Why do coaches go for 2 so early?

Jimbo aint the sharpest tool in the shed but with all the momentum why would u go for 2?

being up by 3 this early means nothing, now a touchdown only makes it a one possession game. Always bothered me when coaches chased points.

Agree 100%.

I'd like to say there is some "strategy" involved but if so its too advanced for my own brain to comprehend.

Florida State in this one similar to last season in most all their games, slow out the gate "owned" 1st Half then gets their shit together 2nd half to Win but not cover ATS except....

.....looking like they may actually COVER A SPREAD HERE.

I missed too many 1H ATS Fades of Seminoles last season....I ain't got "records" but it seems like those were CashMoney.

Can we work that this year?

Seminole Mindset = "We're good enough to really "put in work" 2H?

....or is this game here just a "coincidence" of similar playout? To last season?

Not the Minn coach. He went for 2 with a 7 point lead & a little over a minute to go

theres no way going for 2 when you're winning is smart. not with almost 30 minutes left in the game

it is sometimes baffling what coaches do

Which one is worth more points. College kickers make about 96% of extra points, right? That means if a team can score a two point conversion over 48% of the time, they should be going for two often. Especially early and especially for underdogs that want to increase variance.
