Of course not. Depends on game situation.

We just need to execute better. We need to change our play calls in those 3rd and 4th and short yardage situations. We cannot just never go for it on 4th down. Especially 4th and short situations.

If you don't throw to the tight end, yes. Take the 3 points. Had we done that against USC we would have won the game and almost blew it against USCE

Nice, they can call our variation the Nuss bus.

Inside the 5 yd line, yes, take the points every single time early in the game, especially.

I get the feeling Bk is doing everything he can do be the opposite of Les Miles.

He always goes for it on 4th down and refuses to put big emphasis on the run game and defense. It’s like when he was hired the deal was that he had to study the Les era and make sure to not be like that.

Fourth down conversion attempts inside the opponent's 5 yd line, yes. Just kick.the.d*m.FG! It can't be more simple than that, unless it's late in the game and the attempt is needed to tie or win.

I think it's more situational than that but I agree.

Sadly that is where we are and what we should do every time unless it is late in the game.
