I think of that example often. Sigh…

I don’t think he like how Nebraska treated his guys last year.

Effort should count for something, right?

Gamble either way.

Run and punt. Iowa fans understand.

I’ll take it. Dude needs some good things to happen for him, even against my Bears.

A more experienced coach just runs the ball and punts, too.

It’s Football 101, and yet more and more defensive schemes allow edge players to give up the edge quickly in order to “run to the path of the ball”. It’s a garbage philosophy. Stay home.

We need somebody to run down to the Butkus store and pick up another linebacker real quick.

Yikes! Didn’t not see that one coming. Woof.

Honestly there are a lot of factors to consider. But yes, generally speaking, if there’s 30 seconds lefts, you should feel pretty good with a 3 point lead and kicking off.

Technology replaces more workers than “illegal immigrants” do in our country by a large margin. Yet a certain voter block defends the tech billionaires & corporations replacing them and focuses their anger & hate on their fellow humans who are also just trying to make a living. It’s by design.
