4th and Goal at the 2 yard line

AtomicPiss

Why do people go for it? Why not kick the easy field goal and take the points?

RoadDawg55

Because the other team has to drive 98 yards if you don't get it.

PurpleJ

Purely to troll Derek Johnson.

Tequilla

Take this shit to the gameday board

greenblood

Because Mike Riley isn't their coach

PurpleReign

If Pete kicked the field goal after getting the ball in that same situation people would probably call for his head.

RoadDawg55

The percentages say you should go for it.

greenblood

You never settle for 3 early against a top tier team. Early field goals generally won't win you games outside of the SEC.

Cuz Royce Freeman

If Jonathan Smiff is your fucking OC....kick the FG every time

Tequilla

And for the record, when you have a defense like Louisville has, you take points any chance you can get them.

Not tonight. They needed TD's vs FSU, not FG's. It was the right call.

No, when you have a shitty defense you need 7.

Tequilla

And if you kick the FG early you only need another one after the FSU TD and still have a shot after that TD - not to mention that they may have played the the drive w FSU's go ahead score slightly differently

Going for it is the right call. The risk of of missing out on three points is completely mitigated by the benefit of putting the other team on their two yard line.

And how helpful would those 3 extra points have been halfway through the fourth quarter last night?

BennyBeaver

Because points are worth more in the 3rd quarter.
