You have to go for it there. Kicking the field goal leaves you open to losing the game in regulation. Disappointing that Kirby still wants to play not to lose rather than go for the kill with the best o line in the country

I'll agree completely. He got scared.

Miss it and we went to overtime.

There was time on the clock. I can see it go either way on the call. But with time on the clock, you take the points and hope that we could get Hotrod into field goal range again.

I would have leaned Fromm in on a keeper/sneak. Field goal was a bull crap decision and came very close to losing the game for us.

A field goal meant ND had to score two touchdowns to win. With the way the defense was playing, especially in the 2nd half, I think that was a rational call.

That made it a two TD game. Miss it and they can tie with a FG in the end after they got 7.

I thought it was a great call.

Hill doesn't have burst on the snap. He gets pushed back a lot.
Plus, we weren't really knocking them off the ball all game. They were able to get penetration on obvious running downs.

I wanted to go for it, but I also don’t blame Kirby for that call.

You don’t want to do what Kentucky did against Florida last week and give the other team an instant momentum boost.

Ehh, overall liked the crew tonight but they missed several blatant holds on ND all game.

Is it though? When healthy we probably are.

Hated the call but, going into that drive, I told myself to be satisfied walking away with 3. It was the right call.
