[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 834063, member: 4572"] Yes pick the one outlier of the bunch to make half of your point. You said we shouldn’t punt either. In the 72-0 game Pres. was 2-8 on 4th down. In the 63-43 loss, they jumped out to a 23-0 lead. To that point their opponent, Dayton, had mustered 10 plays for 12 total yards. Instead of trusting his defense who had played well, he kicked [I]another [/I]onside kick which they didn’t recover, and Dayton score a touchdown on a short field their ensuing possession. Presbyterian got a safety their next possession, and on the safety kickoff, they tried [I]another [/I]onside kick, which again led to a touchdown. So after being up 23-0 in the first quarter, instead of putting pressure on an offense who had done nothing all day, he handed them free field position and Dayton went on to score [I][B]49 [/B][/I]unanswered points. Seems pretty smart huh? In the 38-30 game they turned it over on downs twice in their own territory in the first half which led to a field goal and a touchdown. One of those downs turnovers was on 4th and 15 from their own 11 yard line. They outgained their opponent by about 150 yards, and had 9 more first downs. One of their onside kicks in the first half led to a short field and an opposing touchdown. Their defense played a good game, and had their coach not been a moron they would’ve won the game. How did we go from wanting to slow the game down so we didn’t get blown out as bad against Clemson last year to being okay with getting beat 72-0 as long as we go for it on 4th down a lot and kick onside?
