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.

Now if the committee doesn’t screw us we get another game. (But you know they will)

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.

Agreed. I’m proud of the guys. I hope we get another game.

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.
