Take the 1 point. Make the other guy have to go for 2 just to tie you. Don't roll the dice for them.

Bingo. If you're stupid enough to go for two in that situation, you deserve to lose in OT should the other team subsequently tie the score with just a TD and XP because your dumb ass went for two and failed.

I think it would boil down to whether you trust your offense to convert the 2 points more than you trust the defense to stop the 2-point conversion. If this were the Buckeyes, 99 years out of the previous 100 I would make the other team try to convert the 2. In 2012, I think I would trust my offense to score the 2 more than the defense to stop the other team from scoring the 2.

OSU 28
PoSU 16

9 minutes left, PoSU goes for two. An XP keeps the FG in play. Getting stopped, as they did, leaves them needing two touchdowns.

Nice call, Bilbo. :lol:

Maybe this isn't the right thread, but I find it funny the way Illinois went for 2 after their second touchdown. And the scenario wasn't so bad - if you're down 25 with about 5 minutes to go in the game, go for 2, go for 3, go for whatever - I don't care. But they did that thing where they line up for 2, then shift to look like they're going for 1, then they fake it and go for 2. Is that the right situation to whip out a trick play? Your future opponents can prepare for it.

Or is this one of those things where their future opponents will have to spend 5 extra minutes every practice, now, preparing for this situation?

Edit - Nevermind. I agree that it was an accidental two-point conversion.

I think the second XP was a blown play... check out the video; they block for it just as if it were supposed to have been kicked.

Was that really a fake? I was fast forwarding from play to play by that time, and thought it looked like the holder fucked up, and made something from nothing. If that really was a fake, then that was a stupid way to do it.
