Especially in your own territory. Analytics? What analytics are these coaches using? Not sure there’s been many times where a football team up 21-6 has gone for it in there own territory. I like Dave but he single handedly allowed Oklahoma St. to be in this football game. Punt the ball.

I don’t mind him going for it but field positioning was bad

The fascination of 20/20 hindsight.

I have no problem with going for it. I imagine most analytical models would say it was the right call.

The actual playcall and execution left a lot to be desired though.

That’s what I’m talking about. I mean I can understand going for it on the other teams 30-35 or something but on your own 35 up 21-6? No that’s just fricking stupidity.

Would you make this thread if they got it?

Pretty much all stats say going for it is better than not.

Nah that was a dumb decision. Every coach has one of these from time to time

Gave them a TD and shifted momentum
Just beyond a stupid decision.
Now Baylor will have to keep OkSt out of the end zone at the end to win.
