Only do it when you absolutely need them! That is all.... Ridiculous!!!

I agree and I am catching hell from the Great HNation Game Time coaches on this.

I see that happen soooooo often.. don't go for 2 until 4th quarter or even later.

Stop...stop now. Do you idiots think maybe, just maybe...Purdue tries to score inside our 10 yard line when they had the first and goal...if they were down three? Brohm would have tried to score if he was down three. You don't know if they would have gotten it. I'm not saying it was what KF should have done...but there are other considerations to that decision.

I'd rather they had to score a touchdown.

Or lets not try for 2 with a play giving Stanley an opportunity to try and drill a hole through the receivers chest with the ball.

Yes on a rollout where they cut the field in half for the offense.

Stop now hell, if we were up by three yeah they would have tried to score, maybe got a holding penalty heaven forbid, or maybe throw a pick, or maybe score and beat us by 4

But I would have taken those odds rather than the way it turned out

I won’t argue this with anyone.. It’s stupid to chase points that early in a football game, unless you down more than 2 possessions. EVER!!

I gotta tell y'all...watching this shit is almost stroke inducing for a football-knowledgeable hyper-competitive cat like me. I think it's the lack of control I have over the situation that vexes me most. I know I shouldn't give a shit cuz it's just entertainment, but I get sucked in. I think I need a new hobby. This team might kill me off.

They would have tried to score earlier, and if they did, we at least would have had some time left.

Iowa football since 2010 has been like a train wreck at most times. You don't want to look, but you just can't help yourself
