Good call, Coach Collins

with one comment

Should Tupelo coach Eric Collins have gone for the 2-point conversion in the final minutes of Friday’s game against South Panola? You darn right. The momentum was going the Golden Wave’s way. The play call was a good one. You’re playing the best team in the state, maybe the region … make them stop you.

South Panola’s strong running game would have made them the favorite in OT.

Good call, coach. And, I bet he’d do it again, and again, and again.

  1. I agree 100% but no matter what he would have done in that situation – it was a darn if you do darn if you don’t…

    If he kicks the extra point and loses in overtime he should have went for two… If he goes for two and makes it he is the most brilliant coach alive…

    I liked the call too
