I know we gambled some with passes on third and short and the decision to go for the end zone at the end of the half on 4th down but they were all good calls that could be understood. But as an example, in the Liberty loss it seemed we were hell bent on running a fake punt even when the whole stadium knew it was coming. At one point against VT, the announcer said that Wider had though long and hard about going for a 4th down at midfield. Thank goodness he decided to punt. If a 4th down at midfield would have failed it could have opened the doors for them to take control of that game.

Agreed! No surprise onsides, no fake punts or fake field goals. It was nice not to have to bust out gimmicks to win.

The only rub I have that we have already talked at length, is that final run from Cox when we could've taken a knee. Glad it turned out the way it did, and a meme was born, but it could've backfired badly. At least we all know now that the coaches didn't know how many timeouts VT had remaining. Small nitpick on an amazing night of football.
