I hate this thread. So full of dumb.
No what's dumb is the archaic belief that "You always take the points when you are losing".
The game has changed the good coaches adapt (Belichik, Gus, etc.) You should go for it on 4th and less than 5 most of the time. You should call time outs on defense when another team is about to score to preserve enough time for your offense. There are certain times where running the clock is much more important than scoring points.
Here's a list of ideas you probably believe in that are all statistically wrong.
You punt on 4th down
Don't give up the deep pass (prevent)
You run the ball with a lead to control the clock
You kick FGs when you are up 3 (in the 4th quarter) and it's 4th down and you're inside 45 yards.

Some people can't think outside of the box.

Excellent point. I started a thread in the score board on this very topic. Everyone said I was stupid, while everyone watch Auburn go down like a $2 whore. Everyone against this train of thought just saw Auburn lose but are too set in their ways to see an alternative.
The bottom line for me is that Auburn hasn't been very good on defense all year long. They couldn't stop FSU in the 4th quarter. FSU was moving the ball at will in the 4th quarter. 1:19 is an eternity in CFB. Do you trust your offense with a first and goal or do you trust your defense with 1:19? The answer was very clear to me watching the game.
As soon as Auburn scored, I said to several people the game was over and FSU was going to win. Coincidentally, everyone of them agreed with me that Auburn left too much time on the clock like dummies. Hell, even Musberger asked if it was too much time left on the clock.
Football has evolved. The 2 yards and a cloud of dust mentality is over. Teams can move the ball in this pass happy, clock stops on every first down, we call PI if you blow on someone, game. It's ludicrous to give your opponent a CHANCE to beat you. You bleed the clock then go beat them.
Anyone trusting Auburn's defense was just foolish. They were what we thought they were. Porous, leaky, and inept. Way to setup Winston for his Heisman moment. Stupid.
