    I might get some shit for this, but I honestly don't blame Lanning for going for it in all those situations, except for maybe the last possession. He's thinking that he's had their way against Washington's defense, and that Washington's offense is not going to stop scoring touchdowns.

    Instead, I credit our defense for making plays when it mattered most. Clutch. Winner's win.

    He didn’t want to put that game in Penix’s hand. That’s it. I don’t blame and if Penix score you have more time to drive down for the field goal. Just like in 2018, kicker fucked up.
    I get not wanting to put it in Penix’s hands, but he was clearly banged up, and the Oregon defense made some stops in the 2nd half. Why not trust your defense and make him go 80-90 yards?
    UW would have been at the 50 after 1 play if Oregon had punted, and then everyone would have been bitching about why Oregon didn’t go for it.

    The decision there was the right one. The playcall was aids. Too much horizontal roll out shit.
    Fair poont. The call was ass, I agree. DeBoer would have gone for it there too.

    Don't try and change the subject. I'm somewhere on the ADHD spectrum, but I can focus when needed.

    I'm with @ntxduck. I disagree with every single one of Lanning's 4th down calls, but I also liked Chris Petersen, so I guess according to this board that establishes a long history of being a bitch. Poont is, reasonable people can disagree on the intelligence of going for it on 4th down (statistics suggest it's usually the smart move), but NOBODY ON EARTH can defend losing a game because you run a play instead of taking a knee.

    It's the difference between winning the annual Fake Tough Guy Award° and being a total fucking retard, regardless of who beat an entirely different Husky team with an entirely different staff and no big Penix.

    It's 100% the right call to go for it and end it there.

    Not taking the points before half was a big blunder, but 3 yards to ice the game midfield-ish knowing UW gonna score, you do it every time.

    Let me help you out, because our feathered friends have confused the conversation.

    Mario 3, UW 0

    Danning 0, UW 2

    Nothing Cristo does or does not do at Miami has a single thing to do with that, so bringing it up is, at best, obfuscation. Miami beating GT in even the medium scheme of things was nothing. By being that close, I knew what was going to happen the rest of the season. Yesterday? Different stakes.

    Washington was great yesterday, but Oregon's coach stole the V from his players. It's fairly straight forward. Even Danning admitted that he'd like a do-over on the end of half FG. Uh, yeah? No shit. You lost by 3. If you were smart, you'd want a do-over on the other one too.

    Don James won a lot of games kicking field goals on 4th down. Ask @RaceBannon .
