I'm not sure what to make of that call

[Glenn's take]

But I do know there is no defending kicking that field goal on 3rd down. I'm completely dumbfounded by some of Stoops' in game decisions.

With our line, it's 50/50 we take a sack and don't get any points.

The QB sneak kinda messed things up as it burned their last timeout. I wouldnt be suprised if they were going for 3 the whole time as the sneak never made sense if they were trying to get in the endzone

He consistently shows no confidence in his team. Just like the Ole Miss game when he declined the penalty on 3rd and 23 which allowed the Rebels to kick a field goal in a game we lost by 3

Absolutely pathetic. Looked like a stoops call from 6-8 years ago that I thought we were well past.

Special teams have been crappy. Kick FG on 3rd down because if blocked and we manage to cover the block, we can try FG again. No interception in end zone by Levis trying a dangerous pass

we get the ball to start 3q

Throw the fade pattern that I hate so much. That doesn't take any protection.

 

[ULisnotmyman]

No no no. You absolutely 1,000% HAVE to take one shot at the end zone there in 2022. Anybody who thinks otherwise is simply incorrect.

It’s THIRD f’ing down.

Also has almost no chance of succeeding. So why throw it?
Would love to see a bunch more quick passes to get WRs some YAC.

Where are the TEs we've heard so much about? Cummings hasn't had a target in multiple games. Upshaw has been completely underwhelming this year. Dingle has had his moments but nothing tonight. Bates is limited to possession TE. Are they blocking every play? Might be why Levis has stayed upright.

Because almost no chance is better than no chance which is what kicking the field goal was.

I heard his explanation. I hate the call even more.
