Seriously doubt I'd have gone for it right there. You're not completely overmatched like Boise was to OU. Just kick the damn PAT and go to OT #3.

Damn. Made the right call to go for two. Locker was going to find the endzone again in third, and there was no way OSU could put another 6 on the board.

Oh well, such is life in the Pac-10.

Katz moving the ball like that at the end was absolutely miraculous. Taking the PAT and going for two was a coin flip, gamble either way. You try to end the game right there.

That's college football. You have to roll the dice, and sometimes you're going to get burned.

IMO taking the PAT right there is conceding defeat.

I don't know how much more glaringly obvious it is that losing half of the Rodgers bros is going to kill OSU this season. I stick by my prediction that injury took two wins off the schedule for the Beavs, that was one of them.

Generally, I'd like the call to try and bookend the game. But, Oregon State was probably the better team overall in that game. You don't have to go for the 2 right there.

Eh. I think it wasn't a bad idea to try and just win the game right there, given that they weren't going to be stopping Locker and were about to forced to go for two anyway the next OT. It was their last chance to win the game on offense, so they took it.

OSU's offense lives and dies with Katz. Their o-line is terrible and receivers are average at best.

Katz reminds me a lot of Ainge in '04 for us -- Equally likely to make a huge error as he is to make a miracle freak play.

Little to no chance OSU finds the endzone in the third OT. >80% chance the Huskies did.

By no means, am I conservative in my approach to football philosophy.

However, I don't believe in taking that big of a risk until you absolutely have to. You've just taken a pretty important conference game, and boiled your chances down into one play. That's not a risk that has to be taken at that point.

If Quizz is getting stuffed like that, say you take the PAT and go on offense again immediately afterwards, odds are pretty high that it won't go well.

Basically, the more plays Katz has to make, the more likely he is to lose the game.

My main reasoning for that would have been that Oregon State had scored on both of their overtime drives.

For me, it's more or less a philosophy thing. I wouldn't have done it. But at this current moment, I'm not a coach.

It was pretty apparent that OSU was reaching as deep as they possibly could and still barely pulled out a TD by the skin of their teeth.

Locker literally could have put TD's and 2pts up for the next five OT's. He has some crappy games, but most of the time, if it's tight at the end and it's on him, he's money.
