Or punt and risk giving up another TD like you did TWICE PREVIOUSLY IN THE 4th QUARTER. Boise had all the momentum. You never give the ball back to a hot team with 2 minutes left, especially when they only need a FG to tie, unless your goal is to lose. Also, the numbers/stats would not tell you that 10/10 times you should punt when you need 4 inches to win the game on 4th down. That is a trump-esque statement with zero validitiy to it except in your own mind. Especially when you can end the game by getting 4 inches. I think most coaches in today's game would disagree with you. Obviously ours did, and it worked out. 

Your blanket statement and fake facts of 10/10 times take nothing from the circumstances, momentum, flow of the game into account. Here is the real data:QB Sneaks on 4th and short are successful 80% of the time. 4th and inches is even higher. Nearly every statistical study suggest that in most 4th and short situations, going for it is the proper percentage play.
