Why did Fran go for two?

[Spiderman]

In the 4th with 4:30 left in the game, up by 20...why would aTm go for 2? Was fran just trying to be a tool or what?

He was trying to save his job.

Pretty simple, Fran is a dink.

Why not? It's a way of rubbing it in Callahan's face. Just like the fake FG by Mizzou. I think it sux, but when teams get the Huskers down, they like to kick sand in their face. When you can do it at Memorial Stadium, nuff said.

I just could never imagine TO or Solich doing it....but then again, no one would have done it to them, either--not even Switzer. I just think there was too much respect given.

Karma can be a bitch though. We'll be back. Think along the lines of that Mel Gibson movie "Payback".

Fran is an idiot. That's why. He's notorious for going for 2 at the worst possible times. Just go to Texags.com and you can find NUMEROUS posts blasting Fran for his poor judgement on when to go for 2s.

Not sure if most of you were being sarcastic or not, but one point really didn't help them there, but 2 points would have put them up 21. Just a numbers game thing, we would have done it too. However, I do understand that it really wasn't necessary.

for what it's worth, there are plenty of aggies on texags that think it was a really classless and chickensh\t move by fran.

Probably in that book some coaches have that tell them when to go for 2. Wasn't that big of a deal.

Honestly, yeah. I never would have predicted the Huskers would fall this far, but all teams go through down years and at some point you're going to not be so great, run into a great team, and get wasted. When that happens, people will most likely question if the score was run up on them.
