You know, it ended up being a non-issue, but early in the 4th, my mother, who saw her first SMU game tonight, said, "if they had kicked that field goal instead of going for it, they would still only be down one score".

Poor coaching decision! You have a GREAT kicker and don't put the points up on the board? I can put up with plays that don't work, but out and out wrong decisions is unacceptable.

Yup, take the 3 when you can get it. He did the same thing last week
against UNT just before the half, but we got real lucky and did get the
TD.

Big difference in the two situations. I supported it against NTSU and was against it last night. What Bennett won't say is what he was thinking, which was that he didn't think they could stop arkie state from making touchdowns.
