I couldn't agree more with CSH on this one

The stat that hurts the most in the article:

The most points USF has lost by was 13 against Ball State on Sept. 22.

Did he explain why he burned the last timeout after getting a first down in the 4th? What chart did he rely on for that decision?

I think they're thinking of the loss to FSU, which was by 13.

I just want to make sure I am understanding this right - USF would go on to score another touchdown later, meaning they would have had the lead whether they went for two or one that situation, it didn't matter. Missing the two point conversion then would have meant they had to go for a second two with the last touchdown to try and go up a field goal. This is exactly why you wait and go for two late in the game when you absolutely have to, there's no way to know what scoring lies ahead with more than half a quarter to go.

Holtz's decision was absolutely vindicated, and we're here blasting it? Amazing. All the legitimate reasons to hate having this guy as a coach, and people feel the need to grasp at straws like this one.

Good points, and totally agree. Holtz doesn't deserve to get flack for this particular instance.
