After killing Ash for not going for it on fourth-and-short against Washington in the season opener, he'll get no complaint from me for rolling the dice in that situation near midfield with two minutes left in the first half. The Scarlet Knights are on the road playing a better team. They need to take chances to win a game like this, and it isn't like the Nebraska defense was scaring anyone with how it was playing.
The decision was fine. The play calling was atrocious, and that starts on third-and-one. If Rutgers knew it was going to go for it on fourth down, why not try a play-action pass in that situation with Nebraska waiting for the run?
