Exactly. ESPECIALLY on fourth down. And interception at that point actually costs you 50 yards in field position. It is basic football fundamentals like that which have cost Georgia dearly just as it did in the SEC Championship game last year when Chris Conley caught that pass 3 yards short of the goal line, allowing time to expire.
