The math says taking the 3 points means we win the game, but football isn't a game of math.
1) Hartman was back kicking this week, and he's a little batter than the kickers we used the first three weeks, but no '3' is easy for us. Hartman isn't automatic, esepcially that close on the hash.
2) Who says, after taking the three, we stop the Wolfpack offense? We made them look like world-beathers throughout the second half. They may have just tied it up earlier rather than later.
We lost that game, and think we would've lost regardless of the call on fourth down. The fact is that if you have the ball inside the five on two consecutive drives, you have to come away with 6. We didn't, we lost. And our D didn't do us in favors by going to sleep at the end of the game.
As dumb as this sounds with this being a rivalry game, we looked like we walked in expecting to win. First two games, our guys were flying around, excited after every play. Last two weeks, I haven't seen any of that. I don't care what Holtz says, we've looked flat. Now that the media attention is all gone, I'm hoping we get back to playing football.
