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

this situation came up in the Chalmette/Belle Chasse game and our QB made a dash for the end zone on a QB draw, but was judged to have fumbled when he got in (PA Announcer: TOUCHDOWN!!!... shite, yes he really said that- fumble on the play...) , and Belle Chasse recovered
when you get to that point in the game, you want plays and time more than anything with no timeouts. you're gonna have to onside anyway, might as well have as much time as possible...

At the 10, touchdown. Because you can get in field goal range at the 25-30, so that's 25-30 yards you'll need if you successfully recover the onsides

Kicking the field goal makes you feel better because you feel like that drive was successful and you still have a *chance* to win with time on the clock.
Whereas if you go for it and don't make it, you know the game is over even though there is still a minute on the clock, and there is nothing you can do about it. You can see that error more. It's in plain sight.
But going for it gives your team the best chance to win.
