Argh! Why would you go for 2 in the 2nd quarter?

Dumb move by Cal, IMO.

Waaaaay too early to go for 2, unless you subscribe to the TMQ thinking and go for 2 every time (which Cal does not).

I hope that does not come back to haunt them.

Two Point Conversion Chart
Below is a version of the two point conversion chart first developed by Dick Vermeil in the early 1970s when he was offensive coordinator under Tommy Prothro at UCLA. The chart is still used by coaches in helping them to determine whether to go for a two point or one point conversion after a touchdown in various situation.

But it is common practice to not start using the chart (which I knew about) until the 4th quarter (or at least the second half). Going for 2 in the first half is such a crapshoot.

Most coaches are too conservative, coaches that take risks are generally rewarded.

Look at GB's surprise onside last week.
 
Oregon went for 2 last year which is why the score was 15-13 last year.

But Italian Stallion missing that FG last year was unacceptable. It was the one game I didn't sit in the student section and I screamed my ass off. The stadium was insane.

Now last night... ugh. Dammit Maynard.
 
Because they're not pussies. I hate teams playing it safe all the time, it's annoying as fuck. Like why burn the last minute up of the half just because your down a TD? Makes no sense to me. You should always be pushing as hard as you can on the other team. Breaking them physically and mentally. FORCE THEM to make mistakes on defense and offense.
