Not taking the ball at the 35, and having stanford re-kick. Brilliant.

The odds of a second return are the same as the odds for the first return. HTH.jecornel said:The odds of a second return for TD...almost nill

You're cute -
Gimme a break. Peterson had no trust in his QB and our WRs blow. I would've taken it at the 35 and I would've punted, but we clearly had no chance to sustain a drive. Sark would bubble screen to death. Finally, for those who believe Sark left the cupboards full, DIAFF. Game was brutal.beelzebub said:Sark wouldnt have screwed those 2 calls up, anyone still think Petersen is world's best coach?!

There really shouldn't be any debate about this. They have to kick it to your best player and biggest threat. Meanwhile, your offense has only scored 1 TD all game. And you gain an extra 5 yards. The odds are very low that you don't return it to close to the 30. Just happened to have a shit return. Big fucking deal. That loss of 19 yards had very little impact on the game. Still had a chance to tie the game with the ball on Stanfords 30, 1st down with a min left.
I didn't agree with the 4th down call but these are the risks you take to beat a better team because the percentages (and risk/reward of the situation) warrant taking these risks. Now if the game were tied, then you'd take the field position. Down 7 with offense not doing anything, you give Ross another crack.

It was a desperation call, the kind of call you make when you have no faith whatsoever in your offense.
Why the fuck didn't I think of that?
Or why did idiots not realize it was true? -
There is one giant flaw with your point. You want to make them kick it to your best player...but you make no effort to get him the ball yourself all game? If that's the logic, if Ross is worth the risk, then why not get him the ball more?HeretoBeatmyChest said:There really shouldn't be any debate about this.

It's a lot easier to score from the 11 than the 30.HeretoBeatmyChest said:There really shouldn't be any debate about this. They have to kick it to your best player and biggest threat.

Semi related, Williams wanted to beat Miley like a 12 by the end of the game. Cyrus could lose the team if he can't get the ball out to the playmakersallpurpleallgold said:

Not the same drive bungsniffer.
Your point (@apag) is a separate issue from the rekick question. I'm sure they tried to get him the ball but Miles being a limp wrist and Stanford's D made it very difficult.
