Re: The Two Point Conversion When Eight Down
[ QUOTE ]
While there are at least strong arguments whether you should kick extra points both times or go for two both times when down by two, I think we'd all agree that what Mike Riley did today was patently ridiculous. Kicks the extra point to get within 7, then goes for two after getting within one. Yeah, it worked because Bernard got into the end zone, but that can't be the right play. As someone who cheered for Oregon State to get back and cover after being down all 4th quarter, I feel very betrayed.

If you believe your chances of getting 2 are greater than 50%, then you should go for 2 when you are down by one. (Of course, he also should have gone for 2 when he was down by 8).
