Yeah, I mean, I assume maybe the dispute will be actually is it prematurely, that sort of point. That put us at 19-7. I believed it offered our team our best chance to win the football game, as well as to me the bigger issue is our company certainly not at least receiving one touchdown away from those two basket chances. We possessed the sphere down inside there close. That's undoubtedly a place we're heading to need to improve on," Ferentz mentioned.The logic for seeking the two-point transformation make an effort makes good sense.
