re: Kirby Smart's loser decision

Between the 10 and 20 is a net 18 to 28 yard gain. You don't really start putting pressure on the QB /offense until you get it inside the 5.

But, I would think the purpose would be to make the offense go farther for a score....and if you can get it to the 10 that's even better.

I guess we don't know how confident the staff was as to our ability was to do so.

They probably weren't very confident in their ability to make the 4th and 5, kick a field goal OR punt inside the 10! That's kind of a no mans land. They will get second guessed no matter what decision they make. And, anybody second guessing them could make a very valid point. It's just a no win situation.
