Only go for it if necessary, tbh
And I'm not talking about being down by 2 with 0:35 seconds left in the game. That's a no-brainer.
Oregon is making a little news because they lost by 3 to Nebraska last week. They scored 5 touchdowns and went for 2 every single time, but they only got one successful 2 point conversion. To be fair...not too many teams do this (and Oregon is probably the most famous).
Just wondering, "Why the need to chase the points so early in the game?" What's the logic behind this? I understand that if you actually do get the 2 pts early the other team is already behind the 8-ball, but does the risk outweigh the reward?

At this point, since the college PAT is still a chip shot, teams should take it unless they need the two points.
I'm almost certain it's bc their kicking game is a mess. Our starter to start the season (now a backup) missed his first two XPs of the season. Shortly after, I remember reading that UTSA was one of only a few teams to miss multiple XPs after week one. Oregon was on the list too. Their kicker missed three IIRC.
A lot of that is probably first game (or very early season) nerves. I don't think that is enough to buck the trend and start going for 2 every time. Also, I don't know if he straight up missed the PAT or it was blocked (which isn't always the kickers fault).
I'm not an expert on Oregon recruiting, but I suspect they got a pretty decent high school or Juco commit. He's good enough to make a chip shot PAT. He practices it every single day (all day).
Oregon always go for 2 after their 1st td.
I dont go for 2 ever, until you reach the last 8 minutes of the game. Otherwise, you start chasing points the rest of the game.
Now, in the nfl, with the new pat rules, i would go for 2 more often, especially during non-conference games.
