Whittingham is an amazing coach. But that call was unbelievably stupid. Make no doubt, that call was 100% Whittingham. F**king stupid. I don’t know what the f**k was going through his head.
Nope!
But you should cry about it
Dude the pass was there. It was the right decision and the right play call. If Williams didn’t panic (like he always does) — or if we had Huntley at qb on that play — we would be celebrating an awesome victory right now.
So if we know Williams always panics why was it the right f**king call?
Odds wise does Williams somehow score in OT? Despite only mustering up 21 in regulation?? Be honest.
Excuse me he mustered 20.
So you bet on the guy who has continually folded under pressure? Rather than tie it up?
Disagree. The play was there. Williams missed it
Which goes back to coaching and knowing what your current talent on the field is capable of.
I thought it was the right call. On the road, you go for the win. Carrington was open right in front of Williams. Just toss it up and we’re all singing praises on the decision to go for two.
No way Whitt played the odds. That was the best thing to do.
I do not understand going for 2 unless you have some amazing trick play you’ve never shown and run in practice to perfection 100/100 times.
We have the WORST red zone offense in the country and TW is terrible in that situation. Kick the ball!
Thank you. Can’t score a td with three tries why suddenly is this a good call again?
Carrington was wide open.
We had a much better chance of scoring a 2 pt conversion from 3 yards out than we did scoring a TD from 25 yards out if needed. And if the game were to go multiple OTs, our chances of matching them score for score would be even worse.
It was the absolute right call. Their offense was literally unstoppable. Their Oline controlled the whole second half. Our Dline was gassed.
except for the fact that we matched them score for score in the whole game, sans the botched 2 point conversion… (but the D scored one..)

Question, would you rather have a 50-50 chance to win on the TO or risk the odds of playing against odds that say home team wins 60% of the time and the team that wins the coin toss and defers wins 60% of the time. Sure, you have a 50-50 shot to have a chance to have a 50-50 shot to win in OT, but you play first and that’s an uphill slog, statistically speaking.
What are the odds of making a 2-point conversion on the road to win vs the odds of winning in OT on the road?
^^^This!!^^^
The call was fine. Williams not seeing Carrington wide f*cking open is what was unbelievably stupid.
Goddammit I am bitter right now. Huge opportunity for Utah and they just couldn’t capitalize.
Carrington was open, yes. And guess what? Williams didn’t see him. The play was good, but why trust TW2? Take the points and at least have multiple tries in OT vs. one try on a 2pt.
From a probability perspective absolutely the right call. I question the play call though with a QB that goes brain dead when flushed from the pocket. Seems like some sort of misdirection and flip to moss going the opposite direction would have been the play. Oh well, another season, another no South Division title. We just aren’t that good.
