   that's questionable is the one right before halftime. Because it's not just if   
   you make it or not, it's what the consequences are if you don't make it.

   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.  Congrats.
