In real time, I didn’t think Sitake’s decision to punt late in the 4th was a

I thought he should have played all 4 downs as a 4-down situation.

Yeah, that’s a separate matter but I agree there.

I always think it's a bad call when the other team has been dominating time of possession.

That’s where I was leaning at the time but I understood the lack of confidence

You lose then. In fact, I'd be willing to go back and bet we lose more than win

Always better to have 2 chances than 1, IMO. If the place on the field that we

Yeah, you could argue either way on this one, but if it were on the 40 yard line

Exactly, they were getting 4+ yards around the corner every time...KS got lucky

It took a literal miracle to win after that punt. Was a bad call.

SandYFan

It was a miracle because we again couldn’t move the ball when we got the ball

garyfan

It's not literally a miracle to complete a pass.

Prevent defense. It took a major mistake by the defense for us to win.

A colossal mistake for the ages

Miracle: the result of the play was a huge statistical outlier: unlikely to occr

9/8/19 11:51pm

Miracle? Sure. Literally a miracle? Settle down.

mulletino

9/9/19 12:08am

I get it. I'm just saying that I think it was a mistake to kick at that point

9/9/19 12:18am

We couldn’t stop the run and he was leaning on a gasses d to get a stop?

Cougarclaw

Thought that same thing. Lucky they pulled it off.

9/9/19 12:10am

I was fine with it, I was actually more upset when he didn't go for it on 4th

One play for 4 yards seemed like better odds than to keep them from getting a

Osteotome

9/9/19 12:31am

Yep. Instead of needing one play for 4 yds, needed one play for 64 yds

Well put.

Worked out. Bad decision

9/9/19 12:50am

It was the right call to make. If BYU doesn't make it game over. Best chance

I thought we lucked out big time. Never a fan of punting late in the 4th

9/9/19 6:49am

With 2 timeouts left, it was a good decision and it paid off in retrospect.

9/9/19 7:04am

Couldn't disagree more. If they didn't allow a first down you might have a

9/9/19 7:56am

He had to choose between getting the first down on one play

cougXor

9/9/19 7:09am

it was a poor decision that miraculously turned out OK for him

OGSuperfan

9/9/19 7:42am

Worked out, obviously. But, I think I'd have gone for it. 3rd down play stunk.

Love all these Monday armchair coaches. Hopefully you all have your resumes

Just because a decision works out doesn’t make it the most optimal play

gurt

9/10/19 2:32am

I wanted him to go for it, but wasn't critical of the decision to punt. That's one of those 50/50 gut calls
