FG vs going for it

[MichiCANE]

Ok, I know this is asking a lot, but I’d like to get an honest opinion from the board.

Personally, I thought it was a soft move. You need to go for it. At that point, they had gotten 2(!!!) defensive stops ALL GAME

 

[Colombie]

I am old school.

Always kick the FG and trust in your Defense to make a stop with that much time left.

 

[CANEMC]

Ballsy.

 

[Brains]

ALWAYS kick the FG in that situation. You must give yourself a chance to win. If you don't score a TD, you're cooked.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

Tough call man, I think getting jipped twice with a review and a bull**** false start would’ve been a mental game against us for going on it on 4th down a 3rd time

 

[P-Tizzle]

Go for it. You need a TD. 4th and 5 is better than down by 4 and not knowing if you get the back ball or what the score is when you get the ball back. If Miami doesn’t get the TD there, NCState has the ball at least on their own 5 yard line.

 

[JG14]

I wasnt for it but I'll tip my cap to him as it worked out

 

[AutoCANE]

That decision is what won the game. If he had gone for the TD after the penalty that would have been coaching scared IMO

 

[MichiCANE]

Again, just my opinion, but if that would’ve worked our wrong, this board would be on fire and people would rightly be calling for Manny’s head

 

[Roncaneefc]

I'm sure there is a chart or something. Predetermined.

 

[Page305]

At first I thought maaaan our defense has played ***, you better go for it. But then as the fg was made it hit me that Manny just made the smartest decision of the season. 2 tds got called back. It just wasn't meant for us to score and I'm thankful Manny realized that.

 

[supersaiyanshel]

After the penalty I thought it was a no brainier. You had a full allotment of TOs, your qb was having a transcendent game and a decent amount of time.

Kinda surprised Manny was questioned at the time.

 

[AtlAtty]

I thought it was correct. You have to believe with 6 minutes and 3 timeouts that your defense can get 1 stop.

Logically, I was for it. There was 6 minutes left...that's enough time to stop them and get the ball back with meaningful gameclock....even allowing NC State a first down.

In my heart I wanted them to go for it, especially after we scored twice and had it taken away.

 

[puertorricane]

He was playing for the win so I agree.
No matter what we needed two scores to win.

 

[Ver]

The way that sequence was going I don't think we would have scored a TD, you take the 3 points, if you can't get the ball back you're not winning either way

 

[chrisRMNU]

You need a FG and TD to win. The order in which you get it does not matter. Now, I will say that from the 1 foot line you go for the TD. But once the refs Fvcked us on blowing the TD dead and then the false start, you take the 3 points. If you get stopped on 4th down the game is essentially over because it's a gigantic momentum swing.

 

[Southbeach44]

Tough call...fg is the right call, especially when you have a first round kicker..

 

[AtlAtty]

Andre Ware is worse as an announcer than he was as quarterback for the Lions.

 

[Poptimus]

I thought to myself, “what would Bill Belichick do?” and I genuinely believe he would have gone for it. Obviously just conjecture, but I thought worst case you pin them down at the 5.
