Two Point Conversion Note

it was the CORRECT call. Mathematically, at the time, was the ONLY call to make.

wrong. wrong wrong. If we would have continued to play like we did in the first half then bama could have easily hit two field goals. think about it.

New England has Tom Brady and we have JL.

that has to be taken into account too.

LSU kicks the extra point and Bama wins 17-16. What do you think people would be saying??

Thank you. It was the right call. I was happy Miles did this. The idea of "wait till the 4th quarter" is b.s. It's better to try in the 3rd when there is more time. We were ahead and had we made it, it would have put more pressure on them.

Just a note that it was not as bad of a decision as some people think.

Yeah, it's certainly debatable, but still, I think it was a bad decision, and an even worse one considering (1) the nature of LSU's offense, and (2) Bama's red zone difficulties.

Seems like the only call to make. I was stunned that it was even mentioned.

I would not have gone for two in that situation but that is not what bothers me. What bothers me is Miles put one finger up and said go for one after the TD. You can hear it on the audio. You then hear someone else say go for two and then Miles says "go for two, you got to go for two".
He should have known long before the TD whether we would go for one or two. It just seems he hadn't thought it through yet and that bothers me.

I think it was the correct call...I think the chart i linked to confirms it. I think most coaches use something like this. I don't know if I read it right.

You didn't, because at the top, all charts should read.

NEVER LOOK AT THIS CHART UNTIL THE 4TH QUARTER


Having said that, I said at the time I wouldn't have gone for two, but it is not a "fireable offense".

LSU leads 15-10 with 3:19 left in the 3Q and goes for 2.

Yesterday,
New England leads Miami 22-16 with 3:15 left in the 3Q and goes for 2.

Both are horrible decisions. It's amazing how many times you'll see this wrong decision made at the highest of levels. For some reason, a lot of coaches seem incapable of looking beyond just the next score even when so much time is left.
