Losers play for the field goal

play to lose...classic Manuel....literally nothing new to see here.
moving the ball nicely...plenty of time...plus 3...nah...let's use analytics and play the kid that hasn't had an attempt all game vs the QB that was finally settling down and throwing some darts. the loss is a perfect reflection of the Manny Diaz culture.

This game hurts more than it should. The fluke TD catch by UVA, the bounce off the upright. We have 3 losses and before the season the common refrain here was the worst we would do is 2 losses for the season. I don't think Manny gets fired soon, either. And, yes, playing for the FG was retarded.
 
You expect your kicker to make a 22 yard field goal. Best thing in that scenario is to take the final snap of the game. Blame the other 59 minutes for the loss but not this.

You play for the TD. If you end up having to try a FG, so be it, but the whole strategy there was bleed clock and rely on FG to win.
