As opposed to forcing the opponent to have to score and go for 2 to tie? I suppose it’s a strategy. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 13:00 5
- The logic is the HC thinks % of his offense scoring 2 is greater than the chance of his defense preventing TEN from driving the length of the field. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 13:25
- The assumption is that they wouldn't go for two if only down seven. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 18, 13:03 3
  - Right. But they would have had to if they were down 8. Now it only took an extra point to send it into OT. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 13:07 2
    - Like I said, I hate it, but he went for the win. And he made the right call about Tennessee playing to tie rather than win. - New, Better David Oct 18, 13:11
    - agreed, as per davids explanation -- nm* - Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 18, 13:11
