Did Drew Barker save Coach Trosper from a lot of criticism?

I thought Conner made a big mistake by not going for two. Then after Cooper scored to go ahead they gifted Conner great field position and Barker made quick work of Coopers D to score the go ahead TD with less than two minutes to go. If the drive stalls and Cooper would have won the game I believe Coach Trosper would have taken a lot of heat (much of it privately I am sure) for not going for two.

 

Agree? Disagree?

I thought he did go for 2. Barker run left side. Not successful. Am I wrong??

Earlier in the game we had a discussion after the touchdown in the 3rd quarter I believe. They kicked it to go up six and I said they should have gone for it.

I thought it was a little early to go for 2 at that point. Went for 2 early in the first half against S Oldham the week prior and chased those points the rest of the way. Would of won at S Oldham if they just get PAT's the rest of the way after missing the first one. Coach talked about it on his weekly radio show. Hindsight 20/20. Live and learn.

Disagree because for one Barker did not make short work of the defense..............the receiver did. Barker threw about a 11 yard pass that the receiver turned into a TD by making three defenders miss.

The 2 interceptions cost them that game.
