Not a gimmie, but by that logic even if you miss it with presumably the best kicker in CFB, with three timeouts you can get the ball back. Hell Mevis was 9-11 on 40+ and 2-2 on 50+ this year. Give me two attempts and were golden.

ah but if you go for it you have the ability to run out the clock without the other team's offense getting the ball. The other scenario's involve getting a defensive stop:

if you kick and make it, need defensive stop to preserve win
if you kick and miss, need defensive stop to get ball back
if you go for it and make it, can run clock down and score TD or kick another fg
if you go for it and miss, need defensive stop to get ball back

Just to continue to play devils advocate. There are a lot more ifs to that third statement.

You go for it and make it (barely), get a holding penalty, incompletion, gain of 5, incompletion, now you have a 4th and 15 and an extra 5 yards on your field goal.

It's game time!

4 minutes left in the first game of the season.

You're down 20-21.

You have 4th and 2 at the opponent 35 yard line.

Your kicker is the Justin Tucker of college football.

Your running back is averaging 5 yards per carry on the season.

Your QB is averaging 8 yards per pass on the season.

What should the Head Coach do?
What are the weather conditions this day, and what do each teams injury and in-game penalty situations look like?

My vote for Sara was based on her voting for a known innocent for "reasons", then that lead to a little run on Discy. Seems like she was trying to pull heat off her teammates?

I am still going with this.

Vote Sara

Give the ball to Breece.

Play action and pass it to your TE, who is hopefully at least half as awesome as Charlie Kolar.

Also, vote Vikes. Just because of his vote last night.

Vote Cyclonespiker33. He accuses me of being mafia, but doesn't follow it up with a vote against me. I think he was trying to get a run on me from others today so the mafia could get an easy day hit.
