Running the ball would risk us having to rush out a FG unit that had already missed from a similar distance. Yes, we could have let the clock run and taken the kick - but again, we'd already missed a 40+ kick earlier. It's a low percentage kick. Ferrie was 100% in kicks between 30-39 yards this year. He was 62% from 40-49 yards. The kid has a good leg - but 5 yards in he is money.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I'd have made the same call.
The analytics backed that up as well. Getting the FGA inside 40 yards increased win probability from 85% to 98%.
