Actually, I thought going for it was a smart decision, in that when 3rd down ended, I was PRAYING he'd punt. I (and he) didn't think we had any hope of stopping White on that short of a run. If they make it, they essentially win the game, and we had not stopped them a SINGLE time in the 2nd half... not once.
Also, their punter and coverage teams suck. It was entirely possible he was afraid to punt in that situation, for fear that we'd block it or score on a runback. All going for it did was give us an extra 20 yards or so. And Young would have made up for that (perhaps burning that last timeout that we'd saved, if necessary).
