game.  And I would of let a 50% Riley Leonard play over a redshirt freshman quarterback.  Coach should be ashamed of himself
