Let’s be honest

[SouthsideAtl]

How many of yall thought we’d play it safe at the end and go for 3 and send it to OT instead of going for a touchdown

 

[JHallCanes]

Not for a single second honestly

Not with how our defense was falling apart and our kicker missed a FG

How many of yall thought we’d play it safe at the end and go for 3 and send it to OT instead of going for a touchdown

Thought we’d have a flashback to Louisville

 

[LPK2006]

I didn't. I think the lesson was learned

 

[Empirical Cane]

They were going for TD 100% so long as down + distance + time allowed.

 

[Morey161]

Didn't think they would do it at all.

 

[RozayCane]

I was really surprised and happy we decided to score fast on that 2nd to last drive.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

We would’ve lost in OT. We weren’t stopping them. The defense was being held together with duct tape and prayer.

There wasn’t any play calls that I could remember that screamed let’s kick a FG. And then that 3rd down to Marion took all doubt away. Once we were that close, with timeouts and enough time, you had to get 6.

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

Nope that would’ve made 0 sense..we learned from the SMU game to finish your opponent if you have the chance..the Texas A&M game when Toney took the end around in instead of falling down should tell you all you need to know about the mentality of this team

We need a 1,000,000% react button for this

Anything can happen but if we went to overtime we were losing this game most likely

I’m sure our coaches were thinking the same thing

 

[PSU Cane]

Not me - particularly the fact Ole Miss has a stud kicker and our D was scrambling and dropping like flies with injuries. I even told my buddy that i wouldn't be shocked for them to go on 4th and short over a FG attempt if that situation arose to end it in regulation.

We got 24 yrs of conditioned behavior bro. Like a beat dog

 

[Colombie]

If Ole Miss would have failed the 2 point conversion I think we could have played it safe. Or at least that scenario would have tempted the coaching staff to go conservative.

But once they converted and made it a three point margin there was no doubt in my mind that we would try a long drive and go for the victory

 

[caneingville]

Nope

 

[Braduhley]

With our 3 top corners out? Not a second. Chambliss would've carved us up in OT imo.

Not at all - more worried if we could convert on those third downs.

Exactly this. Keeping up in OT was a tall order and you’re leaning into a tired Ole Miss D that last drive so they played it perfectly to go for the win.

 

[JG13]

I was muttering over and over "don't take a sack, don't take a sack"

 

[Go Canes!!]

The thought really never crossed my mind. There was no way we were letting this become a kick fest.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

That Mario is not on the sidelines right now
