Haven't seen this discussed on the board yet - but what was John Thompson thinking when he accepted that holding penalty when his defense had stopped USF and set up a fourth down???  That was one of the dumbest coaching decisions I've seen in a while.

Hindsight is 20-20. I guess he was maybe banking on an interception or something but didn't he realize that was the ECU defense out there??

In his post game press conference he said he wanted to spark the team and set up good field position, but it back fired.

This was the dumbass call of the year.  Your defense stops them and you get greedy for more?

I agree, stupid call. My friend and I were shocked when we saw this; it just put the icing on the retarded cake for ECU's coaching staff. I think UCF could beat ECU, or at least outcoach them, and if all else fails O'Leary is bigger and the game could be decided on arm wrestling  8)
