But did the risk really outweigh the reward? I know we lost the game, but other than some irritating Poke fans, did it really change anything about this year? Even if we would have won that game, it wouldn't have changed the fact that this was a disappointing season.
If that game were for a conference title, or for a spot in the national title, then I'd probably question the decision a lot more. Given the circumstances, it was just a mistake.
