In the BC-Boise St game................BC up 6 with about 2 minutes left punting from their own 1 yard line...........

Why would'nt you take an intentional safety.......still be up by 4 and then punt from the 20 or 30 yard line.(whatever it is)...........IS'NT PUNTING FROM THE 20 BETTER THAN PUNTING FROM THE 1...........

yes, at the time I could not think of a reason why BC did not take a safety.
