I know hindsight is 20/20...but, does anyone else think we should have gone for 2 on that last touchdown? Before we even scored, i texted my buddy and said we should go for 2 if we score..sure enough, the very next play AR catches a TD pass... normally, i would only suggest this on the road. But given the opponent who picks up chunks of yardage at will..I think our chances would have been better to convert two than beating navy in OT (given our opponent and recent overtime track record)...just a thought...opinions?

Considering our record in OT - maybe so.

I think we go for 2 if we are in that situation again this year.

No way! Take it to OT and win it there.
If you go for 2 you've reduced the game down to one play. If you get it into OT you have at least 4 downs to make it happen. Unfortunately we failed on all 4.

I'm not going to second guess that decision but you got to realize a running team like Navy has a big advantage over a Run and Shoot team in Overtime. I did suggest before Overtime started that Jones should consider going for 2.

Exactly, your crazy to think we have a better chance to win in OT against Navy's tripple option especially when they have most of the momentum and scored 31 2nd half points, as opposed to one play from the 2.5 yard line. Id take My chances going for two..
