It was 3rd and 5 in the first over time and wos lined up for a fg. The only reason I could think of they did it is because they wanted to keep the ball in the middle of the field and not have to kick from the left or right of the field. Bad call imo especially when you have a back like Lindsey on your team.

I see. Also, sometimes you try a FG on 3rd down just so that if you have a bad snap or hold, if you do not get the kick off, you have another down to try.

He was just trying to win the game.  It was close.....just didnt pan out. If it was made the coach would have been a hero.
[/quote]Exactly right, bad snap or hold you get a second chance. The way he was kicking I would have bet the house on him making it. Danged if you danged if you dont kinda deal.

Seems to be the correct call from what I have read.... your opposition fails to score on first possession.... you have the ball within FG range.... so instead of running another play and getting a penalty that pushes you out of range, or a fumble....  you take the FG try on 3rd down so that if you have a mis handle of the football you still have another shot at the FG or a hail mary for the endzone if its a bad lose on the snap..... I see no problem with this call at all.... other than the kick was missed....

just my opinion...

Even though their kicking game is much improved it's never been their strong point and has cost them games in the past.

Too many coaches in the stands. ;D
[/quote] Coach Owens was in the stands, setting next to me, and he agreed with Skipper, 100%.

If, ifs and buts were beer and nuts  we would all have a party. ;D

That is exactly correct in my opinion.  Could've been handled several ways, but the call by the coach was not a bad one.

Although i didn't agree with the call, it isn't m place to critisize. Trust me, coach t has been around the block. There was a good reason for him to do it. Personally, I would have run another play. On that drive, lindsey was running through them. We had third and goal from the 9. Id bet that we score. But the way beasly was kicking, I see why they tried the fg.
