Bowls, CFP, and other Disappointing Games Thread

In a 24-24 game with 29 seconds left the expert color analyst in a national semifinal game said that if a run broke open for a TD the back should fall down intentionally so they could win with a FG with no time left on the clock. So, he would rather be tied with 20 seconds with the ball in the red zone than up 31-24 with 20 seconds left. Not to mention, the opponent had their timeouts left. How do these guys get these jobs?

I'm sure the color analyst is a dumdum. However...

- Go down at the 1. 1st and Goal at the 1, ~20 seconds left.
- Clock resumes once ball is set and ref signals to start clock. Penn State burns 1st timeout.
- Take knee. Penn State burns 2nd timeout. 2nd and Goal.
- Take knee. Penn State burns 3rd timeout. 3rd and Goal.
- Take knee. 4th and Goal.
- Run clock down to 2 seconds, call timeout.
- Kick game-winning FG as time expires.

Am I missing something? I think that's riskier because college kicking game isn't as reliable, but it seems rational at least.
