Too much is being made of that field goal. I don't like his justification, but that field goal itself was not a bad decision. On the other hand a fake field goal was a bad decision. Can't expect a back up punter to get 16 yards unless it is with his foot. That's a bad gamble on 4th & 6, let alone 4th & 16.
Similarly, I don't think Whitmer had a great shot at getting 12 yards (don't think he had a 12 yard gain all game let alone with a short field). If UConn doesn't convert, they still need 3 TDs, but now those TD's win the game instead of tie it. If the yardage was anywhere less than 7, I may have second guessed it more, but it wasn't. It was 4th down & 12.
I do second guess not using the hurry up offense at the end of the half. There is no reason not to. I also think that Clax maybe shouldn't see so much time next week. Can't have the ref calling your number so often for bonehead mistakes.
