So, if we attempt the TD and don't make it and ND wins by a FG, you would've been on here giving o credit for making the tight call but losing? That's some funny shit right there... I can almost guarantee that you and most of the forum members would've been bitching about how we didn't get the sure points and let our d win it by forcing nd to drive the length of the field (73yds with 2 min left) to win the game...
Wrong. It's the right decision win or lose. Just learn from it and move forward. A winning program plays to win there. As I said 100 of 100x.
I was at the game. It was cold, and wet, and Canada’s offense all year struggled inside the 10. I didn’t think he played scared as much as he was trying to play smart. Heck, with the wind and rain, I thought we might miss the FG. I think he had more faith in Aranda’s D than he did Canada’s O. If Ensminger was OC, I’d bet he’d have made a different decision. We’ll see this year if you’re right in similar scenarios.
Yeah, I vowed not to attend LSU or Saints game after the LSU/ND game preceded by NO/TB the day before. I attended both, and we lost both after leading with less than 2 min. left. Sucked. The only thing worse was the Saints/Minn game as you’ve alluded to.
Hopefully with Ensmingers offense given the same scenario we punch that it on 3rd down from the 3. It was a damned if he did damned if he didn’t situation on going for the FG on the 1. I could see a lot of backlash going his way if we fail on 4th and give up the FG with time expiring. But, no one thought ND was going to score on a 55 yard play (which puts more on Aranda). However, in my opinion.....it was a rainy bowl game tied at 14 with 2 minutes left.....Feed your RB go for the throat and try an punch it in.
While you bullshitting, I loved that game... We painted the teams to match our favorites then used the number stickers for the jerseys... Brings back memories.. .
