51 seconds left, you're down 10 at the 10 yard line with no timeouts

do you kick the field goal or keep going for the touchdown?

I say kick the field goal bc you want to get one score you need out the way and still have time after the onside kick

I remember TCU being in this exact situation vs. Texas Tech a few weeks ago and they went for it on 4th down instead of kicking the field goal.

I guess you are saying that its 4th down.


You kick the FG IMO.

Score the touchdown. If you kick the field goal, you are throwing away all of the time and yards it took to get there. It's tough to march down the field. Much easier to get in field goal position.

You go for the touchdown.

You are only 10 yards away. There is no guarantee you will be able to get down that deep after the onside kick, plus think about all the time you blew to get to that spot. You are going to kick the FG and then have to march all the way down to the endzone again? That would be stupid.

Score the touchdown.

Kick the onside kick and then you only have to go 20-30 yards to kick the field goal instead of having to throw deep passes and get it into the end zone.

TD easy.. If you get the onside you won't need to get to the ten again to get the three . Trying to get the TD from the ten may be your best opportunity to get that TD you also need

Get the TD. If you get the onside kick then you only have to drive ~20 yards and then kick the FG.

You might not be that close to scoring a TD again, so might as well get it now.

FG.

Onsides kick.

I'll take the Georgia St job for the second half against Bama. Look for lots of knee problems for Bama.

Kick the FG and preserve time. If you get the onside kick you at least have the chance to toss up a prayer if time runs out. You can't kick a FG from the 50 though. Unless you are Lane Kiffin of course.
