Kick a field goal with 5 mins left...

Not half as bad as running it up the middle over and over against the best defense in the country.
We're not going to win this game anyway. Obviously not. Our kicker hasn't had a lot of FG attempts this year. Might as well give him a chance to build some confidence with an easy attempt.
You're an idiot and have no clue about the game. Our QB just got blew up and it was 4th and forever. You take the points as you have no chance at winning and move on.
Might have had something to do with the monster hit Johnson took on that 3rd down play. He was probably seeing stars.
What's a idiot is supporting this coaching staff because they have no clue how to coach or run a offense. Tonight was awful. I don't care if it's against the Cincinnati Bengals at least do something besides run up the middle or screens. You don't see these other teams doing that. At least some of the other teams are competitive.
You could leave the "founded" off the dumb and be entirely accurate. Obviously the previous hit on Johnson didn't penetrate your thick skull or the reason to take him out.
Our QB who is a 2nd stringer just got laid out the play before. No reason to try and let him get drilled again. It's sad, but one of the goals was to get out of this game without any major injuries. Our kicking game is always adventurous so why not practice it in a game setting? If we're down 2 points against Vandy with :20 seconds left in the 4th and we're lining up for a field goal gives the field goal unit 1 extra game rep for confidence. It sounds silly but little stuff like that adds up and as a coach, it's important to respect those kinds of things. When UK is playing Alabama it's about the little things that we can practice on. It doesn't matter how much we lose by.

Obviously, Saban took his foot off the pedal, won the game and no one got hurt. He also likes CMS and didn't want to totally embarrass him. There are a lot of coaches who respect CMS and don't wish to embarrass him. Sound familiar? Been going on for decades except for Coach Spurrier who delighted in running up the score every chance he got.
Just stop. It is obvious that you have very limited knowledge of the game. You are not fooling most of us. If you want to ask why we chose to go the field goal route, that's fine. We will tell you. But don't be that person who bitches and moans over what most people would say was the right thing to do. It doesn't impress anybody. It doesn't convince anybody that knows anything about football. It just makes people shake their head at you. Tonight wasn't great but it wasn't awful either. We actually did better than we were predicted to do and we held the number 1 team in the country to their lowest points production of the year. I am not pleased with where the team is but I have more confidence that they can steal a win from Miss St. or UGA than I did before the game tonight.
Bama murdered the actual USC, Lane was still chucking the ball in the 4th. Just not sure how competitive we were expected to be but I'll take the improvement I saw and if people didn't see it then they didn't want to.
So do you have a clue how to coach or run an offense? Let me guess you have all kinds of special plays that work.
