No way to explain it unless you are gambling unless he was setting up the FG and a Safety (LOL) to win. If anything it is the completely wron move because if they would have scored another TD and missed the extra point it wuld have gone to ot VS winning the game. Would love to hear his explaination.:smoker2:
Yep -- same here. I was HUGE on Cal (live betting), and got 2 heart attacks in the last few minutes: (1) the fumble; and (2) the 2-point conversion attempt. Wow!
And, amazingly, neither of the knucklehead announcers had a clue about the line. Al Michaels would have been all over that!! (he loves pointing out that stuff)
Like one poster above said -- I can laugh now, but it would've been ugly had they punched that in.

They went with the option to the left side, to Hall. Might not have been much of an "option" though -- looked like it was going to be pitched to Hall from the get-go. He got a yard, maybe a yard and a half, but Cal was waiting for him (thank God!). Close enough to make my heart race though.
The crazy thing is, AF even called a time out before the play (after the TD) -- so the coach had plenty of time to consider the call. So it's not like this was a knee-jerk reaction under time pressure, where he might have made the wrong call. This was deliberate; he wanted the two points. He wanted to cover.
