People point to that play in hind-sight. At the time, in the game it was a pretty good move...
While I didn't agree with not going for it, the botched exchange between Hartline & Locke and getting caught napping on the fake punt played far greater roles on the loss. Don't fumble, and it's 14-0 and UT is reeling. Stop the fake, it's still 14-14 and we are already in FG range.
Punt return game must improve
