17 point ceiling

[Gismo]

Is now confirmed, the 4th law of thermodynamics.

Lmfao, I was thinking the same

[2000bull]

I always thought we had to score more than 17 to win, but I guess my theory was blown tonight

USF passed on a fg. Could have had 17

USF passed on a fg. Could have had 17

and yet another poor coaching decision

[TromBull12]

Hindsight is 20/20. I thought that going for it on 4th instead of taking the 3 points was bold. I mean if he didn't people would have complained saying he coaches too conservatively, it's SMU for crying out loud. Since we went for it and didn't convert people will complain that we should have taken the points... He can't win. Either he has balls or he's a wimp.

Kicking a FG in that situation does two things. 1 helps the true freshmen QB. 2. Creates a psychological advantage by putting SMU in losing position. Instead of getting the first down USF gave SMU hope.

Scoring a TD does too, even more so.

No problem going for it. Problem with playcall.

It was essentially a wash as they missed a fg.

[Blackice12]

The fg was the higher percentage opportunity and more inline with the character of the team. That showed desperation.
