I have never heard boos at Michie form either side in 60+ years of Army football!
In fact, I have never heard boos against an Army Team even on the road.
Completely understand the Fordham fans' reaction to the play call.
Perhaps some reasons for the call:
o In JM's mind, the game was not over.
o A teaching moment on finishing. Finishing the play, finishing the game, etc. We have fallen short in 4th Quarters many times.
o Instilling a "killer instinct". "Roll that score way up. They will never want to play us anymore"
o Give Buddy Green something to think about on defending the Tight End
But, having taken a knee on the one yard line, wipes numbers 2 and 3 off, IMO.
Perhaps a better sequence would have been to take the knee. If Fordham called their final timeout then go for it.
Don't like the call. We still don't know how to win (with class).
