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.

Byu did the same thing after Harline was Still open

I still don’t understand why they made us run that play. There are so many

Because Utah could have tied with a score.

Got it. Makes sense.

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.

Close call.

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

You beat me to it.

They probably watched OU earlier in the day.

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.

Wouldn't need an onside kick after blocked PAT return

bythenumbers

He edited it but not the numbers.

We would still kick to them after the blocked PAT… they wouldn’t have to get an

They wouldn't have to kick onside, that's the point

9/19/21 8:41am

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

Weird call …especially after having your backup throw a pass into the

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

Traveshamockery

Nope - guaranteed a two score game

BYU Fan

9/19/21 8:51am

Weird but definitely a good call

9/19/21 9:04am

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

LifeLongLakerFan

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