Exactly. After the TAMU and Vandy games last year, I know a lot of fans realized that we lost because we kicked field goals instead of scoring touchdowns. Obviously the ideal solution would be to avoid 4th down altogether, but against a team like Alabama that's not always possible. The only 4th down I didn't like was the 4th and 10, but I understand the reasoning that a field goal still leaves it a 2 score game (2TDs and 2pt conversions to tie vs. 2TDs and PATs to go up by 1). Had Freeze even gone 3-4 on those 4th downs I doubt we would be having this conversation. If Treadwell gets a fair spot on the first attempt and tucks and runs on the second, that's exactly what would have happened.
I'm sure Freeze will take a lot of lessons from the game, but I don't think he is going to take his foot off the gas - especially in a game most commentators agree we were playing with house money. Either way, glad he's putting this behind the team and focusing on Auburn!
