why not call time out, try to get a first down, then take another time out and kick the field goal?
Don't want to give WSU any chance to score if you don't convert the 3rd down
If our pass was incomplete, WSU would have about 6 seconds to go 62 yards.
No reason to risk it with Miles being an absolute fucktard. Take the 14 point lead into half ... we get the ball to start the second half. Go get a score there, get up 3 scores, and continues to pressure, harass, and confuse FALK!!!
You're on the Cougar 40 yard line. Totally disagree. If you're truly fearful, then run a draw play with Cooper.

I just don't see the reason to give the Cougs any life to end the half. If you run a draw, you end up giving the Cougs a chance to still make a play in the passing game. If you try to kick a long FG in these conditions you might get it blocked and returned for the TD.

Right now the success of our team is driven by our defense, winning the turnover battle, and winning field position. The defense is playing well tonight. Durkee is playing a great game and combined with leach being FS over and over keeps allowing us to win the field position game.

Our offense isn't built to succeed in the 2 minute drill as it plays to all of our weaknesses.

Get the ball to start the half, get a score, and go from there. We're not a team built to win on style points. No reason to do anything that ends up in a FS end of the half like we saw down in Tucson.
