Is there really anything to discuss? We all know how it's going to play out at this point, right? Difference will be one score, and it'll be something on special teams or a turnover.

Who knows. Evidently TA hasn't figured that out either. Most of our games are closer than they need to be. Start playing good teams it's gonna cost us. Cost us against West Florida a few years ago and almost cost us yesterday. Luckily D bailed us out.Last edited by DawgUp; 11-27-2022, 01:13 PM.

It is just nice that it won't be on Thanksgiving weekend. You should have some students back and at least have a decent showing for this PO game.
As a side note, I would chip in on some portable heaters for those stands. The last game of the regular season and into POs tends to get quite chilly!

Agreed. Cade had one of the worst games throwing the ball that I’ve seen. Missed open receivers all day….usually throwing too high. He can’t do that against Ferris and win. Gotta keep the adrenaline under control. On the other hand, when he saw a lot of green in front of him he took advantage of it. Too many red zone trips with no points. I don’t understand 4th and goal from the one foot line and giving the ball to your lightest back. Moreno at 230 lbs would have been the better choice….Or, get up under center and sneak it. Of course hindsight is always 20/20 and coaching from the stands is easy.2021 D2Football Fantasy Champion

Kick the damn field goal!!! Did the same thing vs Ferris... will never understand lack of confidence in kickers. Doesn't understand momentum change that hands the opposition when you totally fail to get anything out of a drive to the 6inch line. Almost handed NW the game. Yes I know it was windy, but that would have been shorter than an extra point. NW went under center for their 4th and inches and were given the spot to continue their go ahead drive. How many times has GV failed to get the TD in that situation against top notch teams in the last year? Hell, in 2021 it resulted in 7 points for Ferris which was the difference in that game.
I just would rather go for it with a sneak or an under-center run, which have almost a 90+% success rate.2021 D2Football Fantasy Champion

It's prudent to go for it in that situation because even if you don't get it, you have a pretty good shot at getting a safety on an ensuing play, and if you force the opponent to go 3 and out, you're going to get good field position. So the reward is worth it.
