They seemed to have little trouble getting it down to the goal line in overtime. I thought they had a pretty good chance of punching it in for the win. When they centered it on second down, my first thought was dumbass forgot what down it was. A win is a win, I guess. My confidence in this coaching staff doing the right thing is null.

Some folks are missing the risks running another play. A myriad of things could go wrong (and probably would with this staff). Correctly recognized is that fumble has a real chance of happening. In addition - You could have a hold, a personal foul or some other silly penalty that makes the kick more difficult. Risk was reduced by kicking there and not running another play.

Cody gave some information on that play from the presser today:

Why did the Cowboys kneel the ball and kick the game-winning 21-yard field goal in overtime instead of just pounding it in the end zone? Sawvel said after watching the first-down try by Samuel "Tote" Harris he saw the ball move in his arms after the sophomore running back took a big hit at the goal line. It was really that simple.
