The next one? The one he seems to be taking the most criticism       over? That actually worked to perfection. They didn't get it, but it left       Washington deep in their        own territory. They didn't get very far, had to punt, and then Oregon had       short field and scored a TD. The last one? Based on the fact that the game       would have been over if they converted, and a punt would have cost Washington       20-25 yards in field        position, I think going for it there was the right call, too.              This post is both mia-esque and on-topic.
