Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 5325748, member: 2196"] They lost 1 yard in 3 plays. Why would you go for 4th and goal from the 9 when you’re still down 16? Kick the field goal and you allow yourself to not have to convert 3 2pt conversions, which is unheard of. I’m all for analytics, but there is absolutely a human element to football and all sports that analytics can’t account for. Kickers have to be roughly 98% from 27 yards. That’s supposed to be an automatic 3 points. Looks worse because the kicker absolutely botched the kick. And people are saying with 27 seconds left and Ohio State having all the momentum ND should have pushed the ball downfield and attempted a longer FG? I think they needed to get into the locker room at that point and regroup without Ohio State getting any more points. [/QUOTE]
