This made ABSOLUTELY no sense in regards to many things. #1 being you&#x27;re on the road. You&#x27;re not at home. You&#x27;re down by 14 not 15. #2 you know you need to score again to even have a shot so taking the chance on that 2 PT was FOOLISH. Although it worked out, there is no (0%) logic to going for 2 at that time in the game on the road in that position. I&#x27;ve been doing this for 20&#x2B; years and no newbie to bad beats, but this is very SUSPICIOUS

It&#x27;s rigged. They go for two when it makes no sense and Memphis just lays down.

&#xA;I agree with this. Coach clearly helped any SMU backers including big donors to cover. The previous go for two attempts made sense...one was when they were down by 16. Down by 14 knowing you&#x2019;ll have to onside kick and still go for two makes absolutely no sense....

Yup SMU coach was trying to cover the spread.  No ifs ands or buts about it

everything is joke.  We have to beat the joke.  Heritage line was moving 5 1/2. 6 1/2. 6 and 5 1/2 at last minute.Different story but I still remember NFL Denver game.  Denver was covering spread at very end of 4thQ.  Denver was 4th down with less than a minute left and Elway throwed 4th down to own goal and Denver won the game but didn&#x27;t cover because of safety.   Elway said the free kick after safety was able to kick deeper than pant from there...........all joke.
