Sometimes it's the wrong choice, yes.
But you can't be dogmatic about it. When everyone was blasting him for it, did they not see how little push we got on the first three plays? Going for it it just leaving three points on the field in a 7 point game with 10 minutes left.
In THAT spot, you take the field goal. But many were just being mindlessly dogmatic and saying he's a pussy for not going for it - I believe you did as well.
You have to watch what's actually happening and what was happening was the OL simply wasn't standing up in small areas. So you take the FG, get a stop and get back into big areas of the field where K-State has a harder time stacking the box and attacking as they were doing successfully in the small areas like the gold zone.
He made the right choice given what was happening on the field. But everyone else wanted to argue about the ideal outcomes in a game where 'ideal' wasn't on the table given the performance of the OL.
