[QUOTE="Hoppy2105, post: 1236832, member: 9835"] This is understandable but I wonder why we didn't run one more play that either went up the middle (keeping it on the left hash) or to the left (resetting it on the left hash). Had we gotten even one more yard we could be 2-3 right now. I think that was a coaching mistake. I think punting against Nebraska with 3 minutes left on a 4th and 1 was also a coaching mistake. Especially with a gassed defense. I know there is a "decision tree" or something on what a coach should do in certain situations. A sort of "if this, do that" thing. But sometimes you have to be in the game and make the decision in the moment and not base your decision on a pre planned script. Helmuth von Moltke once said "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy." I think good coaches have a feel for the game and what they should do at the right time. I hope Lovie has this feel but those two end game decisions the last 2 games would indicate otherwise. I'll be interested to see if Lovie Has it and I'll be watching closely over the next few years to see if he adapts to this style or is stubborn. [/QUOTE]
