I know people are on Kalani for going for it on 4th & 2 in 2nd half. But we only

They both are use to playing "slow". But I 100% agree you would think they would both have more of a sense

I liked the aggressiveness, just not the play call. A slow developing sweep wasn't good.

The lineman that tackled TA wasn't blocked well at all. Horrible blocking

It was weird to watch. At one point, I was wondering if the coaches even knew

People in the NFL and NCAA are going for it on 4th down more than ever. The analytics are clear. It was the right call.

I don't care about the analytics. I didn't like that call. If we punt, odds are

I don’t trust the accuracy of the analytics in the specific case we faced Sat.
