I was just sitting here and realized how many times we went for it on 4th down needing more than 1/2 yard. Needing 25 yards from our own side of field one time.

Most were just bad decisions.

But the one time we can win a game on the road with a half yard to go we don't.

I have trouble with the decision making process.

The 4th call late in the game I understood and it was desperation but i understood.
The one that frustrated me was the 4th and 1 call and having a direct snap to rb. Why not do a qb sneak while under center

I thought the one from our own 25 was incredibly stupid. There’s no path to victory if it fails. The others I was okay with. I think when you have an aggressive nature like Kiffin, and your team knows he’s willing/likely going to go for it on 4th, it can take out some of the urgency out of your offense that they need to convert the 3rd.

Down 11 with 8 minutes to play???

No, that was outrageous and I have no idea what he was thinking honestly.

And I’m the biggest Kiffin fan on this board.

I knew we were in trouble when he went for the first one on 4th and 4 when getting points was critical.

He just isn’t feeling the moment and trying to create it. That Kentucky 4th and 1 is really haunting him, just needs to let it go.
