It all depends on the TO situation and we had TO's so didn't have to.  It actually worked in our favor once they got that first down and we had 2 TO's left because they wouldn't really be able to run out clock since it was goal to go.  By using our 2 TO's the most they could do was run the clock once or get in the endzone obviously and we'd have close to 2 mins either way. 
 
If they had ball back at 30 or 40 or not got the first down inside the 10 on that first play then they would have been able to run clock out by making us use TO's then possibly getting first down and ending it.  Obviously we could have got them to go 3 and out and they may not have even gotten field goal try.  My feelings were that I felt better about us having to score a TD than depend on Norton (even though he did make 2 long ones earlier) where I could see our O getting conservative and play for a field goal around 25 yard line and end up missing to end game.
