lol true. But you make decisions that give you the best probability of a win.

Overtime is not the worst that can happen.

If I were Petrino, I take a safety with 3:50 left to make it 31-30 and make FSU

Yes. You are wrong

If you do that a field goal beats you rather than simply tying the game.

True. But as it was, FSU only needed to go 40 yards for a TD and the lead.

garyfan

10/30/14 9:13pm

It's a ridiculous idea. They wouldn't have had to go much more than 40 yards

But if Louisville can hold FSU to 20 yards, punting is stupid because with only

What gives you the best probability of a win depends on what you think your

Louisvilles last 3 punts were 31,31 and 32 yards. And on those punts

Only a great kicker could push them back to the 25 on a kick after a safety

rggee

10/30/14 10:00pm

okay so maybe not the 25, but Louisville does have an elite kicker

ayfan

10/30/14 10:10pm

not sure how you expect to give them the ball on their own 25. That's extremely

Uh......no

You think giving them points and the ball is better than just giving them the

Wow. That is 10 times worse than the idiotic Wyoming decision in 96.

hindsight: your's may have given a better result

Lot of people here disagreeing with you, but I think you're right

BertoChavez

An average punt puts them at midfield. An average safety return gets to the 40

Shimmy

10/30/14 9:48pm

But you don't get an average punt from your end zone. You almost always get a

BertoChavez

10/30/14 9:51pm

You kick from the 20 after a safety. Do you really want to give up 2 points

The Dude Abides

10/30/14 9:53pm

Yep. Even 20 yards isn't worth 2 point in a 3 point game.

Shimmy

10/30/14 9:55pm

Wrong. You don't get an average punt from the back of your endzone.

Shimmy

10/30/14 9:55pm

The effect isn't as bad when you still have the full ~15 yards to snap, but it's

BertoChavez

10/30/14 10:01pm

case in point: they got the ball at the 42.

BertoChavez

If you want to engage in result based analysis, I'm fine with that. That play

Probably 7 with 2 pts conversion

*7 or 5 rather than 4

Louisville has a very below average punter so assuming an average return is

ayfan

10/30/14 9:54pm

Normally this would be a bad idea, but Louisville punter was averaging 36 yard

ayfan

10/30/14 9:44pm

He wasn't deep in the endzone. They could run their normal punt formation.

Shimmy

10/30/14 9:49pm

To clarify - not saying to do this in every similar instance. But to me, FSU

Ohhhh thanks for clarifying. Still wrong.

I bet you could get a position on Bronco's staff with these strategies!
