The 56 yard field goal wasnt a bad call by patterson, guy had the distance, just missed by about 5 feet
It being a bad call had nothing to do with the fact that the field goal was made or missed. Statistically, it made no sense on an average points per try basis and the lost field position dramatically dropped TCU's chance of victory at that point in the game, statistically speaking. There aren't any numbers that support that call being made in that game, at that time, in that situation. Now coaches go against percentages all the time, but you can't say it wasn't a bad call when every single objective measurable points against making that call AND in the actual game the kicker misses the kick. That's just stubborn.

He tried to gain 3 points, and in the process gave up about 25-30 yards of field position. His team struggled to score all night. His defense was shutting down Tech in the 2nd half. He had faith in his defense at that point. And it proved to be the right call, as Tech didn't score after that.
