The squib is a common way to avoid big returns. It's not a bad call. The defense didn't stop the QB run like they should have, and then GT had a great kick.

You can always blame the coach for making the "wrong" call when things go wrong, but it was a textbook call, IMO

Of course, there have been a lot of statistical analysis guys who point out, year after year, that the "textbook calls" - especially late in the game - tend to be designed not to lose, as opposed to designed to win.

Enh - it is what it is.

That's horseshite. It gave GT the ball at the 43 yard line. That's inexcusable. Kick the damn ball deep and cover it or kick it out of bounds and let them have it at the 35.

You have to know your opponent though. Kick it deep, and the 20 yard scramble at the end means nothing. The likelihood of them hitting a deep pass was very low.

No, it was a bad call. Horribly bad actually. We have great coverage teams and were only up by 3. Terrible terrible call that cost us the game.
