    The odds of making a first down on one play for 12 yards are extremely low given the offensive line can't hold out the defense long enough to let the receivers get that far down field. If U gets sacked, which happens too much, it would give EMU at least 10 extra yards to start the drive. A pick six would be a killer. A QB fumble would be a disaster. I think the Akron offense was out of tricks at that point. 

     

    If one player on the Akron punt team turns around to his right instead of his left, the ball is downed inside the five. It was a pretty good pooch punt. 

     

    I would have crossed my fingers on a long FG. A six point lead , that late in a game, with no timeouts would have made EMU more one dimensional and easier to stop. Instead, they were able to mix in a running game early in the drive and keep Akron off balance. 

    it was 4th and 7, not 12

    I heard something similar on the post game show. Assuming we have quality eligible players, his thought process is that you're a lot better in your 5th year than you are in your first year, and you get an extra year of free education. Hard to argue with that. Just means we get a better Darrion Baker!

     

     

    The downside of this is with the transfer portal now, having a player during the senior year becomes less likely. So there's an argument to be made to play the guys while you've got them. Luckily we haven't really been hampered by it yet, outside of Ali
