On 2nd and 9 at approximately the Colorado State (CSU) 21 yard line with 1:14 remaining on the clock, CSU had one timeout remaining after calling timeout after the first down run by Davis.
Corey Chavous says on the broadcast “Because if I’m them I’m trying to score. I’m not going to put it on, a losing streak of this magnitude, 11 games, on a kicker’s foot. I think you try to score if you’re Vanderbilt.” Corey was wrong.
Davis had gained a first down on a run on
2nd and 3 with the clock at 2:17 when the ball was snapped.
I’m glad Corey Chavous was not the head football coach at VU when a decision was made VU at 1:14. Coach Lea managed the game absolutely perfectly in the last few minutes of the game against CSU. VU ran the ball on 2nd and 9, forcing CSU to use its last timeout. VU then ran to center the ball for the field goal kick on third down.
CSU got the ball back with I believe 19 seconds.
In the 2014 game against UMass, the missed fiend by the UMass kicker came after the UMass coach failed to center the ball for his kicker. That coach took the Corey Chavous approach. He tried to score on the prior play. That coach put his kicker in a challenging situation to attempt the 22 yard field goal from the hash. That attempt was to tie the game, rather than win it
I’ve seen many other occasions where coaches do what the UMass coach did and not center the ball for the kicker.
Last night, Coach Lea centers the ball for the winning field on a first down and ten play from the 11 yard line with 14 seconds on the clock when the ball was snapped.
