Let Melton Run It!

So, everyone on the planet agrees that you should have kicked the field goal after your third unsuccessful attempt to run it in from the 1 foot line.  But, supposing that you are just that hard-headed and determined to run it in for a fourth consecutive time.  Why not let Henry Melton run it in?  He spent time as a running back in college.  Not just any college, he played at UT (University of Texas).  And not just a couple games, he played 25 games at Running Back and started 1 game at Running Back.  Played in all 13 games at running back as a freshman.  In fact, he finished his freshman season fifth on the all-time UT freshman list with 10 rushing TDs.

I am saying that it was the wrong move to go for it.  BUT, if you were going to give away the game, why not mix it up a little bit???

Lovie Smith "still feels good" about passing up field goal

Everyone knows that you kick the field goal - EVERY TIME.  The fact that Lovie does not admit it is just plain wrong.  Bad news for your head coach to not admit when he is wrong.
