Going for 2

[kepaniamekolea]

Yup, I totally thought they should've gone for 2 with 5 minute something left in the game. I was totally sweatin when Nevada made the touchdown and got the onside kick. Stressin is more the word! But, I'm glad that Coach Mac had faith in the D and the D believed in themselves and it showed by their play on the field. Either way, it was the defense's night to shine. Lots of great, clutch shut down plays. Next comes USU and their dual threat QB. Hope the D comes to play!

here's a copy of the "traditional" two point conversion chart:

here's a copy of the "modern" two point conversion chart:
http://www.footballcommentary.com/twoptchart.htm

as you can see from the traditional chart it says to go for two. the modern chart says (after extrapolating), assumng your two coversion success rate is greater than 0.0566 (1 in 17.7), then go for two.

with that said, given the flow/energy/momentum of the game at that time (3:56 left in the game), i would've gone for two. the mind says to go for two, but the gut says to go for one. such is football. who knows...maybe mac thought that ault thought that this game was out of reach so he didn't want to pull a bielema.

Isn't it Rolo's call?

to my knowledge, yes.

Rolo said this morning on the Bobby Curran show that the coaching staff basically got caught up in the moment after converting on 3rd down for a TD. It's something that they will have to account for better in the future.

BIG props to Rolo for just stating what happened without a"story" or "coach speak" about what happened.
