Arizona State fell on the road at Cincinnati on Saturday, 24-14, in a game that featured two missed fourth-quarter field goals by kicker Ian Hershey that could have cut the 10-point Bearcats lead to a one-score game.
Sun Devils coach Kenny Dillingham was questioned about his lack of aggression on the first field goal try, which took place on a fourth-and-2 from the Cincinnati 30-yard-line with just over six minutes to play. Conventional wisdom would tell you that it might make more sense to go for it on fourth-and-short, rather than try to connect on a 48-yard field goal.
