david aka the TYZ will become famous soon enough
I agree with every 4th down decision on that last drive. The first one, with 3 minutes on the clock and UCLA having all three time outs, I like being aggressive and trying to keep drive going rather than going up 5, where a TD still beats you. The 1st 4th and goal was a tough distance and with less than 2 minutes and UCLA having burned all three of their timeouts going up 5 is a bigger deal making them have to go the whole distance. After the penalty, the distance not only cuts in half, but it's kind of a karmic thing that a defense won't hold after giving you another chance on a stupid penalty. At that point I was glad they went for it. Obviously it all worked in our favor but even if they dont punch it in, I'm not questioning Fickell like I have to question Kelly for his decision to go for it where they did... that was plain dumb
