4th and 1 under 2 minutes

Anyone as shocked as I was when we went for this especially when a FG wins the game, their K already made a 50 yarder, and our P had 1 inside the 5 and should have had another?

I completely understand that we get one yard and the game is over, but how many times has Bohl made that call in his 10 years here??

I think it was the right call. I simply look at it as the odds of getting the yard or the odds of making the fg. At that point in the game I would have placed the odds in our favor of getting the yard as better than making the fg.

We play to win. I think teams don't go for it on 4th nearly enough.

I'm mostly shocked that the direction of the play was more off tackle than dive. Otherwise, I have no problem with the call.

I was more shocked at the play call. Thought for sure it would be a brock keeper...and it looked like that hole was open as well.

Yup, I know Brock got stuffed on 3rd and short earlier in the game but #16 has always been the best short yardage option. Especially after seeing the hole in the right A gap I was very surprised Brock didn't audible to a sneak. Hinz fell forward to the 29 himself after snapping the ball, it would've been easy for Brock to do the same.

Tough call but it was the right one. Risking a punt return is dangerous and if it goes into the end zone we net like 10 yards. Field goal was long. Odds of making 1 yard is probably better than a long field goal

I agree with everyone above who says go for it, especially after reading northern Iowa talk of what arrogant bastards we are to go for it in that situation!!!!
