Clown Mario knows nothing.
And ran the ball in ot. Give him credit for that
At first thought I agree with you. But then I thought about it this way...
Good points. I still say you try to win the game, especially when the D wasn't exactly shutting them down in the 2nd half.At first thought I agree with you. But then I thought about it this way...
We had the ball on their 25 with only enough time for maybe 3-4 plays to drive down the field to get into field goal range with a QB who has already thrown 2 (should have been 3) very costly picks. That same QB despite having 5-8 seconds in a clean pocket is seeing ghosts, playing scared, and making poor decisions.
Knowing that, do you trust that same QB to
A.) suddenly become clutch? If you don't do you take the risk with the RB possibly fumbling? If he throws a pick or there is a fumble, there is enough time for Virginia (who still had 2 timeouts) to kick a field goal and end the game. And if they do there is no way (outside of a Duke lateral miracle) to get the ball back anywhere within scoring range.
Or
B.) Do you take the free 50 yards, guaranteed start in your red zone at your own 25, and trust your oline and RBs to get those 25 yards or at worst already be in field goal range?
The choice seems obvious based on the data we have. Oh and by the way I am in no way excusing Mario's game day coRching but in this instance he made the right choice to go to OT... again
Looks like Mario got onto Dawson for not taking a knee at the end of games. But what's wrong with more Hurricane football? I've enjoyed the extra football.
I highly disagree with your take on the defense. This is modern college football where the rules are offense friendly and team are scoring at least 4 TDs.
This part though is just… LOL if you don’t laugh you’ll cry.
oh yes the **** it chuck it with tvd or a freshman qb in his first start are better decisions. use your brain dude.
Your wrong but it’s okay

That’s the spirit.
That’s the part that makes it so infuriating! You should play to win the game. Taking it to OT is playing conservative football that leaves almost no room for error.
I was talking about relying on the defense to definitely hold them to a field goal at most in OT. They did play great considering how modern football is played today. However, I'm just talking about the decision to go to OT again. If UVA was consistently going 3 and out, I agree with you. However, UVA had 12 drives today in regulation, half of them went 40 or more yards.
You take a knee when your qb is not trust worthy. That doesn’t even take analytics
