it just makes no sense to not kick up 11 to go up 12 and now you force the other side to score two TD's...You just let them open to get to 11 without having to do that....Yes the giants have to make a 2pt conv as well, so we can't say that hard in this case if you are making the case for pitt trying the 2pt conv...makes no sense to me at all...its risk Vs. what reward being up 13 instead of 12 ?
Like Mike said, that early in the game, you don't think of things in terms of combinations of scores, you just think about points. It's the same reason Oregon would go for two after scoring their first TD of the game.
If its the fourth quarter, and your opponent would need to score-stop-score, then the situation would be different
[/quote]I get the Oregon deal, but pitt already had the 2pt conv when they got a safety and a fg...Why go for two more, that safety turned into a expt....12 instead of 11 would make us both money if we go back through the years...I'm sure you agree with that.

Didnt follow any of that. They already had a 2 pointer by getting a FG and a safety? The safety turned into an extra point?
