It's 4th & 1. Game is on the line. Are you Clenched or are you YOLO?
This is the most vexing scenario in football because you only need one yard, which plays games with your head and heart. Some strategic minds focus on gaining that single yard, leaving little margin for error while creating high drama and summoning chain measurement.
Other more audacious coaches think far beyond those three feet from scrimmage, creating a dichotomy: Clenched and YOLO are our 4th & 1 mindset categories. One of these is an opaque butt reference - when you fail while scared, your ass is in for an unwanted adventure.
