[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 376817, member: 1069"] That requires a very good offense. The conversion percentage has to be high enough to make it worthwhile and the defense needs some ability to defend a short field. In some years, the GT offense can do it. This past year was not one of them. Certainly, the GT defense struggled mightily in short field scenarios this year. Also, given that the GT defense surrendered points on all but one instance this season when the opponents were in the red zone, the expected value of giving the opponents the ball in a short field would be quite large, at least 3 points I'd guess. So every missed conversion in a short field would surrender 3+ points and the GT offense wasn't good enough to overcome that. [/QUOTE]
