As I was settling into the press box at Arizona Stadium prior to UCLA’s dismantling of the Wildcats on Saturday, I couldn’t help but pull up the Florida/Tennessee game on my laptop to see what was happening.
Like many around the country, I saw the Volunteers go up 26-14 with touchdown with just a few ticks over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter and assumed the game was over. Congrats to the Vols on finally turning the corner and ending the losing streak against the Gators.
Of course, that didn’t happen.
Curiously, although there was certainly a lot of time left, I was a little confused as to why Butch Jones opted to kick the extra point to make it 27-14 instead of going for two in this scenario.
