Kick the field goal or go for it on 4th down?

I think it's because he knew (assuming the FG was good) that Tebow and Co. would have had enough time to get into FG range.

 

very classy post.If you were a contributer,I would give you rep.:thumb:

 

at the very last 4th down try, I was shaking my head thinking how dumb of a call especially since we had alreayd done it 4 times! but....it worked so all I can do is say good job Les....great coach...we have to do all we can to try to get him from going to Michigan.

 

I don't believe we would have seen this with any prior coach. Part of it is Miles, part the evolution of college football. Remember Pat Dye kicking for a tie? Orthodoxy long dictated "get points on the board", "a tie is better than a loss" (pre OT), and on and on. This is a different game than was played even ten years ago.
