4th-and-Why The F Didn't He Go For It?!

"I thought about it at the time, running it hard, but we're on the road," Nolan said. "Make it a touchdown game. I wouldn't change anything." -Mike Nolan (11/26/2006)

"Without question, knowing what I know now [I would have gone for it]. But knowing what I knew then, that's exactly what I would have done." -Mike Nolan (9/12/2007)

Apparently Coach Armani remembers the last time we played in Saint Louie. The decision to not go for a critical first down last year on 4th-and-a hair ended up costing us the game. We took a 4 point lead, went into a prevent, and choked the win away.

It sounds like Coach Nolan took that loss hard and he should have. Humble fans can forget that this is his first head coaching gig and he is maturing along with this team. The team can take a big step this week by showing it can come off an emotional win and handle business on the road.
