Message: [QUOTE="Kemba Time, post: 4395932, member: 2962"] The most important thing to everything I’m saying is we are talking about something that comes down to very little overall win probability impact and both sides are reasonably defensible. Which was the point of my original announcer thread annoyance at them basically saying ‘We know more than the coach does, gotta go for 2’ and moving on instead of looking at any further reasoning. I personally would lean toward the math I laid out and putting the least pressure on my true freshman quarterback and relatively new to close-and-late pressure offense as I can. Taking a way needed to convert what is essentially 4th-down and 3, leaving the option of a field goal to win in play as long as possible and trusting my defense to stop Fresno on a short yardage two-point conversion as they have all day even if someone gives up a fluky big-play TD. But you could argue both sides of the art of coaching all day, does not getting a two-point conversion give Fresno some momentum back, does it let the seed of doubt creep in for a team that hasn’t felt winning a close game in a long long time? Or does getting the two maybe feel like an exclamation point for a team with budding confidence there? Would certainly be interesting to hear Mora’s thoughts on why made his decision. [/QUOTE]
