Message: [QUOTE="kirbivore, post: 2238109, member: 952"] two examples of painfully conservative play calling setting SU up to fail 1998 Tennessee. Don't make an attempt at the endzone on the final offensive possession. Playing for the FG and trusting a defense that was getting torched to make a stop. I'd rather they go for the TD and make Tennessee get a TD to win 2000 VT - SU up 14-3 under 2:00 in the 2nd quarter blocks a punt. The dome is rocking, Freeney is abusing Vick, and SU has the ball with a chance to go up 21-3 at half. SU gets the ball around the VT 25 with about 1:40-1:50 left before half. Calls 3 runs to set up a FG kicker whose name I forget but was useless beyond 40 yards. He predictably misses a 47 yarder, and Cuse misses a golden opportunity. Nunes sealed the loss later with one of his patented 30 yard backward scrambles and pick 6. [/QUOTE]
