Remember 2 years ago when they ,on the last drive, went for it on 4th and 2 at their own 38 or so...but he punted on 4th and 4 from OUR 34?
That was the game right there. I held my breath thinking he would go for it.....and released it when that stupid pooch punt out of field goal formation was done.

WRETCH!!
You have hit on one of my major problems with this coaching staff. Their decisions on fourth down are mind boggling. I don't even want to think about all the times he has punted on 4th and makeable inside the oppositions 40. Not to mention the wonderful decision he made this year against the 1AA school to attempt a 43 yard field goal in a situation where even if your obviously unreliable kicker happens to get lucky and make it, it still does very little for you, because Appalachian can still drive down the field against your obviously struggling defense and score a TD to win the game. Meanwhile, if you convert the 4th and 5 against the 1AA school, you've won the game.
It's not 1985 any more. I'm not sure they realize that.
