BK excuse for going on 4th and 12

[NIN Irish]

Did anybody see his excuse for this call instead of trying the kick for a 41 yd field goal? Another terrible decision in a 3-3 game when your kicker just hit a 40 yd field goal a series earlier.
Sorry if this was mentioned already

 

[Toby Smart]

Well, what was his excuse?

Well, what was his excuse?

Well, it was probably to score a touchdown by bombing it 40 yds in the driving rain and wind, despite the obvious inability for the offense to move the ball.

Oh, I thought he said something in particular. I didn't see the post game presser. Kicking was the right thing to do but even that wasn't a sure thing. I'm really puzzled on why there was not a contingency offense using MZ if the weather was going to be bad, which, oddly enough, they knew it was going to be bad early in the week. I really think BK jumped the shark yesterday, even with his biggest supporters.

Bingo. You are exactly right. There really didn't seem to be a contingency plan at all. NC St. clearly had some alternative formations and approaches already to go. ND was clueless. And, that, my friends is coaching; not player performance.

Yoon had made a FG just minutes earlier from the same distance.

 

[die4irish]

he said that the previous kick made him nervous because it was so low.He was worried that at 1 yard farther back the kicked maybe blocked and returned for a score.

BK common core math
4th and 1 kick the fg
4th and 12 from 1 yard farther back go for it.

 

[mbd11]

He said they didn't kick it because of how low the previous kick was, so they didn't want to risk a block.

Kind of strange though, because we had made the other one. And with the way the passing game was going, 4th and 12 was more like 4th and 42.

Hey the guy has taken ND as far as his talents will let him. Time to thank him for his service and bring in the guy for the next level

Kelly's thinking is, was, and always will be incoherent. He is a block head.
