Why did we go for 2 again?

With as little time left, didn't seem to add anything over an extra pt.

So if they score a TD they must make the XP to win

For all we knew, Ohio State's kicker could be just as erratic as Potter. The two point conversion would have put the game on his shoulders. Even good kickers can miss in a big situation. (Hello, Jawja!)

depends, if its 4th and really long, you may kick fg
Jan 2, 2020, 8:35 AM
|

if its like 4th and long say 15 plus yards, you may kick the fg. The odds arent in your favor either way, but it comes down to if you think you have a better chance at getting 15-20 yds to convert when defense knows you will be passing or get an onside kick.

Made it a 6 point lead. Forces them to score a TD AND PAT to win. It’s a long shot to block a PAT or them miss it but you never know.

It not only made them have to kick an extra point to win (were they to score), but a successful 2-pt conversion (which we had) gave us a chance to try a ridiculously long FG for the win were they to somehow score against a prevent defense. Glad we didn’t have to find out why!
Go Tigers!

Dabo wanted to rub it in on OSU by showing them how to score in the redzone, let ESPiN and the playoff committee know that we should have been the top seed and playing in ATL and put LSU on notice that Dabo is coming and he's bringing the raff of hell with him.

The two field goals worry, plus the possibility of the missed extra point.

If we go up 28-23, and they score a TD w/ PAT to make it 28-30, then a FG for us wins it. If they go for two and fail, then a FG for us still wins it. If they make the two points, a FG for us only ties it. I still think making them score a TD and PAT is probably the reason.

Making it so they have to get XP if they score.
