nope...not sure why announcers were sayin they would...why risk all the things that can go wrong on a fg when you had plenty of time to get the td

Looks like they left that as an option but the OSU runner kept on his feet.

Besides Michigan kept calling time out to have some time left to do something.

Because Brent had money on Michigan +3. No doubt about it. No way can you settle for a FG there especially with a missed extra point on the day already.

Thanks Jim!!
Signed, OSU backers :toast:

Ohio State was happy to go for the FG since that was there plan. OSU tried to run to ball to place it in the middle of the field for the FG but Michigan kept calling time outs and on the 3rd try OSU got the go ahead touchdown.

Quite the MNF finish

:think2: :lolBIG:

This was a double kill for me as I had Mich. +3 and the game under 44. I was sitting on a nice victory in both with a field goal but Mich call those nice 2 time outs to really do nothing but help Ohio State. Brain dead coach !

I don't really agree, even though I had Michigan in a parlay, and all the other legs of the parlay came through. I mean, you can't just sit on your hands and let the other team kick what would amount to an extra point with no time left. They don't care if they lose by 1 or 4, so the TD doesn't hurt them anymore than the field goal would. If Ohio St fumbles, then Carr looks like a genius.

I agree with Illini. If you lose by 2 or lose by 5 it really doesn't matter. It would of been a chip shot so with 30 sec's left and the clock stopping after 1st downs doesn't seem to awful. I can't blame him for that decision.

If there was like 2 minutes or even 1 1/2 minutes left on the clock his strategy would make some sense but with only 30 some seconds left.... He is only helping Ohio State get their s-it together by calling these 2 time outs. Since Ohio State had already missed a extra point... that's really your best chance is to freeze the kicker with 4 seconds left ! Why give Ohio State at least 2 extra free shots at the goal ? They only had 1 time out left and they had to use that to get their field goal unit all set up ! Ignorant IMHO
Besides it cost me both a +3 victory...a under44 bet.... You a parlay victory .... That makes it even more stupid !:lolBIG:
Damn Of course my Pal Red Eye had Ohio St. and He's a happy Camper as are lots of other Ohio St. fans ! I'm so happy for them I could almost cry !

They had Michigan+3 was all I could think of, as they kept nattering about a field goal with 6 seconds left when Ohio was on the 4 yard line with half a minute. Thus it was the finish they wanted.
