Yes, the call was ridiculous. As anyone in basketball will tell you, the farther away from the goal you are, the lower your shooting percentage will be. So, it stands to reason that the further away from the goal you are, the less chance you have to score. You can say Vince Young would have scored on that defense from anywhere on the field all you want, but the plain and simple fact is that Pete Carrol should have played the percentages and kicked the ball, giving Texas at least a 90 yard march instead of 50 to go.
