Anyone know why Rhett went for 2 up 26-0?

[smuhype]

I am guessing I may not be the only one with a TT O 33.5 bad beat?

To be up by 4 full 7 point scores. That way Virginia would need 4 TDs plus a 2 point conversion to win. I am sure the analytics chart said it was the thing to do

Also, it worked! The officials just didn't call it right. Man we got screwed by the refs yesterday: 2pt conversion called short, targeting reversal, great catch by Moochie that was called incomplete.

Amen to the lousy refs! How was that not targeting!!???!!

That is the life of smu.
We need to keep winning even after bad callas.
Expect them.

For the halibut, but the halibut was rotten like the ref's call.

I wonder if part of it is also style points, Kind of like the touchdown at the end of the game.

It looked like coach was going to run out the clock but if I’m not mistaken, UVA’s coach called a TO which opened up the door to go for the TD without looking like a jack [deleted].

I am just saying why not go up 27-0 vs. 28-0.

Seemed like a really ODD call at the time.

I wondered about that last TD too. I was sitting with some UVA folks and they were ticked off about that. What was the betting line? Was there a point spread issue?

[SmooBoy]

Style points are everything with committee members who only check scores (if that).

28 looks like 4 TDs.

Adding a late TD creates a bigger margin of victory, lessening CLOSE games.

It's all optics and everyone must play.
