Nice TD pass. It wasnt going to be a shut out, and now it might even be a game?

Little history lesson for you young ones.
Great interview......except his game in 1980 was a semifinal game not the championship.

But seriously, great interview. I especially like the "we're ignored all year" comment. Spot on. :thumb:

2 pt conversion? 19-8? then with a TD 19-16? Were they planning on 2, two point conversions?

its a 3 score game. Bad coaching on EWU?

Nice pass and an even better run after catch. I still think it will be close before it's over.

Is it still not a three score game? They now have to have 3 TD's for the win, instead of 2 TD's and a FG.

Agreed. The credit must be paid to UD defense for screwing up the game plan of their opposing offenses.

Yup, it was no risk for EWU there.

:dunce:

We're down by 13. I might not have taken a math class in a while, but I'm pretty sure that two TDs (and successful PATs) gives EWU the lead. :twocents:

could have been 19-8, then with another 2 ptr 19-16. Thats a 3 score game to win isnt it?

19-7, then 19-14 is still a 3 score game.

Now its 19-6, 19-13, then 20 for the win. Still a 3 pt game. Over coaching?

Not at all. At this point in the game there is not much difference between 19-6 and 19-7, either way you need two TD's to win. But there is a difference if the score is 19-8, you might be able to get a tie with a FG and another two point conversion.

There was little to lose, but something to gain, by going for two.

I don't believe in the going for 2 early either but the way he was probably thinking is your only chance to have the chance at with the fewest possessions was that way plus if you get the 2's you only need FG range to tie.

At this point they could still win with two TD's and the extra points so you didn't really give up anything did you?

You have to try don't you, especially since they can still win with 2 more TD's.

They gave the one thing they've struggled to get all game - momentum.

You and I are seeing it the same way. There wasn't anything to lose by doing what they did.

Maybe the Eagles are planning on kicking a string of field goals? They only need 5 now. If they had kicked the extra point they would only need 4 to tie.

Difference in philosophy I guess.
