I don’t understand the rationale for not kicking into the end zone.

What a heartbreaker - but what a comeback by the Ponies and a great year. Plus it's not over yet

I’m not sure if we do or don’t have a ST coach but this is reason for why you need a good one. Just bomb it into the end zone and force them to go 40 yards.

Wife went to bed at the half. I decided to catch a little of the 2nd half to see if Ponies had a reset. Glad I did. Great comeback. Hope they got the post season yips out of their system -- for this year and the future.

There was ZERO quit in our guys. They played their hearts out for the last 3 quarters, after having big-game jitters for the first quarter.

What a gutsy second half performance.

Unfortunate our self-inflected mistakes put us in a deep hole that we got out of only to shoot ourselves in the foot one final time for good measure. Here’s a lesson: kick the damn ball into the end zone when there’s few seconds left.

What a tough loss but we showed character after I doubted the team in the 1st quarter.

A lot of lessons to learn.

Unfortunately, we leave this up to the CFP committee to screw us.

As Dabo just said, there is a plan by God, just like Clemson lost a heartbreaker last week, they got their chance at redemption. Let’s hope we do too.

He tried to. Not enough leg with the elements.
