No. You don't take the go-ahead points off the board once you have them.
I read somewhere that Texas did not let him score intentionally on that play but if ISU hadn't scored but got the first down (it was 2nd and 1 at the 3) then they would let ISU score on the next play to conserve clock.
Yes, that is what Herman did say after the game. And that is the correct call by him IMO.
It sure looked like they let Breece score on the play though.... many of their players weren't even trying.... but that's pretty normal for them.
It was definitely the correct decision for CMC to take those points..... it was just an interesting situation.
Agree that they didn't let him score because Herman said they didn't after the game.... it just looked like they let him score. But IMO, I think the correct decision is to let him score though. Not sure what the "analytics" would show?
If we win the conference championship, Cotton. Otherwise Alamo.
Just from reading the threads on here it sounds like Cotton and Alamo are the two most likely.
You don't need to take points off board. QB under center takes knee for 1/2 yard loss and loss of down. Force TO. Score on next play.

Did you see the Oregon @ Oregon State game? It took the Beavers three tries from the six inch line to score the winning TD. I say score when you can and give yourself as many chances as possible. Iowa State would have been stupid to take a knee, lose a down and try to score on next play, because it's not always so easy to get in from the one or two yard line. Glad they scored when they did!
Texas OF looked very good on the last series. Backed up with holding call to the ~10 yd line. Moved 50 yds in a buck, 25. Seems our D cannot hold teams when game is on the line. If the FG was good, would we have said we could we hav done better?
Well, the holding throughout the game is part of the reason why our defense didn't look better and had trouble stopping them at times, including on that last drive.
You talk like a guy that didn’t watch us struggle in the red zone all game long and didn’t watch us get blown up on a 3rd and 1 earlier in the game. You don’t take points off the board in that situation.
I agree wholeheartedly. Immediate and obvious concern was that we left too much time on the clock.
He’s insane. If you can get points in that game with those stakes, you do.
