    That call is only exceeded by Bubba's 4th down call v NDSU two seasons ago for its "what are you doing" factor.
    Not even close. The game was over and he knew it that's why he kicked it. Everyone knew it. Bubbles call was the dumbest thing I have ever seen but he needs a lifetime contract for the fawkers!

    Yeah, if NDSU had 99 problems on Sunday, not going for 2 was not one of them. That said, it was the most easily preventable and therefore the most frustrating - but the dead ball PF bothered me way more.

    It really was a white-flag? I never thought I'd see that from NDSU.

    True - but I actually agree with Sic and others here… If you go for 2 there, you send a message to your team and everyone watching: We’re not done yet. Who knows how that affects the outcome, even if it was still a long shot…

    U always go for two there. No questions asked that what bothers everyone. Instead we go for two when we are up like 30 this year just for giggles.

    I wanted to think that if we got it down to a 2-score game with 11-minutes to go, anything could happen. Kicking the extra point at that juncture guaranteed one result: L.

    Entz scenario card only has us winning. He doesn't have the scenarios for us losing on his card so how was he was supposed to know we were supposed to go for 2? Also, that is why we ran the play clock down too.
    We hadn't stopped SDSU all day at that point shouldn't we have tried to onside kick it at that point?

    We should have gone for 2. Absolutely we should have tried an onside kick. Every kick from that point on should have. Heck an onside kick to start the half might have been a good idea.

    I don’t know about all of that. Probably depends on how the PAT2 turns out. If you convert it you’ve still got time for two 6 minute drives which SDSU was willing to give you if you could execute. Of course you need two 3 and outs from the defense as well. Kicking the PAT1 was either a stupid mistake or the white flag. Can’t have either of those in that spot.

    Obviously 1 point doesn’t change the outcome but these binary decisions, clock management, two minute offense etc are things that have not improved with this staff.

It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.
