Curious what people’s opinions are on 2 point conversions (as a philosophical discussion—not as a complaint/criticism about the game).
Late in the game, when possessions will be limited, I think they may make sense (make it a 7 point game instead of 6)
However, any time prior to the 4th quarter, I just think it’s too big a risk to give away that free (for the most part) point.
After our failed 2pt attempt, UNT had (I believe) 3 more possessions.
The way we were trying to give away yardage, what if UNT had kicked 2 FGs? That extra point would’ve been the difference between going to OT instead of losing in regulation.
What if we had kicked a FG in the 4th quarter? That extra point would’ve been the difference between a 1 or 2 possession game.
I know, I know. The list of “what if’s” is endless. But that’s sorta my point. The earlier in the game, the longer the “what if” list is—and I’d rather the one sure point.
