[Husker] A&M two point conversion

[Mike Nolan]

> A&M went for two after their last td with the score 36-14.  I think it was well into the fourth quarter.  The play was unsuccessful and the crowd booed loudly.  Has anyone seen anything on this as to why they chose to go for two?

The point differential was 22 at the time.  If they go for 2 and are
successful, that would make it 24, which means that 3 TDs and 3 successful
2 point conversions would only tie the game, not win it.  Even though
the Huskers were having another mediocre day on offense (and that's being
kind), Nebraska has shown it can do quick-strike TDs when things work right.  

Ask Minnesota how safe a 21 point lead was against Northwestern. 

Going for 2 is what the chart says they should do in that situation.  

Beyond that, given that there was just 4:32 left in the game, it may have 
been for the practice.  Who knows, they may need to go for 2 in a 'real' 
game yet this season.  :sigh:
