also, they weren't in 4th and 1's...it was always 3-4 yards from right at the 40.
and if coaches actually had the balls and intelligence they would realize that it is in their best interest (and statistically proven) to go for it on 4th and less than 4 from the 30 to the 45.
70% of the time when you punt you are gaining 10-25 yard because of the touchback
compond that with the 50% of the time that you would likely get the first down, leading to points.....it should be a no brainer unless you are in certain situations
up late
bad weather vs a bad offense
punting is the chicken shit way of saying, it's not my fault we lost.
Fresno State is done
another nice move
4th and 4 from the 47, punt
31 on the net and 1 play later they are right where they would have been had you gone for it on 4th down and missed.
I am a fking SUCKER for taking Fresno St. +3. What a fking joke that was. I honestly think Vegas LIES about the bet percentages. How can there be a greater percentage of bets on Boise St. (supposedly) but yet the line goes down to +2.5??? Seems like my betting days may be over soon....I just can't afford to keep getting fking suckered like this for the rest of my life....
statistics may be one thing, but they don't tell the whole story.
Miss one time early and give up a quick td and get behind, it changes the game. Not necessarily talking about tonight as much as "statistics" in general.
There is still a lot to be said for field position. Stats may work out in the end, but by then it might be too late if your behind and other team is playing with lead.
on that note, fresno sucks balls.
