Dantonio went for it on HIS side of the field, gave up a td, and still came back to win.

Game strategy from 25 years old is so relevant.mobey said:DJ won a lot of games by NOT going for it on 4th down.
It was the right call. The wrong calls were refusing to run it when our passing game sucked. -
according to this, it appears painfully obvious that Pete should've gone for it given how few opportunities UW had in enemy territory. did he not know how bad is offense was?

It's as if the USC win said, "sure... We can beat the most talented team in the country when we put our minds to it... Oregon just shows sometimes we don't want to."

NO it's not. When you are on the opponents side of the field on 4 th and 1 and punt .mobey said:DJ won a lot of games by NOT going for it on 4th down.

You:
A) play against the percentages of 4th and 1 and
You only have 24 yards to lose in that situation. Anyone who was actually looking to win a Football game would have went for that. -
Absolutely fucking this. The crowd and the defense were ready to join hands in a demonic sacrifice of all of VAJ's ligaments....until they hit 2 long scrambles in a row to completely take the crowd out of it. After that happened, there's no denying the collective,"Motherfucckkkiiinnng 0-12 is coming..." thought that ran through the stadium.creepycoug said:Chip Kelly would have gone for it. I am 100,000% sure of that. Jim Harbaugh would have gone for it. I am 98.97652543% sure of that.
So maybe there is more than one right call here.
Look, it's not like Peterman is protecting some national title run. The season is in the shitter, and Oregon, as we? learned, is still better. So if you're going to beat them, you're going to do it being aggressive; not by playing the percentages all the time.
I know what you're saying and it's not totally stupid. But great coaches know when it's time to grab your balls and say "GO!" I think even on the first drive, in that game, on that night, against that team, where they were on the field, you go.
The potential to get back up 7-6 or even 3-6 right away was well worth the risk. You need the crowd and the defense back in it. Once Oregon goes up two scores, when they've tacked 11 in a row on you, it's just fucking over for a program this shitty.
You're a fucking moron to think otherwise.
