Why not let them score?

Under two minutes left and we jump offsides. Dumb and preventable but it’s done. They’re now inside the 30 with downs to burn and an easy FG. Why not let them run it in? We get the ball back with a chance to win...or we can do what we did and let them milk the clock to zero and kick the chip shot to win.

Your odds are better trying to make a college kicker hit from 35+ yards. I really didn’t think their kicker was going to make that. Plus an ISU ball carrier wasn’t just gonna walk into the end zone from 20 yards out, he would’ve knelt at the 1 or so.

Maybe we could have held him up and pushed him into the endzone?

you make the kicker make the 36 yarder but as to your point I think he would have scored.  they were down 1 not tied
