Why did Penn St go for 2?

Some shenanigans going on for the final score I'm thinking ??

I don't get it unless he knows he can't stop Oregon!  Oregon has done whatever they want on offense 

psu doesnt have numerous guys who's legs churn like literal rat's feet. way too much speed a bad matchup for psu

Penn St must have thought they don't want to extend the game and in the event they can score another TD that's unanswered, they would be up 1. Risky, but overall a pretty dumb call imo. 

First sign of desperation....

bullshit play going for 2

Now they are down 9 and NEED to go for 2 but they kick the extra point? 

@sgvguy

going for 2 would have been game over if they didnt get it how is this so hard to understand

@sgvguy

 theyre down by 8 not 9

Either way down 15 they need to go for 2 at some point 

@rosswin97

 So it is better to go for 2 after the next TD? If they don't get that wouldn't it still be game over? How hard is it to understand?

@rosswin97

Why did they go for deep ball when running game is so good. Throw basically game ended 

Lol, James Franklin is so stupid, first going for two and then throwing a bomb on second down and one with two minutes left in the game down by eight. An idiotic moron he is.

@sgvguy

 then you have no choice to go for 2 to tie the game

Yeah I knew it. It's to screw over the live wager Penn St+7.5

@newmarket

 250 yards on the ground. 2nd and 1 he throws a bomb down field out of the 2min warning.. just fucking terrible 

They were down 9 and chose to kick the extra point instead of going for 2. This is because the previous TD instead of kicking the extra point to make it a 7 pt game, they decided to go for 2 instead 

Are you really serious? So why not go for 2 now, and if you get it, the next TD you potentially score you can kick the extra point to "tie the game".  If you don't get it now, you know you need 2 scores and plan on side kick, etc later on. Either way, you will HAVE to go for 2, and if you don't get it, game over 

 They were never down by 9.

I’d say they went for 2 to go for the win on next TD.  Franklin felt like he could get it. Then get a stop and score. Kick it and win by 1.  

Looks like most coaches are doing the same thing. Going for 2 instead of kicking the PAT.  It is about analytics.

Are you sure about that? With 3:47 to go in the 4th quarter, Penn St scored a TD which is 6 points, making the score 45 to 36, which is a 9 point differential 

Remember, there are two team on the field, not one.  So if you are down 9 and miss the 2-point conversion, the other team knows it’s a 2-score game and can adjust accordingly.  If you first kick the extra point and make it a one-score game at 8, there’s more pressure on the other team.  That’s why you don’t go for 2 right away.

Because Franklin is an idiot……
