It was a great call.
Low risk, just 79 seconds left, ASU out of time outs, kept it a two score game, avoided a potential momentum changing 2 pt return.
That's a good reason he's a college football coach and we aren't.

So the call to not kick the extra point and take a knee was Lamb's call.

correct - and I think it's the wrong call. Better to be up 11 points.

If they block and return it you are only up 8 points, 1 score

Single smartest call of the game. We can agree to disagree.

Little advantage to 11 with time left. Risk (very slight but present) of a return for 2 pts to ASU

No reason to take any chances. It's better to take a knee.

He said if there was over 2 minutes left you kick, but under 2, the slim chance

A return botched PAT is 2 points and makes it a one possession game. There's no added value from that PAT.
Indy Coug
9/20/21 11:27am
Or just go for 2 if you’re worried about the kick. A 12-pt lead makes it 2 TDs
Odysseus
9/20/21 11:28am
That's even easier to return for 2 (scoop and score or pick 6)

It was the right call. “You play to win the game.” BYU’s chances of winning were greatest by kneeling.

I think it's more likely to score a FG/TD and then get an onside kick in college

Better to win by 9 than 2, right?

You can't say it is the "wrong call". You may not agree with it nor the reasoning behind it but it isn't wrong.

You might be right if the clock wasn't a factor. With only 1:19 left in the game
LosAlcoug
9/20/21 11:34am
I think this is a fair point. Little clock (and importantly they didn't have any timeouts left) probably means Lamb

Huge leg? Commentators were saying that 40 yds was just within his range.

the guy who did their kickoffs sent one through our goal posts. It nearly hit a cheerleader on the fly.

NBD. I see why they did it, but the game was sealed at that point.

The chances of getting that blocked and ran back for 2 is slim...but, then again

Not just the block, also protecting against running back the kickoff. Right call

Good. It was the right call. The only chance that ASU had at that point

Yep, 0% chance is better than any chance, no matter how unlikely that chance is.
BYUtka
9/20/21 11:28am
The other chance they had was return the kickoff, 2 pt conversion, onside kick
