That's a pretty convenient way to rationalize the opposing viewpoint. :noidea: You're also talking in truisms.
 
The bottom line is that every play call has risk. And every play call has the chance to succeed. You can like, dislike, argue with, or argue against any play call in any situation. But it is tough to complain about the coaching staff's decision to punt in that situation, with the relevant contextual factors that went into the decision. And, as it turned out, the next defensive series couldn't have gone any better if they'd scripted it up beforehand. I'm not saying that it was all on our defensive players. Some of it had to do with field position, and the staff correctly guessing that with a true frosh QB, that PSU wasn't going to dial it up in that situation. But kudos to them for recognizing all of those factors and making a risky call that got the ball back to the offense in good field position, with plenty of time to score the winning TD.
 
That's all you could ask for in that situation. Ball at the 40 yard line with 2:01 to play, with your offense in a position to drive for the winning score.
