Beginning of 4th quarter....Crowd into it, Team into it 3'rd and 1 pffft, 4'th and 1 punt....just like Iowa!


Sheez...Just got home and haven't read/heard anything but so deflating! Nice way to take the crowd and the team out of a potential comeback!

Yeah I asked my father if we should go for it if we fail on 3rd and 1 and he wasn't sure but I was. We were down by 10, no offensive rhythm so to me the answer was easy - GO!!!

Very disappointing we punted in that situation. Had to pull all the stops at that point in the game to have a chance to win.
 
too early to g for it in your own territory in my opinion. I think we were on our own 35 or so...
 
That didnt lose us the game. We needed to score a touchdown after the blocked punt. Ollison was not in there, he needed to be. Challingsworth"s dropped pass on 3rd down was killer, and not being able to bring the QB down when the D had him really hurt. Bottom line NC was better last night.

Weren't you on your own 20? Our D was playing solid and could have very well have came up with the stop, and your D is your strongest group on the field. Don't risk giving the UNC offense the ball on your 20, down 10 in the 4th, and let your D try and get a stop/ takeaway. I thought it was the right call, especially with nearly the entire 4th left to play.
 
The call on 3rd was disappointing....I thought the distance was a little much for a QB sneak. The punt was the right call there.
