re: I don’t think the 2-pt try was JUST “cajones.”

Listening to Coach’s response at the press conference when the guy asked about “cajones,” I was impressed with how much thought went into the decision, and quickly.

They already knew what they were planning to do if that scenario arose before the game started. It makes sense now that you think about it. You get the ball second in the first OT and the other team scores the TD, you go for 2 the first time while you are in the driver's seat rather than give the other team the advantage in the 2nd OT.

What was even better is that they planned and executed it as well as they could to catch Bama as off guard as possible. They even made sure to allow their 12th man off the field rather than take the penalty and allow Bama the time to regroup and change personnel.

I'm still not sure why don't try to win with a field goal the way TN did. We had 20 seconds, 2 time outs, and we were getting chunk plays at times in this game. I'm sure he had his reasons for that as well. Did anyone hear his explanation for that?
