    Sometimes you have to play to WIN the game. And the way our defense was playing the 4th quarter, I like our chances either way.

    I still think you punt there. It was a long 1 almost 2 - if it's less than 1 QB sneak sure. If you don't think a QB sneak will get it there put your best team on the field with them having the ball at the 20 at the least. 15 yard net in that situation is huge!

    Don't forget about the time factor, sky a punt and you run off an additional 7-10 seconds depending on if it lands in play. There will be no return at all. Only thing I'll concede to is if you say bad snap, but I'll take Murphy over having to get 2 yards.

    Coach Bohl also mentioned on his show this morning, that UNI has blocked some punts this season. He definitely didn't want that to happen.

    I was really surprised considering Bohl usually punts, but it was clearly the right decision to go for it and should be done every single time PERIOD!

    The situation was correct for all three calls. I didnt like the punt because it would have taken an extremely accurate punt to pull that option off. Pluss they had put some pressure on our punter a few times in the game and our long snapper had snapped the ball pretty high on more than one occasion.

    Going for it was not an issue with me as opposed to the play call itself.. We had had some pretty good results running the ball so thats where my thoughts were.

    Plus you play to win the game. Do dont play not to lose.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    YOu are forgetting the risk of the ref blowing it and calling a touchback when it goes out in the corner.

    Where we were on the field, scenario, our defense...absolutely the right call to go for it.

    The FG is hardly a sure thing at that distance, and even a punt has the risk of it getting blocked. I think with how we were running the ball at that point we had to try for it, and we went to Billy's side. UNI just stuffed it. I'm more surprised Brock didn't run it in that situation, but both John and Sam had had good gains to that point. I think it was the right call, it just didn't work.
