kicking is so erratic

He's had his flashes tonight. Ballard bailed him out bigtime, in what will go down as the play of the night.BuckeyeBlue wrote: We can only hope that a game like this for Pryor will give him a lot of confidence going into offseason workouts and next year. There is still no doubt he has a lot of progressing to do, but he has made some big strides since the Michigan game so far. Today he has looked more confident than he has all season.
I understand the point, but I don't think you want to leave those points on the board. And the last few plays the Buckeyes D-line had been showing some good penetration. If I'm in Kelly's shoes I'm about 100% certain I make the same call. Then again, I'm not a Division 1 football coach (and a pretty successful one at that).Non wrote:It was only 4th and 1 1/2 thoughBuckeyeBlue wrote: That was the right call by Kelly regardless of the outcome.

I think it depends on how reliable the kicker is
