Taggart just blew any chance USF had to win.

Plus 3 would have been nice

What a dumb call.

 

i think in hindsight u would like to take the 9 points...

 

but nobody has the foresight to expect the QB and Center to s*** the bed and drop the snap on a 4th-and-1 conversion inside the 10.

 

as a coach with a struggling offense, there are two choices: play it safe and kick and lean on the defense or try to take full advantage of one of the few times your team has been in the redzone all season (last in FBS), in the #19 ranked "rival" stadium, and show the offense u haven't given up on them.

 

i can't blame Taggart for his call. i wouldn't have blamed him for playing it safe either. it was a call that u just cant tell how its going to turn out in advance.

Down by 7 and start the third with ball. Could not have expected any closer

Up by4 in 4th. Clearly didn't blow our chance... Bad call or not

Sometimes a play call like that gives your team confidence even if it doesn't succeed. If we take the field-goal we might be losing by 10 right now.

However, I would like those three points

Go back and watch DeDe walk up to him before the time out and practically beg him to go for it, telling him "we got this."

That same call at this point in the game is probably not the correct call, but at that time, it absolutely was.

We still need those points

[TrujilloBull2013]

yeah we do. i probably would have taken the points, but i see what Taggart did there and dont blame him for it.

Those 3 points are the difference now

I see your bump and raise you a bump

[USF_Grouper]

Or the inability to turn that last to into at least a field goal is the difference
