I didn't say they would be obligated to go for the TD. They have a chance to tie it if they wish. It's as fair as the NFL overtime rules have ever been and it's not the clown show that NCAA OT is. [Reply]

I think this is wishful thinking in a way. How many times did we(fans) want to go for the throat only to see Marty,Herm,Romeo whomever curl up in a ball and play scared? Like others have stated I don't like adding the strategy of time consuming fg drive to win game if you receive. I think this will lead to more ties which suck. More play not to lose strategy. [Reply]
