They wouldn't have to kick onside, that's the point
If, with very small odds, they somehow get 2 points out of the PAT, we are kicking off to them with a single-score lead.
The probability of it mattering was very small, but it was still the right call.

Anybody else think the decision not to kick the PAT was weird?

8 is a single score game. It was the right call

absolutely the no brainer call for this reason. Shows the coaches were on top

8 is one score though. 10 vs 11 doesn’t matter. And maybe with Oldroyd out they

8 is one score. So hypothetically a blocked PAT returned followed by a Hail Mary and they tie it.

I mean, the knee makes it 99.99999% instead of just 99.9999% that we win.

Ya the math seemed a wash to me too, unless they have some analytics we don’t.

If they did have analytics, I’m sure Rod would have let us know.

Being up 2 scores is better than the possibility of not being up 2 scores.

Because Utah could have tied with a score.

8 points is still a one possession game, and overtime would be dicey.

I was definitely getting nervous envisioning a quick score, onside and FG to tie

The in-game announcers and the post-game show were praising the call.

They wanted to stay on script with one more point margin of victory each game

How's the kicker feel about it? Not showing a lot of confidence in the backup.

Holy crap people, I realize 8 is a 1 possession game, HOWEVER

They can still do the stuff in situation two, but it gives them the extra (unlikely) out in situation one.

There was a blocked PAT returned earlier and BYU was on the backup kicker.

Considering the circumstances, wasn’t weird at all. Great call.

Nope - guaranteed a two score game

Weird but definitely a good call

A block and return would take it to a one score game.

It would only be weird if it didn’t make any sense to do so.
