[QUOTE="CountryFrog, post: 3337577, member: 70667"] Fair enough. I don't think it's an either/or situation. Obviously it all started with the mistake by the offense. You can blame the decision to try and throw down the field I guess but it was actually a relatively safe play call. You roll your QB out to get him away from the pass rush and give him only half the field to read. If there's nothing there then he should just tuck and run to keep the clock moving. But either way it was an offensive mistake regardless of whether you want to put it on the coaching decision or the players mistake. As far as the defense just forcing a FG. Great. Now go do it again. If there has still been 2 or 3 minutes on the clock then it would be different. But with 50 seconds you have to be able to get that stop. That's what you have to do sometimes in football. And let's not forget by the way that one of those Texas field goals was only "forced" due to a terrible overthrow by Ewers when he had a wide open Mitchell on their 3rd down for what should've been a TD. The defense easily could've (and probably should have) given up 31 points in the half. [/QUOTE]
