Brian Kelly Talks About His Decision To Kick The PAT vs. FSU Instead Of 2-Point Conversion

Well, I would have gone for 2. He had the momentum. Lose it in regulation OR OT, what's the difference?

1984 Orange Bowl -- Nebraska, by kicking the extra point, would have tied the game, and kept the national championship ranking. This was before overtimes in college ball.

Nebraska went for two to win the game instead of the tie. Didn't make it. It's been second-guessed for 35 years.

Poor kicking game??? No, NO KICKING GAME!!!

LOL this argument is ridiculous. Kelly's 1,000% right. Just go ask John Harbaugh, who's Ravens missed the playoffs by like 1 game and who went for 2 TWICE instead of kicking the extra point to tie, how those decisions worked out for him and his team.

The ONLY time to go for 2 in a similar situation is if you're overwhelmingly better than the defense or if you know your team can't play another down of football. Numbers don't lie.

I more interested in the probability of having 2 blocked kicks in a single game. He made the right call, without a doubt, it just didn't work out this time.

If you can't make PATs your odds of winning in OT drop exponentially.

He made the right choice, but the ultimate fact that I've heard is that BK brought one coach with him from ND and it was the special teamer!

Thats always a lose/lose for a Head Coach. Kelly would be taking a MUCH worse beating by the National Media & LSU Fans had he went for 2 & failed. U fans I'm speaking of know who you are & also KNOW I'm correct in my assumptions.

If that is the case, he should be basically indifferent statistically. .94 expected points vs. .96. I think the 96% could be overestimated though given how bad our ST were.

This is one of the few things that I dont fault the staff for. Polian isnt an ideal coach and CBK needs to address this, but you take the points when you have the momentum. I agreed with attempting the PAT

Ok so making the pat was apparently 97% but what was the chances to both make the pat and win the overtime battle. I’ll tell you it was much less than 47% for that game. These guys make way too much money.

I'd feel more comfortable if Kelly was wearing some white New Balance shoes.

Settle down. Kelly knows what he is doing.

What he seems to be saying is never go for 2. Wish we had tried it, this loss is hard to take.

I did not think we would win in extra time.

Boo hoo. Coach O this and Coach O that. Boo hoo

Need to update those numbers. I’d bet a successful PAT was 70% based on earlier events, and 2 pointer was 63.62% based on tires FSU players

When they scored the final TD it was basically OT. What part of the LSU defense was going to stop them in OT. LSU got lucky to get the 99 yard drive. You go for 2. Win or lose.

Finally.

That's some flawed logic missing a step, either way LSU got its arse beat because FSU played Duquesne
