You can make all the arguments you want but to me, any coach who goes for 2 to end a game in OT has stones.......because that's what it takes!
And I'd put good money on the fact that he usually goes home with his big stones a loser.

Actually, I'm starting to get curious as to what those statistics might actually be. I'd think you'd lose at least 75% of the time.

Is the argument 2 PT conversion success overall or 2PT conversion for the win ONLY. Because wasn't chip sitting at over 80% success rates in his tenure with Oregon, who went for it several times per game?

Here are the Ducks stats on extra points and two point conversions since 2008 through 2016 (according to cfbstats.com):
XP: 576/589 (97.8%)
2 pt: 29/52 (57.7%)
Using these numbers we can see the expected points per attempt for both extra points and two point conversions:
E[XP] = .978*1 = .978 pts/XP
E[2pt] = .577*2 = 1.114 pts/2pt

I don't share the affliction he does, so while I'll be critical of his character, I'll not be critical of his response to physical pain.
Oh I agree. I was just commenting that he must really be in some kind of pain. I hope he gets it taken care of. If he is constantly wincing like that I wonder if he still has pressure on his brain.

I know a lot of y’all like to hate Urban or think he is shady or something. I don’t have any animosity towards him.

Was just pulling for chaos today for fun.

You have to keep in mind the talent differential. They played out of their minds most of the game. Their head coach just became impatient there at the end.
What about the last kickoff in regulation?
You never should give them the opportunity for a big return in that situation. Ever! Big fail.
The face mask before OSU’s last td in reg was just stupid.
They had a running back who had over 270 yds in the game. They ran all over OSU. But there’s a reason this Bama kid is QB at Maryland and not an in state school. That was a terrible throw to a stationary wide open receiver in the end zone.

Dude, what about all of the great plays that put them in the lead most of the game? You are not thinking this through.

I didn’t say anything about them not playing a great game. I said they lost because they played stupid at the end of regulation and I stand by that comment.

Yep - you said that they deserved to lose. We disagree. But you are wrong. :p
