Washington's decision to go for it on 4th and goal from the 1, down 4 was a no-brainer by the numbers. Even though they failed, they gave Oregon terrible field position, which is why their 10-play drive scored no points.
Numbers have no context. Oregon was kicking UW's ass in short yardage situations. UW scored its game winning TD as a result of two long pass plays that can't be executed from the 1 yard line.
