Remember, the coaches have watched these guys every day for years. Not just in games but in practice, scrimmages, etc. Every single day. You select guys for situations based on all that data you collect and you roll with them as long as you can. You don't let one or two letdowns undo months of work until you absolutely have to start making decisions, which for us is typically at the start of conference play.

Lemonis and Foxhall wanted Stinnett yesterday afternoon. That was decided before the game that if it's close he's gonna close it. Because that's the situation they need to evaluate him in and have data to say we think he can get the job done. Now they start adjusting those expectations as we get closer to go time.
Good point/
