Once Leach got there (yes, I realize he&#39;s not the coach any more), they frequently went for it on fourth down and ran up the score against other teams. Normally it&#39;s defended to boost their stats/rankings, but I&#39;m not sure what good it does in a bowl game.Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01838293735141324662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-77033482037893409152010-01-03T01:58:54.079-05:002010-01-03T01:58:54.079-05:00Off topic...<br /><br />I know this was college and not the NFL, but Texas Tech went for it on 4th and 5 and then on 4th and 4 up by 3 with 2:00 to go in easy field goal range. Very few people would have done that. Of course since it worked, they won&#39;t get the full Belichick treatment. I think its just interesting that coaches are getting a lot bolder.<br /><br />Side note: Tech went on to score another touchdown after the second conversion. They were already at the point where they could have knelt out the clock. I&#39;m not sure how I feel about that.Jeff Clarkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-56151826189997449012010-01-01T14:18:08.040-05:002010-01-01T14:18:08.040-05:00What is your definition of &quot;cold weather city&quot; in this analysis? Do you have a list of &quot;cold weather cities&quot; handy?<br /><br />More relevant to the current playoffs, is Philadelphia considered a cold weather city?<br /><br />Is there a similar home field advantage for cold weather teams visiting domes?Jonathannoreply@blogger.com
