Situation: Miami is down 20-7. Any points by FSU makes it a very low percentage 2 possession game (down by 16 at best).
Have you guys talked about how the coaches declined a 10-yard holding call (at the LOS) on a 1 yard gain to the Miami 34? The holding call would have placed FSU at 2nd and 19ish from about the 43 or 44 yard line (out of field goal range), but instead we played for a single stop on 3rd and 7.
Mike Williams actually made a nice play in the middle of the field. He was called for a controversial pass interference. But, that's really not the topic of convo here.
It was a strange, zero confidence-type of decision by the coaching staff. As I said at the time, I believe it was a panicked decision. It's the type of decision that separates superior game coaches from the mediocre.
At some point, Al Golden is going to have to show us that he's more than a Public Relations phenom and a great planner/organizer. Can we win without the necessary game coaching? Sure. But, it will take a collection of superior talent.
I look forward to more of these instances so we can judge not only our team, but the "on the spot thinking" of our coaching leaders.
