Why all the previous discussions as part of the posts? Best quarterback running ever in a drive by a BYU quarterback wasted by this decision. Awesome job Taysom.

Come on now, I think he should have kicked the PAT too, but let's not get crazy.

Crowtin would have lost by 30 tonight.

Why do you say that? The last time a Crowton-led BYU team played in Boise, they almost beat what is likely to be a better team than this one.

I think you have those 2 years reversed. But maybe I do.

When your offense has looked that completely and totally inept, but you have a chance to win the game, you take it. I have no problem with the decision to go for 2.

But the play they ran was stupid.

Yeah, after sitting on it for an hour, and given our offensive ineptitude. I think you go for two.

I change my vote.

If you convert it, now Boise has to open up and take chances on offense and maybe they make a mistake trying to force things.

We want aggressive offensive coaches. Right call, bad blocking.
EXACTLY. When your offense is stinking it up, but by some miracle you have a chance to take the lead late in the game, you go for it.

If the offense is stinking it up, then what makes you believe that that offense would win the game for us on a 2pt cov. Likely scenario: We go to overtime, no TDs but we have a much better chance at winning the game on a FG than does BSU...

Funny to hear all the arm chair qbs say how dumb it was to go for 2 in that situation. But we know what Broncos decision was and Chris Peterson said he would have done the same. So lets see 2 coaches in the top ten for winning percentage over the last 5 years opinions vs a bunch of guys who haven't done any thing....... I know who I would trust in that situation.
