That was disappointing seeing Mack throw away the game with 2pt try. They were stopping Clemson all game. I would have liked my odds in OT against themassuming they held them on next drive. Very bad decision IMO.
I agree with the decision, disagree with the play call.
Clemson drops from #1 this week though.

Even Dabo said he knew when NC scored they would go for 2 and I was thinking wtf? Maybe Mack was trying to seize momentum but I would have taken the 1 and go to over time
I don't blame him for going for 2. Boise did it against OU in the bowl game and no one thought that was stupid. I had more issues with the call. Slow developing play isn't going to work. Rolling right and then throwing back to a TE sneaking to the back of the end zone would have been my call.
Man even though they lost they just bought into Macks program with that game.
Uh the Boise game was a higher scoring affair, neither Clemson or NC had proven they could move the call with much ease the entire game, this the reason for the low scoring game. I would have gone for 1 myself.
It's only a bad call because it didn't work.
Had it worked, mack is on the short list for "coach of the year" .
True, my only contention with it was that it was a low scoring game so in my feeble mind the chances of sticking the ball in the end zone on 2 consecutive plays seems like the odds would be greatly against NC. That’s the only reason I thought it would be prudent to take the extra point and go into overtime with a plan and some timeouts.
Even if they got it. Clemson still gets the ball with 1:17 left to just get in field goal range to win.
This was my thought as well. I like going for two if the clock was more favorable. But if you convert the 2pt try you still have a chance to lose. If you fail the 2pt try the game is over.
