Boston College was down 20-2 and just scored a TD with a little over 6 to go.

At 20-8, why go for 2 there? Why not kick the PAT and make it 11? That way, you have the option to kick a FG if you get the ball back and extend the game. You extend the game.

I realize you’re eventually going to have to get a 2 to tie when you’re down 18 (8+7+3), but why go for 2 before you absolutely HAVE to?
