Sort of. Next time, make it work right up the gut like the 8 plays you had just run. In the immortal words of the prophet Logan, run it til they stop it.

He also said the trick play was stupid and got BC off schedule in a game they should have won. Whoops.

Yes, because BC had a ton of fourth downs on that last drive doing nothing but running.

Yes, because BC had a ton of fourth downs on that last drive doing nothing but running.

so it is categorically impossible that bc could have faced a 4th down somewhere over the next few series of plays had they just continued running? there are no circumstances that would have led to a 4th down.

can i have your crystal ball? more importantly, why don't you use your crystal ball to better select your pick'em picks. if you had used your crystal ball, you might have avoided the er

So that explains Saturday's spectacular showing at the end of the game. Mixing pain meds and booze is a dangerous game, teddy.

I'll take my chances that a second down run with Outlow would have gotten them closer to a convertible 3rd down than the idiotic wing and a prayer call that they went with.

I was going to have to come on here and announce that Ryan Day called a great game, because he did, right up until that idiotic decision. FSU has a soft underbelly that a WR pass to the QB does not attack.

PS - I don't see any receptions for Rettig last season, but I feel like I recall that play.

I kept praying that on 4th down Day would call a fake Fg pass for a TD and BC would win the game. It probably would have had the same rate of success as trying that damn FG.

I wasn't the patient. Josh Bordner throwing to Tyler Murphy with the biggest game in years on the line (take that in for a moment) was pretty much enough to set me off

The second down play call sucked, sure. But on 3rd down, we set up in the QB draw play. I'm not 100% sure but i think that that play is built-in with an option to throw the WR screen. If you watch that play, the corners are backed off about 8 yards. Alston could have gotten a first, or at least gotten us in closer range for a kick.

We also would have been on the opposite hashmark, which I think might be part of the reason why Howell went out to kick.
