Alford Bailey Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 First of all the ball went to the 1 not the 5 right? Second you would have to take a knee because SIU was letting you score there. Third what message are you sending to your team if you do all that? I'm not saying I was confident the defense would hold them but here's the other thing..... Did you see Oakes' 22 yard field goal attempt to make it 41-38? It was low and ugly, What if you do as you suggest and take the clock down and they block the field goal or there's a poor exchange? You do have a first year long snapper . That is what gets coaches fired. I think the only time you don't do what 41 suggests is if you don't have confidence in the kicking game.

HoosierAloha Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I can see it both ways in this scenario but... Why not kneel on first down to force SIU to call TO and give them one less opportunity on their last drive. On second down run it up the gut. If we score good if not they use another TO. Now, we either score and they're down to 1 TO or we're sitting 3rd and goal at the 2. They have 0 TOs and less time if we do score on 3rd down. If we don't score run the clock down and kick the field goal. Quote
Miller'sTheMan Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Griffin Oakes is 29/29 on PATs in his career. 100% success rate. Our defense made stops on 5 of 13 drives.... That's a 38% success rate.... The correct play shouldn't be so difficult for you all to see!!!! Honestly somewhat surprised we stopped them on 5/13 drives... Seemed like it'd be worse. Quote
IU Hoosier41 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Posted September 6, 2015 Honestly somewhat surprised we stopped them on 5/13 drives... Seemed like it'd be worse. That percent is pretty horrible. 3 punts 2 fumbles Quote
HoosierReb01 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 That percent is pretty horrible. 3 punts 2 fumbles Lol, yes, but its the 8 drives they ran through us at will that sticks in everyones mind. Quote
Alford Bailey Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 With this defense you don't ever give them the chance to lose it for ya. Dalton26 and IU Hoosier41 2 Quote
iubirdman Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 If we ran a play we were going to score, SIU is not stupid, they wanted as much time as possible to score, they were going to put up no resistance, that is why we needed to take a knee Quote

At that point they would of had what, 20 seconds or something and no timeouts? They would rather try to force us to kick a FG and maybe block it than let us score I would think. Quote
drewheck Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 You have to at least squeeze two plays out of that situation to make them use time outs so they can't stop the clock when they get the ball Quote
