Going for it was just a much better choice, and I doubt Urban Meyer needed to think about it very hard. The risk factor is minimal when you have half a yard to gain. I think you can criticize the play call, because putting Lawrence in the shotgun increased that to effectively a full yard or more.
There’s a significant difference between 17 and 21 that talking heads in national media haven’t respected. They’re stuck in the conventional wisdom of old. You almost never, except in highly specific mathematical circumstances, kick a field goal from inside the 2 yard line. It’s utterly foolish. Nobody does that anymore.
