Help Me Understand Going For Two

[Rogue52]

One play, two yards to win the game.

What is stupid is faking an extra point (Rhoads).

 

[madguy30]

Our defense played like **** all game and Matt didn’t trust them

Perhaps you missed the 4th quarter.

Should’ve won the game with that missed pick six anyway. Oh well. Showed signs of fight that’s positive. Put money on Iowa State to win next week.

ISU was manhandling Oklahoma in the 4th. I was yelling and unhappy before the snap. Why would you go for two and not just take the tie and use your momentum to try and win in overtime? I think Campbell is great, but this was a bad decision.

Not a bad decision. Jalen Hurts in OT on short fields and terrible ISU kickers. OT is a different game than regulation. Not hard to understand. Use the momentum to take the game with 2. Didn't work out.

Go to bed

Nope. Still couldn’t stop them in the redzone

 

[CY88CE11]

Still don’t trust them

Then you're just ******* wrong or don't understand what football is.

Right call to go for two, didn't like the play call at all though.

Kolar was wide open in the end zone, Pettway got mugged or it would have been an easy touchdown, I dont know what better plays they could have run.

Kudos to Campbell. It was the right decision.

Why not use that momentum and win the game right there? Loved the call to go for 2 and it was the right decision.

Cause with the effort it took to come back, how much was left in the tank for OT? Momentum was there, take advantage of it. OT takes so long to get started OU could have regrouped and just rammed it down our throats.

why? Kolar was wide open. Purdy just missed him but still almost made it work with Pettway.

Nope. We wouldn’t have won in OT.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Thats Kirk Ferentz right there, playing not to lose, lucky for Iowa State they have Matt Campbell who actually has some balls.

Go ahead and think that way, but Alabama would have gone for the extra point and trust his guys in overtime. It’s not that it’s the Ferentz mentality: ISU had the confidence and was playing much better than Oklahoma and the OU secondary was depleted. I think ISU would’ve won in OT over a beat up Oklahoma squad.

Nah. Nights still young. Go Clones and **** Texas.

 

[madguy30]

I don’t have anything against the call, and I admire it. But I could also see us pulling it off in OT just as easy as us losing it. Ultimately your playmakers have to make plays and unfortunately Pettway didn’t do that

Purdy also missed an early Kolar open.

Pettway's had some tough catches this year so I was ok with the ball going to him too.

 

[SDClone]

It would have been very hard to stop them with a short field, and also we don’t have a good kicker. Also you are on the road against #9 team in the country, going for two is a no brainer.

 

[CyCrazy]

Still don’t trust them

Thats a you issue moron

I'd have rather seen the option play we ran with Hall earlier.
