Ohio St's offense is the only offense that can consistently travel outside the conference and have success. They have speed and playmakers. Usually a good QB. The rest of Big 10 offenses are dorky as fuck. Very little speed or playmakers. Easily the most boring conference to watch.

Ohio St only scored 17 against ND.

Going for 2 there was correct. The play was terrible. 

No it wasn’t. Kick the PAT and you are still mathematically in the game only needing one possession to potentially tie it.  Miss the 2-pt and you need two more possessions.  The goal is to keep the game alive as long as possible.

Why not kick the extra point? Holy $hit is Franklin disabled?

You need a 2-pt conversion on one TD or the other.  Analytics say go for it on the first one and know for sure what you need after that.

Not enough time for it to matter here, but it's technically correct.

The play call was not.

No, the goal is to win. You are correct that the mentality you cite is why people don't go for it there. Lots of people would prefer to find out they are going to lose with no time left for some reason. They lose either way. 

By trying it after the first TD you find out whether it's successful. That is the key piece of information needed to determine your clock strategy for the end of the game.

What's Penn State's sideline signal for run the ball? What about have our QB throw a bad pass? What about run the clown formation for a 2-pt conversion we absolutely have to have?

Whatever it is, they better change it because Michigan exploited it.

Yep. Momentum is the most important thing at that point. Fuck the numbers.
