No kidding........

Wow - horrible call.

[UNTcrazy727]

It was less than a yard, I would have done the same thing. What lost them the game was only getting 14 points on 5 trips inside the red zone!

Less than a minute, down by three, 4th and goal on the 2. Textbook FG call.

the textbook isn't always right...

Nope. Just this time.

Was beating Maryland worth losing by a foot?

nothing wrong with going for a win. on the road, you go for the win, not the tie. i realize that this was basically a neutral site, but navy was the road team...GO FOR THE WIN LIKE JACK STATE DID!!!

would we have said that Solich outcoached us if Ohio didn't win off a two point conversion last year? I doubt it. But, since his risky call worked, he was seen as someone who called the better game.

It wasn't a good or bad call for Navy. The only thing wrong was that it didn't work out.

hindsight is always 20/20. Plus, you assume that the field goal is a guarantee. I argue that it is no more a guarantee than trying to get a foot beyond the line of scrimmage.

Felt bad for Navy, but that last play did not lose the game for them. Their inability to get the ball in the end zone due to turnovers, etc. is what did it for the Midshipmen this time. The Navy QB had a pretty bad day overall for a so-called Heisman candidate. He's a good QB and will re-bound and Navy will have a decent season, but I sure hated to see them actually give this one away to a not-so-good Maryland team.

Navy will run all over Army again this year! Count on it! BEAT ARMY!

The decision to go for the TD was correct. The specific play called was not.
