You’re up by 1 point.

~5 minutes left in game.

You score a TD to go up 7.

Why does no team go for 2 in that scenario?

Discuss.
 
Because kicking the PAT in college has a 93% chance of success thus putting you up by 8.

Going for 2 has a 31% chance of success and if you fail to covert you only have a 7 point lead giving the other team a statically better chance at tying it up.

Just seems stupid and gimmicky to try a 2pt conv to go up by 9 when there’s no reason to.

If your defense can’t do its job, than fix the fucking defense.

Rather force them to go for 2, instead of possibly not getting it & only being up 7.

You can’t argue pros and cons and not list the pros.

One gives you a two score game potentially

By your logic, a team down by 2 with seconds left should go for 1 because it’s much more successful of a play.

You HAVE TO mention the differentials in results in each scenario.

Makes it a two score game. Glad I can point out the obvious for you.

Not the same thing.

In one situation, you actually have to go for 2.

In the first one, you’d be going for it just cuz you feel like it.
 
How many pages will ElTejan argue against making the other team convert a 2..... just to tie it?

LMAO

Right. You have to take in the scenarios, not just the scoring probabilities. Glad you can see that

Too much risk, not enough reward, & too much can go wrong.

They could stop you or could return it 97 yds for a 5-pt game.

When they would’ve been forced to score a TD + 2pts since you likely would’ve been up by 8.

The stupid is strong in you.

Why not go for 2 every play? Fuck a kicker. Waste of a scholarship. Get a bulldozer full back instead.

If you can’t argue a simple fucking scenario, just go start drinking your 3.5% beer and get ready for your Bedlam loss
 
Rotate your screen dummy
Why the fuck would I choose to scroll these forums sideways?
Lol.

Good luck tonight, tho. I’m tired of sticking up for OKST.
