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

We beat the odds

96%? Lol, the follow up shoulda been “what’s the percentage when you’ve already missed one, you’re breaking in a new kicker & your TE doesn’t put a hand on anybody coming off the edge”. Kicking may have been the right call, but it sure as shite ain’t because of analytics. The 47% is prolly wrong too. With the momentum & Daniels’ legs, odds are better than that

Did he analyze the success percentage of winning the game in overtime?

You should throw odds out of the window when Fl State’s entire sideline melted down after the fumble. Add a 99 yard drive w a favorable ref call on top of that and that was LSU’s game to win right then and there.

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

Finally.

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.

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

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

I did not think we would win in extra time.

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

Settle down. Kelly knows what he is doing.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
