I think punting was a defensible decision there. On grass with a 17-0 lead and your defense playing great, I can see trying to pin the Packers and force them to go 95 yards (Hedley did pin them inside the 10) instead of only going 45 if Grupe misses a 55 yarder on a sheetty grass field.
My bigger issue is us failing to score the 3rd TD at the end of the first half when we were inside the 10.
I get that the punt can be defended based upon how the game was playing out to that point.. but still, it's very much a playing not to lose move as opposed to keeping the foot on the gas to score more points as was needed in the end.
I know the field sucked but unless they just thought there's no chance he can make it for some reason I feel like a 55 yard field goal is reasonable enough to take that shot.
