Sorry but it's an absurd question. It's not as if we were up by 40. You always go for the score. Can you imagine the backlash if he doesn't and Vandy returns the kickoff for a score and gets the onside?
That’s the point. If he drops after the first down the Gators go into victory formation, a couple of snaps and the game is over.
In their last of 3 state championship wins over St. Thomas Aquinas, Lakeland won in I think 3 overtimes. But if Chris Rainey had done this exact strategy and stopped short of the end zone the game would have ended in regulation. But he scored on a long TD run, then STA scored, recovered an onside kick and scored again to tie it. The games es finally won when John Brown stopped an STA RB inches from the end zone in the last OT.
Still, I’m with you. I have a hard time telling a kid not to score. Trust your defense.
... well brother I'm not condoning any coach pseudo or directly admonishing our rising aggressive star RB going house in that game time line. Throw in the fact we haven't had a ground game scoring frenzy since last season... love ya Euro keep pumping those brakes. Go Gators!
