Will NU go for 2 every time?

[salsa red]

I think Frost goes for 2 every time unless we build a good lead or are getting blown out. What do you guys think?

 

[Anegada1]

Highly unlikely

Wouldn't be the worst idea. The kicker left quite a few points on the field last week.

Nice thought, but I doubt it. I think this is one place Culp can be (fairly) automatic. I know we missed one last week, but that wasn’t Culp.

If we only go for two moving forward, then we may as well go for it on 4th down all the time as well. If you don’t trust your kicker for extra points, you absolutely don’t trust him on field goals.

No, but he better go for it on 4th and less than 10 from between the 15 and 50 yard lines.

frost would be in a catch 22, if martinez didn't convert, they would ask why go for 2, and he would have to throw the kicker under the bus.

Didn't he miss one in each of the losses on the road?

No, just against Illinois. Frost brought in the backup for the miss against Oklahoma.

That’s why I said (fairly) automatic. He has missed one extra point, made the rest. Is that automatic? Nope. But it is (fairly) automatic.

Make sense?

Edit: (tail between my legs) my bad, evidently Culp missed 2 extra points against Illinois. Sorry @BleedRed78.

If you have a OL capable of pushing the DL back a couple of yards on most plays, maybe. With our OL? Not so much.

 

[Bubblehead]

All I know is that if he misses a extra point and or a field goal that costs us the game. He might as well move to Haiti

 

[BadgerPete]

I ref high school football games in my state and can attest to the fact that 90% of extra points are made by kickers. Field goals are a different story, but kicking try‘s, between the hash’s—it‘s almost a lock.

 

[Sinomatic]

Doubt it. SF didn't change the type of snap they were using when Jurgens was snapping it 3 ft over Adrian's left shoulder every game twice a game last year.

I think they will have him play through it. It seems there is no tactical adjustment with Frost to maybe help win games in the short term. I think it's just his way of coaching.

And then again maybe there really isn't anyone better. Maybe he's lights out in practice but gets stage fright.

No, he stated he will go with Culp.
