the last TD

[upperdeck]

what were people thinking, and i know most were thinking it..

what to do on 4th down?

I was hoping, go for it, leave 20-30 secs if we miss and dont go up 6 giving them a start from the 25.

100% I was thinking it, and I wanted to go as well. burn that 40 seconds more than anything

When we got the TD I said thank God because I didn't want to have anything to do with 4th down.

strange the 2 games in a row that a guy on D had an INT and simple path to the endzone to ice the game and both fell down.

Same exact thought...field goal?...only up by 6..go for it and not make it ...take some time off the clock...try and score from 90-plus yards out. They weren’t Clemson.

I actually didn't want him to score. I know, we'd go up by 10, but with over 2 minutes left, I wanted no part of Finley hitting pass after pass and giving them a shot at an onside kick to tie/win the game. I wanted our O to run out the clock. Or at least as much as they could, to leave NC St as little time as possible to score twice.

You've been burned by 17 years. We all have.

i was in the mindset of 3 pts does nothing in that spot and to run it twice worse comes to worse they have the ball inside the 5 with no timeouts and 25 -30 seconds

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

No way we were kicking it. Couldn't be unpredictable and risk going backwards on 3rd. Even on 4th I'd have sneaked it just to make sure Finley was throwing out of the end zone and would have to execute a play that gets out of bounds to be able to take a shot downfield assuming the ball was at the 1 or 2 and tried to push Dungey in.

BTW, I thought Dungey did a great jon eating up the clock on that drive.

YES AGAIN

If we got to 4th down, I was saying to kick it. Burning time could be done before kicking the fg. I believe the clock stops on change of possession.
