[quote=FoSho]It was the right call under the circumstances. 4th and 7 is asking a lot. His D had stopped UK the previous few drives, why would he think things would change? The real travesty was the play call on 3rd down. He should have run the ball if he was thinking about going for it on 4th.[/QUOTE

The fact that his d was shutting us down is the very reason they should have gone for it in my opinion. If you make it, you’re almost certainly gonna get a td and take the lead. If you don’t, then U.K. is stuck somewhere around their own 10 and you still have all your timeouts. All the field goal did was bring that into play if they held us, but another fg still only would have tied it, game still up for grabs. Plus after a kickoff we were almost guaranteed better field position than if they had gone and not made it. I just don’t see much upside in kicking the fg in that spot.
