if there were 4-5 min left we kick it, no doubt in my mind. with 2 min left FSU,, probably even if we kick 3 doesnt push too hard to score since they had the lead and control.   going for 6 tells me that you think we have no shot without crazy luck happening. kicking says you think you are still in the game. if we come out and score the first drive of the 2nd half people would be saying how dumb it was we didnt take the points..

on one hand people say we should be going for it because we weren't stopping FSU and trading field goals for TDs was not enough.  Saying that is saying we had no shot to win so we had to win without hitting on 15 every time..

yet here we are arguing about kicking a fg down 18 a day later.   that tells me that people felt like there was a shot to win that game had a couple things gone differently against the #1 team after a week of injuries, losing the starting QB, demoting a coach, wanting to fire the head coach, no shot at 2 more wins.

last year we got drilled in this game, this year we are dropped passes away from seeing a chance for stealing a game in the 4th quarter.

going for it energizes the team and crowd but usually just helps you lose the game.

now people are dreaming of a shot of beating wake and seeing what Clemson has without the QB getting to 6 wins.

lets beat Wake.. one game at a time..
