There has been much discussion about the fourth down calls made in the Northwestern. Go or don’t go - which is right and which is wrong. As fans, we always know the correct answer because we have the benefit of hindsight and hindsight is never wrong. I know this because I am reminded by fans sometimes when I get emails after a game telling me what a moron I was for whatever prediction I made that was wrong. I never get these types of emails before a game.
I found the fourth down decisions puzzling at the time, in hindsight (there’s that word again) what bothered me more than Scott Frost’s fourth down decisions was when he took a knee to let regulation expire tied with Northwestern.
