    First one making a tackle for a loss wins. I hate watching garbage defenses.

    Norvell should be fired for the way he handled that last series. Hate pussies that settle for fgs without even trying to win the game outright.

    Wake Forest was done. They had three plays to throw in the end zone and win and they run the ball in 2. It's like you are in front of the goal in soccer and instead of shooting you pass it back to the defense to burn time so you can go to OT. A lot of these football coaches could not coach another sport. You never play to go to OT if you have a big chance to win.

    More than that you never rely on a field goal like it's automatic, at least not until it's absolutely necessary. See this shit at all levels, yet time after time coaches resort to playing safe. Unbelievably stupid.

    If that's the best bowl game this season then it's time to turn off the tv.

    You also send the message to your QB that you don't trust him to make a play. So even if they went to OT with the FG made the QB's confidence is lost because in the back of his mind he thinks the coach don't trust him to throw the ball in the end zone when it matters.
