Why are they going for 2?

because you have to make 2 at some point. It’s better to miss now and figure out you need 3 scores, instead of missing later and finding out your are screwed. Not to mention if you make the 1st two 2 pt attempts, you have the choice to tie or go for the win on the last one

Ok? Michigan hasn’t stopped OSU all game. A field goal does nothing. Not like Michigan is going to shut out OSU rest of game

That doesn’t mean you start going on 4th and 11 when you can bring it down to a 3 possession game.

You take the points and give yourself a shot, no matter how much of a long shot it is.

Now going for the 2 point conversion right there — I don’t agree with because if they miss, it’d have been a 3 possession game still. Luckily they got it.

You think they are going to start going for 2 after every TD, do you?

They need two two point conversions!!! Better to know now than later if you miss.

Poor coaching from day. Burn the timeout and get your shit together when playclock is about to go off on a big 3rd and 1

Mistakes are starting to creep in on the OSU side all over the place. They think this game is over?

That’s two stops in a row. I’m not sure Michigan has it in them to win, but it seems like Harbs has been playing it right so far in setting the table for a possible come back.

But it is perception — getting it to a 2 possession game adds ‘some’ pressure to the other team.

I realize they need 2 point conversions, but if they would have missed it there, I think it would have been deflating to UM to still be down 3 scores.

He has a long way to go to make it on UM’s WR Corp. Olave only has one drop. UM has made it a habit in the 2nd half. Unfortunately.
