Re: Cardinals kick field goal instead of going for TD, WTF!!!!
The Kentucky coaches made the exact same mistake this past Saturday against Tennessee.
UK was down 3 and had the ball on about 2 with 18 or so seconds left. THey ran a running play to get to the 1 and then called a timeout. They then threw an incomplete pass and there was like 3 seconds left, enough for 1 play.
So they kicked the field goal to go to OT, where they lost.
As you pointed out, OT will usually be a 50/50 deal (minor edge for the better team and possibly the home team) but surely your odds of scoring a TD from the 1 are far better than 50/50? Stupid.
