60% chance he makes the FG and you are still behind

50% chance you make a first down pass on 4th and 6.

Go for it. go for the lead.

It was correct to not go for 4th and short on the opening possession but this is different

Kirk likely just considered how likely Lester's offense could drive the field for a TD vs. Just getting past midfield for a decent chance at a long fg after barely accumulating 100 yards of offense in the first 3 quarters

I actually thought they might try a pooch punt to pin UM and then try to hold them and get the ball back in better position.

To be honest it’s really not a bad call, IF YOURE IN REALISTIC MAKABLE FG RANGE…which we weren’t.

They needed 35 yards for a TD.

The choice was to try to a)kick a 51 yard FG, the. b)stop Michigan cold, then c)with expectations of getting the back at around their 35, picking up at LEAST another 30 yards in order to d)kick another 40:to 50 yard field goal.
