We won the game. You can second guess the play calls all you like, but we won. That's what matters.

right. out of 138? teams, I feel like maybe 5 coaches would have done exactly what we did. try for the touchdown. there's a greater probability that you miss the field goal than you fumbling at the 1. Am I taking crazy pills or do some of these posters have the same mental capacity as jay?

I don't know the number of coaches but to me it was a sign of weakness and uncertainty. And I am embarrassed for Harris and Holman. And honestly, I am tired of UW's baseball scores. Get some points on the board.

I heard something last week that sticks with me. No one expects Wyoming (or any Group team) to challenge for a national title. The best we can hope for from here onward is to be...relevant. Just be relevant and try to put a decent, disciplined squad on the field.

I actually think that is exactly what Bohl did. He brought back relevancy if not superiority or dominance. Being afraid to run the ball from the 1 yard line in OT is submission to the fact...UW is inferior and largely irrelevant.

QB sneak was the right call. If you don't get it, kick the field goal by all means. But we had just run down their throat and they were on their heels. Take at least one shot with the sneak.

An earlier sneak was stuffed for no gain at all. You want to at least get the ball centered as kicking a field goal from either hash on 4th down means a greater angle for the kick as you get closer. In any case, it was nice to win one even if it increases the chances we are stuck with Sawvel for an another season.

Except it was 2nd down when we centered it. There was another down to center it after that.

It was clear sawvel had no faith in the offense to get a td. He used 2nd down to center and 3rd down to kick it in case there was a bad snap to still have 4th down to kick it.

I would have done a handoff to holman going to the left side of the line on 2nd down. If he scores game is over. If he doesn't it is probably pretty well centered then and you still kick it on 3rd in case of a bad snap where then you still have 4th down.

No complaints from me on the win, I have just never seen a coach prefer his chances on a kick over going for a td as usually going for a td is a "safer" option. It told me sawvel has zero faith in this offense or their ability to score as he decided his best chance to score was to kick once we had 2nd and 1 from the 1

And expect (i.e. demand) that your kicker can kick from either hash mark...like every other team in the FBS.

You guys are acting like we are an average team with an average offense. We are a bad team with a historically anemic offense. I'm not sure why any of you have confidence in our offense to get into the endzone without fucking something up.

In reality, Sawvel's decision speaks to just how bad our offense is. 1st and goal at the 2-yard line and we cannot even trust our offense to punch it in. I mean, we were in that exact scenario earlier in the game and came away empty handed while turning the ball over on downs. Not even the head coach, who is fighting for his job, trusts our offense.
