Yeah, I indicate, I assume maybe the controversy would certainly be actually is it untimely, that type of factor. That put our company at 19-7. I assumed it gave our company our ideal chance to succeed the soccer game, and to me the greater concern is our company not a minimum of receiving one goal out of those two field goal chances. Our experts had the ball down inside there close. That's definitely a place we are actually visiting need to improve," Ferentz mentioned.The logic for trying the two-point transformation make an effort makes sense.
