Now, in saying that, the only benefit of running the short yardage offence out there for two more plays would have been about 2 yards, and/or a better line at the fg. Of course my other thinking was that it would kill the final 26 seconds.

Killing the clock down to zero was my bigger concern.

I was thinking the same as the two of you. Milanovich said after the game that he thought about going for it but had to have faith that the defence would hold for the final 26 seconds.
