Default Re: The Two Point Conversion When Eight Down



[/ QUOTE ]
Exactly, I see this all the time. Say the score is 28-12 with 8 minutes left and you score making it 28-19 so obviously you will need a 2 point conversion at some point. Why would you not go for it now? If you go for 2 and miss you know that you still need 2 scores so you can plan for this. If you go for a PAT and are down 8, the coach will play the rest of the game as if they are down 1 score and then if they miss the 2 with seconds left, they will lose the game. You will have to go for 2 either way, but doing it immediately makes so much more sense.

With eight minutes left, a field goal and a touchdown is not unrealistic.
