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.
