    they were down 11, so they did need to score twice.

    my mistake, I didn't watch the game I looked at the box score and saw they kicked a short FG late in the game down 11.

    edit: good stuff in that article

    Ferentz was using sound strategy if he was down nine, or ten, or even eleven points, in which a successful field goal could reduce Wisconsin's lead to a single score. Ferentz was using sound strategy if the two-point conversion did not exist in college football, which would make this a two-possession game. But Ferentz does not live in those worlds. He lives in this one, where a touchdown and two-point conversion would have tied the game without a second possession. This is not typical Ferentz conservative philosophy. This is no philosophy at all. This is kicking field goals without thought. This is cro-magnon football nihlism.

    It was stunning to hear him answer that same question twice.

    Congrats Slick Vic and the Nittany Lions!

    Lamar Lackson is nuts! Already holds the Louisville single-season record for touchdowns! Damn!

    I'm not sure it is always sound strategy to take the FG down, 9, 10 , 11. Probably depends how close to the endzone you are? How long the 4th down is?

    In his defense, he could have taken a knee.
    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.
