USC going for 2?!

What in the actual hell goes into the thought process of coaches anymore on when they need to go for 2 points??  USC scores and the coach decides to go for 2 instead of kicking the extra point to then be 7 down. WHY?? The logic makes zero sense anymore. When I played the only time you went for 2 is when you absolutely had to do so or it was a gametime decision to win the game. Why go for it now? You failed to convert and are now down 8 and have to go for 2 pts again if you score instead of the extra point. 

I can’t figure this one out either 

He knows he sucks defensively

Kicker sucks

@Raiderpug

 I can see that reasoning honestly but man you would still think he'd kick and get within 7 to keep it within easy reach if your defense does happen to hold.

@mikebdb

 Ahhhh, well, theres that. I guess if youre just as likely to miss the pat what does it matter.

I said the same shit in my head wtf was the point of that I had +10.5 anyways but still

My buddy just lost his Christmas money brought way up to 14 usc ..horrible

it's the absolutely mathematically right call.  UNC did it today vs Duke and converted.

in the second half, if you're down 14 and score a TD, go for 2.

And unc lost to duke. So it didn’t work out ? Eh ?

unc was leading 25-24 late in the 4th quarter, instead of being tied.  so it did work out as they took the lead.

if you dont understand math and probabilities, i get it.  but smart people who do get it have done the calculations and it's the right play.
