I would expect more risk taking when the downside of failure is negligible.


Me too, which of course, makes it not risky at all.


You know 3 or 4 of those 2pt conversions could help in the NC against TCU. I just think they should practice now.

I just don't like the 3 yards. That is about twice as hard as 2 yards!

Thats because it is a secret :wink:

You can't roll in the Pro stats. 2 and 3 yards are totally different worlds.

Right. The difference between college and pro is night and day. Every player that plays in the NFL was a great college player. Most college players never play in the NFL.

If the risk-reward made it worth it, the coaches in the NFL would do it. College is a little different because the talent level isn't as high, but the - almost- automatic points is generally the way to go.

I think the two point conversion has it's place. It just usually is a risk that isn't worth the reward. When you are winning or losing by enough points the risk changes and it makes more sense.
