Onside kick

[Townie72]

Kicking deep, assuming they don't have a big return, is likely to make them run more plays which gives you more chances to turn them over. If they don't move the ball you are likely to get better field position. Not a good call.

And you think the probability of turning them over is higher than success on an on sides kick?

 

[Cuseman78]

It was a bad call, folks. I was shocked at the time. Two, three minutes, okay. Five minutes and change, bad call.

It’s not even a close call. Sorry.

It had no bearing on the outcome of the game. If we don't onside kick it, they probably just run out the clock on us.

We should probably focus on the effort that we just put forth on the road in an SEC venue.

 

[AZOrange]

And you think the probability of turning them over is higher than success on an on sides kick?

Absolutely. Aside from a couple big pops we stuffed them all night.

 

[cuseguy]

What were the odds of us making a defensive stop and driving the ball down the field close enough to Kick a FG?


That's also way less than 50%

Uh, I like our chances.

 

[Townie72]

Yea, I'm gonna put the odds higher than that.

I guess you are entitled to your opinion ... but they are both very improbable. And by no means is it obvious that one is better than the other.

 

[skurey]

Uh, I like our chances.

Did you see that last drive?

 

[Bayside44]

It's genius if we get it, dumb if we don't.

 

[cuseguy]

Who knows. But I like our chances.

 

[bigmike]

And you think the probability of turning them over is higher than success on an on sides kick?

No, I think you trust your defense over a longer field and try to force a punt. Not banking on a turnover by any means, but more plays does means the possibility of a turnover increases.

 

[cuseguy]

Did you see that last drive?

Yeah, I did. Again, onside kick that early was just bad.

 

[longislandcuse]

And you think the probability of turning them over is higher than success on an on sides kick?

No. I think the probability of us forcing them to punt and then scoring on them is higher.

 

[Bayside44]

No. I think the probability of us forcing them to punt and then scoring on them is higher.

LSU moved it pretty easily, Dino likely knew we were done.

 

[CanadianSU]

Babers being roasted throughout the cfb world with onside decision and the 8+8=16.

 

[Townie72]

No. I think the probability of us forcing them to punt and then scoring on them is higher.

Give me a probability number so we can see how realistic you are being.

 

[Townie72]

One of the worst calls I've seen. I was sure Cuse was going to win that game till that.

Well, there you have it.

I'll bet you watch a lot of NFL games.

 

[Millhouse]

Plus the play calling changes dramatically when your backed up, they would have been a lot more conservative.

Yeah they might've ran the ball a bunch

Wait

 

[Townie72]

Uh, I like our chances.

Hard to argue wth that logic, if you can call it that.

 

[longislandcuse]

Give me a probability number so we can see how realistic you are being.

I'd put it at about a 65% chance we win if we kick off and put them at the 25.

I think we had a good chance to force a punt. (Execution is much more difficult at your 25 under pressure than at your 43) I think we had a great chance to score when we got the ball back.

 

[Millhouse]

Disagree. Field position changes things.

How?

How?

 

[Bayside44]

Babers being roasted throughout the cfb world with onside decision and the 8+8=16.

Why? Either hold them or get it and a field goal (we would miss it) wins it.

Way too early to go for 2. It almost worked.

 

[cuseguy]

Yeah they might've ran the ball a bunch

Wait

5 minutes left. Different game.

Once the onside kick failed, game was over.

 

[longislandcuse]

How?

Execution under pressure.

These are people, not robots.

 

[Townie72]

No, I think you trust your defense over a longer find to force a punt. Not banking on a turnover by any means, but more plays means the possibility of more turnovers.

There wasn't much time left. Two or three first downs and the game would have been over.

 

[cuseguy]

How?

Really? They go much more conservative at their 25. Football 101.
