Probably not, and no surprised the heck out of me.
A - Would you as a head coach last night called for that onside kick with over 4 and half minutes to play and all 3 times out left ?
B - Think that Pruitt was going to call for it ?

Didn’t see it coming, and wouldn’t have called it. Anyone who says they would’ve Is prob lying. Every stat and expert out there will say with that time left you kick it and play D. BUT CJP obviously saw something in his game planning. It paid off. It’s really a defining moment for him I believe, even though we should’ve been up 30 at that point.
This worked so he’s a genius. Had it not, and we handed the ball to IU with that field position, it was likely a dagger. Had it not worked people would be screaming for his job today.
It was a bold call that worked out. I’d much rather have a coach that isn’t afraid to take some risks than one who never does. What bothers me is that he almost gave the game right back to them with that horrible timeout. That was horrible awareness on his part and, from what I see, that carries right through the team with the dumb penalties we rack up every single game. For example, I’ve watched a ton of football over the years and I’ve never seen a center do what Kennedy did when he got the penalty for moving the ball almost an entire yard. How Pruitt handles the QB situation next year will go a long way towards whether or not he remains our coach more than another couple of years.Agreed. If we didn't recover it we were most certainly screwed and the majority would have called him an idiot that shouldn't coach another game.
I really thought they might do it. There was an obvious hole in their alignment that was really apparent from where I was sitting. My last words before the kick to the guy beside me were “they’re begging to get onside kicked”.A - Would you as a head coach last night called for that onside kick with over 4 and half minutes to play and all 3 times out left ?
