I probably would have took the points but it doesnt mean he was wrong.  losing by 3 says nothing about that situaton at the end of the half. So many factors in the second half that could have changed the position they were in.   As a staff you have to make decisions based on the situation, the players and scheme you have.  We don't know what the staff and the players dicussed all week  during prepartion.  Ive seen alot of great coaches make bad decisions.  Its easy to point a finger at the screen. We have no idea whats going on behind the scenes at a game.  What factored into their decsion. As a coach for 20 years, a lot factors in on decisions that people wouldnt know. Theres a lot of moving parts that we dont see when we sit in a chairs and watch the screen. What mental state are the players in? How confident do they look? Whats the body languange of the other team? Dino and his staff will take chances. Some will work and some won't but that decision at the half wasnt the reason why they loss. If it was the last play of the game. I will feel differently.

Now as far as the play they ran. Im not trying to defend Dino but if you watch the play. It was a good call.  FSU just happened to guess the right way and had fast guys running to the ball.   Maybe they saw something on film and guessed but we had them out number 6 to 4 on the left side of the ball. Outside zone play with those numbers and all you need is 3 yards? Thats hard to say no to. For any team.
