Nevermind. It was 9. Apparently my math wasn't mathing today and I was thinking we were down 11


Nevermind again, we were down 11. 2pt conversion there makes zero sense

Makes no sense. TD and FG to tie. Not smart.

Why on earth Dave. I understand 3 fg's but do the math on the time. Stop trying to be an academic.. dumb.

Instead of making it a 10 point game we took the gamble to make it a 9 point game???

Make it make sense.

If Finn is going to be our quarterback, we've got to get his legs involved. That's the one special attribute he has.


He has carried the ball loosely several times early in third quarter.

I'm so confused by the 2 point attempt. What's the diffence between 9 and 10? What's dumb is there is a big difference between 10 and 11…

Boneheaded BS.

If we lose a close one because of that I'll be so pissed.

He's an electric runner. We've got to find him some lanes to run through.

Yep, Always has been. Stupid decisions constantly. Even in the championship year he had multiple major head scratching moments.

2-point decisions continue to be mind bottling.

I will say, I feel a lot better about this game than I did two hours ago. We're competing. That's a good sign.

This game would have been a blowout last year.

So you would have been down 10 if you simply kicked the XP. Now, you MUST go for two and make it to tie if you score and kick one FG. Either way you have to score twice.

Dave has to answer the media for that dumb 2 pt try.

Those decisions are one of the most important jobs for the HC on in game management. Just so fn dumb.

Any semblance of an offense would have won this game. Defense has been stellar.

Yep. I'm sure it's some stupid flashcard metrics call. But it's idiotic. It burns you far more often than it helps.

Way outside chance of stealing a win, more legit chance at beating the spread.

I still wouldn't put money on it.

You guys aren't giving Dave enough credit. He has confidence in our quick strike offense.

situational playcalling on offense over the last three years has been like a fourth grader playing Madden

We're in the game at this point. We'll have plenty of possessions to win the game if we keep making stops.

Need a turnover. Utah seems content to play slow, which could be a mistake.

I thought some obvious mathematical trick was right in front of my face, but I couldnt quite grab it...
