You are right , the 2 point conversion put us up by 14. He KNEW his defense would not stop them from scoring another touchdown and try the on side kick and have another chance to score again and tie them up. Does that show confidence in his defense?We were up by 12 before the conversion.
The 2 point conversion put us up by 14. The 1 point extra point was not going to do anything. Being up by 12 or 13 is the same thing.
The decision had Zero to do with how he felt about our D.
It shows nothing.You are right , the 2 point conversion put us up by 14. He KNEW his defense would not stop them from scoring another touchdown and try the on side kick and have another chance to score again and tie them up. Does that show confidence in his defense?
Saban went for two against Clemson back in 2008 up by 20+. That doesn't scream no trust in his D. Like the above poster said: it's game strategy. He's done this on more than one occasion.You are right , the 2 point conversion put us up by 14. He KNEW his defense would not stop them from scoring another touchdown and try the on side kick and have another chance to score again and tie them up. Does that show confidence in his defense?
Say this every year and it is true. Unfortunately we have not shown we can do that this year.we can beat anyone if we just play clean.
They wereThe crowd needs to be loud as hell today. There's literally no excuse to be on your ass and quiet.
Iām curious if this was Jeffersonās best game of the season. It was a hostile environment. The crowd was very loud. Also wonder if it was Burks best game.

No Just the metrics...no matter how you look at itCoaching 101 - when you're up by 12 you go for 2 to make it 2 TDs AND 2 extra points just to tie. Nothing to do with confidence in the defense. Dumb to kick an extra point there.
I heard them during the UT game, Not till the end did I heard them during the LSU game, Yesterday I didn't heard them at all!! CBS muted them for some reason?They were
The root causeā¦. For the THIRD time is because leading by 12 points is exactly the same as leading by 13. There is little to zero benefit in kicking 1 point there. The ONLY option is to go for 2 so you lead by 14. If a coach where to kick the 1 pointer in lieu of the 2 point tryā¦ Iād seriously question that coaches abilities to make good play calls.@'65 Cobra ,@94 Grad, I fully understand the strategy of going for 2 points to put us up by 14. I have seen teams go for 2 too many times to calculate after watching countless games over at least 55 years of watching and understanding the game. A couple of questions for you. What is the root cause for the thinking you need to go for 2 to to go up by 14? Did either of you have confidence that our defense would stop the Hogs on their last possession? A hypothetical here. IF they had recovered their on side kick, did you have confidence we could or would stop them from scoring another touchdown?
They donāt want to broadcast the letās go Brandon cheersā¦I heard them during the UT game, Not till the end did I heard them during the LSU game, Yesterday I didn't heard them at all!! CBS muted them for some reason?
Rick....it was as loud as it could be....fans jad that buzz again...I heard them during the UT game, Not till the end did I heard them during the LSU game, Yesterday I didn't heard them at all!! CBS muted them for some reason?
I agree 100% the reason for going for 2 points. And yes, I was able to grasp the reason for going for 2 in around 1966 when I was 10 years old,The root causeā¦. For the THIRD time is because leading by 12 points is exactly the same as leading by 13. There is little to zero benefit in kicking 1 point there. The ONLY option is to go for 2 so you lead by 14.

The decision has zero/zip/nada to due with what kind of defense you have. If you cannot grasp thatā¦ I canāt help you.
