We were at the 19 yd line and it was 2nd and 8. We had two downs left to move the ball closer and make it an easy kick... terrible call to throw a 50/50 ball with a low talent freshman QB who was thrown into action from starter betting knocked out of the game. A 50/50 ball by definition even with a good QB, is a 50% proposition, but with the QB we had then it's probably like 30%.
Pretty sure the odds of making a chip shot FG from inside the 19, even with the kicker we had then is higher than 30%.
