It's a game of seconds and inches. On our last drive, we attempted a field goal with 3 or 4 seconds left on the play clock. If we let it tick down to :01, call a timeout and then kick the field goal, we win today.
Yes, it is. But those 3-4 seconds would have changed BYU's final drive. They may not have attempted their 2nd to last play (the incomplete pass) and then the outcome doesn't change at all.
