ND was within FG range on that last drive. If we had gone for it on 4th down earlier and missed it, a ND FG would've tied the game with no time left and sent us into OT.
Fans are saying that the FG call showed CKS "didn't trust the Offense."
I disagree. It showed CKS trusted the Defense!
Take away ND's (easy) late TD for ND and UGA's resulting 3 and out and shanked punt, and UGA covers and no one mentions the FG decision.
Of course one could argue that if Kirby trusted the defense he would have gone for it on 4th and inches. "Even if we don't make it the defense will stop them."
It might have been fun, @Bankwalker, to have seen us go uptempo on our final offense series. There's more than one way to run out the clock, right?
Go, Dawgs!
Maybe he didn't trust the offense to eat clock and/or didn't trust the punt team to pin them down! Defense did a good job against ND -- I've got no complaints.
You're leaving out the 5.5 or so minutes between the FG and the last drive. You can't know how the game would have gone.
Maybe the trust was measured, as in “I trust the defense to not give up two TDs, but maybe not a TD and a FG.”
