Not sure who it is but the announcer on this game might be the dumbest EVER!! ArkSt down 12 and coach correctly goes for 2 and IDIOT announcer keeps going on and on about coach not doing math because he says if he kicks it he is only down 11 and can tie with a fg, td and 2 pt conversion!! Why doesnt the producer tell him to just shut up after the first stupid comment!
Unfortunately you hear it all the time. Usually they get all pissy when it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other, such as scoring a TD when you're down 15. But in this instance it wasn't 50/50, it was absolutely the right thing to go for two. The strategy of kicking a FG down 10 makes far more sense than down 11 because you're nearly assured of tying the game with the next TD. If you miss the two and are down 12, you at least know right then you need two TD's
