Coach Weis, you blew this game for your kids.  The streak?  Who cares?  Means nothing to me.

But there were several “What the F?” decisions made in this game - something I haven’t seen in South Bend since Daviengham.  Inexplicable decisions that make no sense.

Ball on the 24, 45 seconds left, 4th and 8.  You’re NOT gonna kick a 41 yard field goal attempt?  Really?

Your kids COULD have won the game right there.  WOULD they have won? I don’t know.

I am sure Coach Weis has info on his kickers that I dont.  Maybe they’re not that good from 40 or farther.  (Okay, first, you need to learn to recruit a kicker if that’s the case.  But that’s another issue.)  So let’s say he knows the guys aren’t good from 40 or further out.  Let’s say their percentage is 50%.  What’s your chances on 4th and long?  At BEST, 50%.  Probably more like 20-30%.  So unless those guys are missing 7 out of 10 from that range (which I highly doubt), you kick.  And even if they are that bad, it gives you a chance to win the game RIGHT THERE.

We saw progress from our team offensively today (against a POOR Defense, but still), and our kids fought their hearts out.  We saw a lot of completely questionable calls from Charlie though.  Calls that did not give these kids the best chance to win. Maybe like a FAKE FG on 4th and FIFTEEN when you can take 3 points?  What was going ON today?

Coach, it’s good that you always take the blame. Because this time, it’s definitely on you.

EDIT:  Charlie said it was the wind on that end that made him decide to not kick.  Our guys were 4 yards short before the game.  Still, you kick.  4th and 8?  C’mon.  And his reasoning for the fake FG was that they had planned it.  Okay then Charlie, it was a bad plan.  Ugh, I need a freaking ‘rita.
