Well no ****. But if you are seriously trying to score you don't start out with a run up the middle. It was the wrong call, and it's not even debatable. Just like not going for it against OSU in '09 was the wrong call. On the road in a hostile environmental with all the momentum against you it makes no sense to play for overtime.
Plus you say ISU only needed 15-20 yards after the punt to get into FG range, well guess what? In overtime they only needed 25 yards and Ferentz kicked the FG saying he trusted his defense to get the stop. So he trusts his defense more in OT after they had given up two more touchdowns than at the end of regulation? Of course not, it was just a terrible call and to even try to defend it is laughable.
So playing in OT in a hostile environment makes no sense, but attempting to run a high pressure 2 minute drill inside your own 20 isn't? Wow, now I've heard everything.
