Kicking the FG from 54 yards

[E1k]

Just seemed like everyone was panicking. It started with the execution to end the half then carried into the 2nd half. We looked like we never experienced a tuff game before

Agree. He makes it, it's still 2 score game. Mario must feel confident in the kicker

I get the thought process. If you make it it’s a 2 score game, but you can’t lose. Make them get 8 and 8 just to tie. But that positive absolutely doesn’t outweigh the negative of having it blocked and run back.

Your QB completed 25 passes in a row. Get 4 yards.

Completely agree. I didn't like the FG attempt there. Either punt or convert the 4th down

That sometimes isn't when you're hanging on to a lead and your team is getting injured every other play. Punt that thing and pin them deep. Make it it's a two possession game. Miss it and it's a two possession game.

Does anyone here think we were going to make it? I sure didn't.

Punting was the worst of the three options. We were on their 36.

Statistically going for it would have been the math call but we had also just had 4 three and outs in a row and appeared to be incapable of completing a forward pass at that point of the game.

With the way the offense looked you punt it because we would've only taken another loss with one of them cool screen plays.

We know Mario will also have one or two brain dead decisions per game. This was one of them. The other was not going for a TD at the end of the first half.

I was OK with the FG to end the half once the 10s runoff happened. Take the points

Dumb or not ..the entire team from top to bottom was shook af at that moment...hard to expect anything "smart" at that point.

This team hadn’t- until yesterday.

I can't be the only one that thought that was a horrible decision. Punt it or go for it. It was 4th and 4, I believe. Making the FG only makes it a 2 possession game, which it was at 33-20 anyway.

You have to go for it or punt. One of the many really bad coaching decisions last night.

The other was going fletcher pistol in the redzone when you moved the ball easily all night. Coaches almost lost that game.

That was a **** of a pre season game to get ramped up for Clemson in week 1.

Y'all get mad when he punts, get mad when he goes for it, get mad when he tries a long FG.

Lots of result playing on this thread.

If the kicker was making this in practice then I have no problem him attemp it.

The coaching display was flat out abysmal. This is the Mario everyone is terrified of
