I’m an analytics guy, but analytics need to take in actual data from your team.
I was always OK with Chryst punting from the opponent 40 because our offense was terrible and the defense could make something happen.
There was also less than a 5% chance they score on that 4th and 1. They aren’t equipped to do it with a slow QB and especially no Allen. Probably aren’t winning this game either way but totally OK with the FG. Insanely high odds we are down 10-0 after going for it and might as well throw in the towel there as well.
