"The chart says go for it" on 4th & 8 up 9 w/ under 1:30 to go at the FSU 23?

Yeah that's the only thing I'm upset with tonight. I can live with being aggressive, I can live with players making mistakes, but I can't live with bad coaching decisions in critical moments of the game.

Kick the field goal there and it's effectively game over. 31-19 with around 60 seconds left in the game and no timeouts for FSU. They'd be fighting to get that TD with short yardage plays and time would've run out.

You get stopped and suddenly FSU gets new life believing they can win a squeaker. It's honestly a miracle we didn't lose one of those onside kicks, very hard to recover three in a game, especially the way they were baiting the receiving team to touch the ball early with how the kicks were taken.

A win is a win and I'm not going to complain, but I don't want to hear that from Mario.... if that's true, he needs to get a new chart. I'd much rather like to believe he wanted to call TO but Carson didn't get the message and accidentally ran the play.
 
November might kill off half this board 😂

real question is there an actual analytics book or just every teams in analytics dept that crunches the numbers
 
Didn't mind it,
It looks like we tried to catch them off guard, Mario was gesturing that he would call the TO.

Now let's talk about 100 yards in penalties, or the fact that they didn't beat us over the top through 3 quarters, yet we stayed deep on the back end.

I’ve given up on penalties . It’s just part of the Mario experience .

Yes. It is a 2 possession game. A FG keeps it a 2 possession game. You go for the 1st down to ice the game or a TD to make it a 3 possession game. 12 points, 9 points doesn't matter, you're trying to kill the clock.

No. 12 points means they have flexibility in how they get those two possessions. As you saw when they kicked the FG to try and get the ball back for a second possession to win with a TD. If it's a 12 point game, FSU is forced to take up more clock trying for a TD on that drive. And if they fail, you never have to worry about the onside.

And welcome to posting.
