I was away on vacation for the Shenandoah-Maryville game (mercifully), so I'm hoping someone can explain the coaching rationale behind this decision (if it actually took place);
Fourth quarter, and SU trails 21-7. With about 10 minutes to go, SU recovers a fumble deep in Maryville territory. On 4th and 5, from the Maryville 13, trailing 21-7 with about 9 minutes to go, SU kicks a field goal???
Am I wrong or is this a sign of a team (or a coach) that's simply given up?
