Have you ever seen the guy kick? Perhaps their chances were much greater with him trying to run it in than with him trying to kick it... it's hard to say.
Edit to add: I will say this: If you're going to go for it, just put the offense back out there
... I could honestly go either way on this one. I just think if you don't have the confidence in him, put the offense back out there and see if they can pick it up...
