Not taking the FG opening drive

[orangenauburn]

Came back to bite us in the ass.

It would have been 24-27, and we just would have needed a FG to tie.

That’s a stretch. We were up 21-7 and had numerous opportunities to put them away.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Didn't he miss the FG the 1st time around? Just a bit short?

Would he have made it the 2nd time?

 

[syrBossHogg]

Szymit missed a 46 yarder

I liked going for it

HE MISSED THE KICK

You weren’t going to run him out there after he just missed it by 5 yards

He let up because of the whistle.

 

[syrBossHogg]

He let up because of the whistle.

Debatable

Even then you need to score touchdowns to beat Clemson

He didn't follow through on the kick because the whistle

Do ya? Cause we just kept them in check until the last quarter.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Did you think we would force 4 turnovers on them?

 

[Cuse181]

He didn't follow through on the kick because the whistle

I mean, you can think that if you want he obviously didn’t have it

 

[CU44SE]

He didn’t kick the ball because of the whistles. I thought that was pretty obvious. I didn’t hate going for it. Needed points to win.

 

[orangenauburn]

You can't expect it but it happened.

Take the three and only needed three at the end.

Points are points


It was the first drive

Always take points in the first half.

It’s not why we lost. The officiating is not why we lost.

We had a comfortable lead and couldn’t capitalize on multiple turnovers. And then Fuentes made an inexcusable mistake. That’s why we lost.

The benefit is if Syracuse converts and scores a touchdown, they are driving to kick the GWFG even with the bad 2nd half performance.

You can't play conservative as an underdog.

 

[Giants1973]

Always take points in the first half.

Not taking FG in 1st half have to do with out come. They Blow a 11 point lead . Bad penalties and not capitalize on turnovers

There’s no FG to take. Andre is the Tyus Battle of kickers with his range

 

[sdhall01]

Szymit missed a 46 yarder

I liked going for it

To be fair, I think he heard the whistle and that messed him up.

 

[Scotch]

I didn’t hate the decision but I hated the changing our minds. If the FG made sense the first time around it still made sense after the TO despite Szmyt coming up short. We know Szmyt can make a 45 yarder.

 

[MSOrange]

To be fair, I think he heard the whistle and that messed him up.

Agree I think that had an impact. I wouldn't have let that change my decision to kick (not sure if that was what caused Dino to change or not obviously)

 

[orangemass]

Why did we not go for the 3 points and instead go for it. Could have gotten an early lead. Was there some wind? Should be well within range no?

 

[richmondcuse03]

He was kicking into the wind. First try was short. Perhaps it was short because of the timeout but I think there was a lot of wind. Flags at top of stadium were blowing in on that side quite a bit.

That’s what I surmised. 46 should be well within range for andre

 

[Chris02M]

the original kick was like 5 yards short
