So I'm gonna ask it

Its your call 4 and 1 in the 4th with 1 min left. Do you take the 3( as Dabo did) or do you go, and put Auburn away? Not critizing we got the win just curious what your call would be?

I think he would have gone for it with Boyd in the game.***

Depends how the D has been doing

They needed a TD to tie if we go for 3. If we missed on it, a TD wins it and we've been burned on some deep threats. Seems safer to get what you're sure you can and force them to play quick rather than smart.
I bet they wish they hadn't wasted their early timeout.

That's easy....

Go for the TD to put the game out of reach. If you can't gain 1 yard then you didn't coach your team right and you're a horrible coach that can't instill toughness in the team! Now, if you don't make it, then you should have kicked the FG, taken the points, and you're a stupid worthless hack that can't coach! 
Think that covers it.

Go for 3. If we make it they have to get a TD and 2pt conversion to win. If we don't, they have to go 99 yards.
If you go for a TD, you have less of a chance to make it. If you don't, they do have to go 99 yards, but all it takes is 1 or 2 broken tackles or a blown coverage.

Gone for it

A TD end the game, either way if we kick the FG they still need a TD. Our D kept them out of the Endzone for most of the game and I was pretty confident that they wouldn't give up the TD. Even if we don't get the TD it would still be a 98 yard drive for Auburn with no TO

I have to admit that the second they stopped us short,

I was screaming go for it....then after a few seconds I said nah, just take the points and get the 7 point lead. I'm sure that's what runs through many a coach's head

I would say take the 3

even with Boyd available. With no Boyd though, you have to take the easy points.

It's all about the odds

The chance of making 4th and 1 at the goal has to be < 50%. I don't have that info, but I am sure that someone does (Dabo). We have a new O line that has played well, but hasn't done 4th and 1 at the goal line will the game on the line. You have a known entity in Catman with a 90%+ chance of making the FG. The new O line doesn't come into play on a FG try. If you make the 3, a FG does them no good, so the call has to be go for the FG. On the other hand, me and 100,000 other Tiger fans would have loved to stick it down their SEC throats. Do what will win the game and save your emotions for later.

Sometime it's OK to play not to lose.

Both my sons chose to go for it.

I disagreed.
AU needed to score a TD to take the lead and the win. With the 'sure 3,' the best they could do was tie.
While I don't like going into OT with someone else just having scored a TD I'd take the chance with that over a possible loss during the game.
I can't believe anyone would disagree.

Timothy & Boyd were out.

So with Giff out, and Tajh out, that makes it a little harder. Really glad Giff's going to be okay, and hope we get to rotate some more OL against Ball State...though that team makes me a little nervous.
Swinney said that we had rarely allowed points in the two-minute drill in practice.
Also, kicking off from the 35 makes it pretty impossible for the other guys to get great field position. Put them on the 25 and give them very little time and no TOs with a rookie QB.
All that said, I was still disappointed when we brought out Catanzaro. Even though I thought it was the right call.
