Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5299805, member: 27"] I think we tried the ‘swinging gate’ formation on the first PAT. This was something Coach P did for years. If the opposing team does not defend it correctly, the kicking team is supposed to check into a play and go for two. When Coach P ran it, they almost never went for 2. I think the while point was just to add something the opposing team had to do to prepare for playing Syracuse. Make them burn valuable practice time to ensure they did not give SU an easy 2 point conversion. You aren’t supposed to go for 2 unless you are absolutely sure you can get it. I think our players were not well coached on making the read and tried it when they shouldn’t have. And missed making it pretty badly. Very much in keeping with everything this ST coach did. I wish him and his family well in the future. Seemed like a good guy. [/QUOTE]
