Because it would put us at a tie with if they scored 4 touchdowns w/ xtra points
But if we hit the extra point, they still can win w/ 4 TDs plus Xtra points.
It really is just a strategic move and the analytics say it should be done.

So - lingering question - why go for the 2 pt conversion up 33 to 7?

35-7. 4 even TDs. He didn’t know if Colorado was going to go off. 🤷♂️

Even still, quite early to be doing that sort of thing in my book.

It makes it a four touchdown game 28 point differential. It was logical.

With that amount of time left and having will ferrin. No it’s not logical

It's not illogical either. Perhaps we had a play that we thought we could convert 80% of the time? If so, then I'm ok

They didn't convert but I thought it was the smart play.

Well seeing 2pt conversions are less than 45% converted. I’m sure every team

It's just pure math. Being up 26 or 27 is pretty much the same, but up 28 means

I care because we have will ferrin. It’s automatic 1 yet for the sake of math we

Going for it to put you up 4 even touchdowns seems a little insecure in your defense, which doesn’t make sense

Colorado has been explosive on offense all year. They can score quickly.

28 points (4 TD's to tie) vs 27 (4 TD's to win). Also Colorado can score quickly

His math is correct. Your ability to follow his logic is not.

They weren’t going to totally count the INT. They took it in a soft count

To remove all doubt that we can’t convert 2 pointer.

I think they wanted to practice red zone throws in low stakes

For everyone who said it was to go up by 4 TD's even - that is what I assumed.
Eddie

the reality is that there is no strong evidence either way on what the best move would be.

It made sense and was not running up the score at that point. It made sense to

Making or missing that attempt wasn't going to seal the game. The game was done.

Actually, there is more risk of missing the 2 pt conversion than 1 point. Which one is really running up the score?
