Do you really feel one touchdown would have much mattered though? Going for the TD hadn't really worked all game thus far at that point. Was within reach of a field goal and went for it.

lol, good one

Of course not. I was pretty certain it would be our last chance to score. But that does not matter if you are playing to win a game. Did you watch Auburn come back to beat A&M yesterday? Very improbable.

It seems that many LSU fans, and certainly those that support the hiring of Zero as head coach and E as OC are not really that concerned with winning at the highest level.

I already have in another thread. It's just a matter of math and playing the odds combined with we weren't down 21 we were down 22

Also taking account what you just said that it should have been automatic 3 and then obviously you go for the onside kick

It was 22-0, and the announcers did not agree with the call. Gary directly said the math didn't add up there.


Maybe I'm thinking of a different time in the game. What I remember is one announcer agreeing with the call and the other saying "I guess". Regardless, if it was 22-0 then I think we should have gone for it on 4th down.

Are you aware that a team can try a 2-point conversion?

A FG was not a winning decision. It was a make the coach look better decision.

Though I'm not a part of the O clan As you call it. Hope that does not disqualify my response

You would need to get 2 two-point conversions in order to win the game in regulation or get one and Bank on winning in overtime. Longer odds and taking the automatic three right then and there and going for an onside kick. I believe our odds of recovering an onside kick are much greater than 4th and 10 against that defense in that situation

The point still doesn't make any sense though.

If you score a TD on that drive, you need 2 more TDs.

If you kick a FG, get the onside kick, and score a TD, you still need 2 more scores.

Yes if he makes the field goal like he does 98% of the time from that distance and then we recover the onside kick of which maybe we had a 25% chance which is probably far greater than the odds of making that first down then no one is talking about this

What part of it is a hundred percent wrong? 8 + 8 + 7 equals 23. 8 + 7 + 7 equals 22. 7 + 7 + 7 equals 21.

So do you believe the odds of recovering an onside kick are greater than making the first down on 4th and 10 in that situation?

I want to know where the 2016 “pedal to the medal” coach O has disappeared to.

He is still pedal to the metal when it makes sense. Was it the Georgia game I believe we went for all those fourth Downs?

Wow just wow.Maybe he was looking for something even the smallest thing for some kind of momentum,and the fact that it was really a 4 score lead.People like you give me a rash.

We'd have to go for the onside kick anyway.

Kicking the FG requires 3 more scoring possessions instead of 2, with 10 minutes left in the game.
