No need to make that throw. It seemed like Corral slipped into a bad habit there.


At that point in the game it was 20-31 with 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

How many field goals had we passed on at this point?

I believe it was at least 2, but may have been 3.

Corral was playing desperately because we were so far behind. We HAD to score a TD here to just stay in the game. If we had taken the field goals we would've still been in it and shite, we could've even just gotten another FG here.

Getting into the redzone and scoring ZERO points is demoralizing. Even if it's just a FG, walking away with SOMETHING from the redzone is better.

I'm still pissed we didn't just take the points throughout the game to at least keep us in it at the end. To be clear, I REALLY like Lane Kiffin. But passing on FGs in the redzone during a close game is really hard for me to come to terms with.

We bypassed 3 FG’s and I would submit Coral wouldn’t felt the need to go for that pass had we had it closer. That would be 12 pts in an 11 pt loss……Additionally, Auburn wouldn’t have been able to play it “safe” in the 2nd half.
