Game shouldn't have been that close so consider yourself lucky to even have a chance to backdoor A&M, secondly it was like 4th down and 4 or 5 why would you go for it? they isn't enough time for NW to come back down by 2 possessions they aren't a big play team

It made sense to kick it because it was a makeable fg and it makes it a two possession game. If it was like 4th and 1 yeah maybe they'll go for it.

Obviously I meant if A&M doesn't lose 4 yards on 3rd and 2**

if AM ran it up the gut on 3rd and 2 then maybe they run it once more on 4th and short and we get our cover....

Bad beat, but can't fault the coach IMO

You guys are absolutely wrong

Heres why.........

With less than 30 seconds ANY sane fucking coach would rather his team try to defend 95yds of field vs the chance of blocking a kick and the other team scoring.

ANY

I have been a part of the game my entire life..... That is a absolute piss poor call by the texas am coach.

Every coach in the country would choose to kick a FG there, if they had a Groza kicker.

Put the meth down. I've been losing some tough bets too this bowl season, but when the team you bet on scores 15 pts in the 4th for a lucky backdoor then loses a cover they possibly had in hand to a completely rational decision, don't call it something its not...

BOOM the stupid coach in this game was NW they should have let A&M punch one in once they got down to the 10 this way they get the ball back with like 2 min left

I was on NW for the game but it was a chip shot for a very good kicker seemed like the right call, there's always a chance at a block but it was a really short kick.

That's the equivalent of making the opposing team drive the entire length of the field and score.

If you're A&M would your rather risk N'Western's special teams unit to block your kick and run it back 80 yards or put Persa/Colter back on the field and let them run there offense for a potential score.

You have the best fucking kicker in America and can go up 11 in a blink of an eye.

Or you can go for it, not get it, and give N'Western's offense 4-5 plays to make something happen.


Justifying your losses is fine, if, and only if you know what the fuck you're talking about.

you just made my point you idiot.  YOU DONT KICK IT THERE.

YOU TAKE THE CHANCE OF GETTING IT BLOCKED.


with less than 30 seconds in the game...thats the key

were talking NW having to drive 95 yds with NO TIMEOUTS LEFT

Very few sane coaches around then because everyone would have kicked it.

Well if the fg that was missed at the end of the half wasnt called good this would be a non issue!

Let me know when you find someone who wouldn't kick a short FG to go up 11 with 35 seconds left in a ballgame and would rather go for it on 4th and 6 instead, and put an offense back on the field with skillplayers only down 8.

Stop crying, Jesus Christ.

I agree with Boom you dont kick it since 3 pts wouldn't do you any good. They are up by 8 and not 7. If you can pin them deep inside 20 with no timeouts do so. You don't want a easy return TD and then recover onside kick in place to have field position to kick FG.

Small chance of the field goal being blocked and even if it was small chance of it being run back for a score....So even if it is blocked NW has the ball on their 20 yeard line with 30 seconds left. 

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

 You kick the chip shot field goal every time in that situation. And anyone that's been around the game of football would tell you the exact same thing. Tough loss, but the right call no doubt about it..

Even if he missed that last minute fg they would have counted it anyway.
Just like the last minute fg in the 1st half that was no good that they somehow counted.

Boom, Stop weeping .. You are acting like it was a very bizarre call to kick a 30 yard fg with one of the best kickers in the country to make it a two possession game. It was a quick snap and kick if you watched it limiting the chances of a block.. Now I lost getting 9 1/2 but Christ I am not pissed at that call, it was the 3rd and 13 that got to me. You sound very childish, it wasn't a bad call at all END OF STORY
