I was shouting at my tv hoping he'd go for it. Pitt St defense not the best, their offense one of the best. Everyone knew the Sioux would have to put a lot of points on the board to win. Why not throw a deep ball in that situation and if they pick it off so be it, instead we got a twenty yard punt.
It would have been different if it was within field goal range, then I'd take the points. It would also be different if the Sioux were in their own territory.
