Take the points!!!!!!!

Yep, our defense is playing well now and our offense is playing better-than-okay. I’d take the 3 points.
Qb sneak? Draw them offsides? Play action? Or Chase up the middle?
Play action pass to a quick slant could be a TD here but I’d feel a lot less nervous by taking the points
If we do go for it, I want to see a playaction to Chase up the middle then have a TE sneak out to the endzone with a backup being a Devito boot and hope he makes it.

The stats would tell you to go for it here.
That is because the stats would indicate an expected TD% from 1st and goal at the 5 that is much MUCH higher than this Illinois team playing against this Michigan team would bear out in reality.
Get on the board, keep playing.

“I will be okay with any decision that works, and will disagree with a decision that doesn’t work and pretend that the other decision would have been better” - what we all mean no matter what we say.
This ain't Purdue.
That's ok, take the FG.
Glad we jumped, take the field goal.
Nice work o line.
never mind
The O-line wanted to kick, too.
I’ll take 7-3 at this point - assuming the defense can hold.
The OL knew what was up. Glad they jumped.
Killer mistakes on a few plays (missed blocks, mainly on the reverse) cost them the chance at a tie game. Still, got the defense some much-needed rest.
Untimely false start, but as others have said, I wonder if it proves to be beneficial.

well, that could have been a blessing that we jumped, and forced a FG, we got points.
WHAT AN ACE. Never in doubt
