Well this play definitely defies any logic other than we want to lose..
Just a prevent needed and make this play call? Even most jr defensive coordinator would not make this call.
True, just looked at it. It seems that they screwed up the math, perhaps the coach forgot his calculator that yesterday? If they were up by 2 points with 13 seconds left, then their defense made sense (to me) as they would have need 10 or 15 yards to get in field goal range.
But without a calculator, how could the coach know that a touchdown was needed?
