Yes, if you're a team that have given up several 3rd and longs for first down

It was 4th and 6. You take them settling for a field goal. Which they missed by the way.

This is not even close to a questionable call.

1st quarter yesterday, McNeese has the ball on our 18, 3rd and 6 and offensive holding is called.

He didn’t and shouldn’t have trusted the D to stop them at the time.

In post game, Sitake said that the defense was struggling on 3rd down,

And he meant the D was struggling on 3rd and long in past games. McNeese was 0-10 on 3rd down yesterday.

Yes, exactly. They got a stop, unlike in previous games. He was good

Our D has struggled with 3rd and long for 3 years now...

I think it was a good call. You accept and if they score a TD there

4th down with them settling for a field goal is better than giving the chance to get the first down

I don't think Its a no brainer when you have the chance to push them out of fg range

I can appreciate Sitake's rationale as explained by specsauce and kccougar

It could depend on what you know about their kicker

3rd and long is our kryptonite

I see both sides of the argument. With our 3rd and long defense the last 2 years

And that's a fair reason to decline.
