[NU Sports] Which position would Fitz take?

[Jim Bendat]

Just read a story in the LA Times talking about Alabama coach Nick Saban and how he deals with his field goal kicker in a pressure situation. "I don't want to mess that up with a guy right before he's trying to pull the trigger," Saban said. "So I don't usually say anything."

Contrast that with Texas coach Mack Brown. In the 2005 Rose Bowl between Texas and Michigan, the Longhorns were losing by two, 37-35, with just a couple of seconds to go. There was a timeout just before Texas went out to kick what turned out to be the game-winning field goal. During that timeout, Brown turned to his kicker, smiled and said, "Son, you've got to be luckiest guy in America. You get to go out there and make the kick that wins the Rose Bowl!" 

I wonder how Fitz dealt with Demos last week.
