Both are good players, but I might have to side with Martinez on this one. Dude was a baller last year.
Where's Martinez?

I think in that particular situation. You go for the win right then and there. Don't let OU have a chance to win in OT. It's what KU did @ Texas a few weeks back and it worked out, although they let Texas drive down the field and kick a game winning field goal.What was everyone's thoughts about going for two last week? I can see it both ways and think it is a coin flip decision. ISU had all the momentum and I feel OT was the best choice at that point. But you were also huge underedogs on the road so I can see why you would go for two.

I liked the call to go for two. I'll bet Sooner nation was shitting their pants for a solid minute there.

It's similar to when you're down two on the road in basketball and the away team has the ball to take the final shot. Do you go for the win or go for the tie? A lot of teams, especially the underdogs, go for the win. I liked the call and hope if we have a similar scenario, we do it again.
I agree with the decision without a doubt. Go for the win on the road.What was everyone's thoughts about going for two last week? I can see it both ways and think it is a coin flip decision.

Totally agree. If we were on the road against say, West Virginia, I would've rather us play for OT. But against a team like OU I think the right call is to take a shot for the win.Kind of how I feel too. Underdog on the road go for two. If you are the favorite you play for OT there.
But then rejoicing that they just won the game instead of having to sweat it out on OT. I feel ISU would have won in OT, but that can be a crapshoot too.
It's one of those calls that if it goes right, everyone is saying Coach Campbell is a genius and if it doesn't go right (which it didn't) some people say it was the right call and some say it wasn't.But then rejoicing that they just won the game instead of having to sweat it out on OT.

I agree. I personally wouldn't ever have an issue with the coach going for the win there.It's one of those calls that if it goes right, everyone is saying Coach Campbell is a genius and if it doesn't go right (which it didn't) some people say it was the right call and some say it wasn't.
Of course that looks awful now. Martinez did play good last year, but he has been awful this year and I love it.

I never understood Farley's reasoning for NOT going for 2 in the 2nd OT of the UNI game. Huge mistake on his part I thought.I think this is almost always the rule of thumb to use.
I also think that momentum from the 4th quarter is overrated/overvalued by those that feel it carries into the overtime periods. You start back at 0-0 on the road in a hostile environment. The situation is not unlike a timeout being used in basketball to kill a big run (momentum).

He's having a really good season. I like him.Thoughts on Purdy and the year he's having?

It went just fine from the perspective of the play materializing.It's one of those calls that if it goes right, everyone is saying Coach Campbell is a genius and if it doesn't go right (which it didn't) some people say it was the right call and some say it wasn't.
Been awesome except for the debacle against OSU.
