[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1788853, member: 623415"] More deflating than getting stuffed and coming away with no points after being first and ten from the 6 yard line I believe? Not to mention giving Indiana a mental lift. And the Illini D once again seeing the offense Gail to score points. I do agree that if you’re gonna go for it, you need a much better play. I know the “book” likely says go for it, but I’d take the points at that point. A FG puts you up 4, so they need a TD to win. And yes I know that is exactly the scenario they ended up with, a FG there puts them up 4 with 10 minutes left. Could have very well got another FG in the remaining time to where IU then needs TD plus 2 pointer to win. I know I’m not gonna convince you that should have kicked FG there, but in that situation I would have liked to see them do so. Just my humble opinion given the situation and how Illinois was playing at the time. I will say I was happy for Caleb to hit that late FG. After his first game, a miss there might have really messed with him. [/QUOTE]
