Is anyone else tired of going for it on fourth down all the time?

I post on tigerdroppings and don’t make 11 million a year but I find it odd how much coaches have abandoned momentum instead of taking the points. I have an unhealthy love for lane but I can’t be the only baw wanting 3 instead of leaning on Leavitt on fourth down.

well had LSU gone for it on 4th and 1 against Kentucky this season may have been different.

That was much different than today’s fourth down attempts.

That’s the Lane experience. He has always done this. Go for it when you should be conservative and not when you should go for it. Dude is a mental midget

Today it felt like the regret of not going for it vs KY led to really bad decisions to go for it today.

Both instances backfired.

You can’t coach with regret from prior games.

The 4th down to go for it on was the 4th and 1 in the fourth quarter after Jones got stuffed on the direct snap. They returned the punt back to that spot anyway

Well sure, the program has problems. But passing on points really stands out to me

Yes, it’s inconceivable lane could grow and change. Crazy concept.

Questionable decisions aside, going 0-4 is pretty sad. Our players don't make clutch plays against the good teams.

Analytics would've probably told him to go on the 56 yd miss and definitely to not go on the 4th and 10 from the 25.

No I wish we would have had 1 more attempt today instead of sending out a kicker that everyone knew had no chance of making the kick

THIS!!

That yard felt like the difference in the game, just like Kentucky.

The 4th and 10 was insane. We were down 11 but still had almost 9 minutes left with 2 timeouts. You gotta punt that and trust your defense to get a stop

I really didn’t hate the decisions to go for it today. He at least was trying to get something going.
