Episode notes
Be Aggressive Late In Halves
- Avoid conservative coaching decisions late in halves; analytics often favor going for it.
- Steve Fezzik advises coaches to go on fourth-and-long with little time left instead of punting or kicking when expected-value favors aggression.
When To Go For Two
- Go for two when scoring to reduce comeback scenarios and increase win probability.
- Fezzik explains that going for two after getting to 8 (down 14 to 8) wins more often than kicking twice to tie.
Always Run One More Play With Six Seconds
- Use the clock wisely: with six seconds left you can almost always run one more play.
- Fezzik suggests running a quick play or a fake Hail Mary to gain yards and avoid a long field-goal attempt.
