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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10/30/14 9:48pm
But you don't get an average punt from your end zone. You almost always get a

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

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

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

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

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.

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