The evidence is pretty strong that you should go for it on 4th and 1s in the opponents territory.
Not with our o-line you don't.
With the best running back in the country you do.
APAG is right, the math is there. Plus kicking a FG there is Tyrone Willingham like. Don't be upset because the result sucked.
Be upset with the play call. Going for it was the right call, that call in particular was a fucking dreckfest.
Only time kicking a FG is acceptable there is if it's late in the 4th quarter.
Bullshit. This team is less than 50% on converting 4th downs this year. That leaves the expected value of going for it right around 3. You take the guarenteed 3.
A meaningful statistic would be how often they convert on plays where the goal is to get one yard (i.e. 3&1, 4&1)
Is that statistic even kept? Anyways, fuck you guys. I'm risk averse and I don't like our OL in obvious running situations.

I can't wait to see players actually get better in this program instead of regress.
Shaq, Feeney and Timu need to wake the fuck up.
Wait, learn to tackle first.
