Billy Napier explains decision not to go for two and the win late against Tennessee

One of the biggest decisions of Saturday night’s Tennessee-Florida game came late with just seconds left on the clock. Florida, fresh off of DJ Lagway’s touchdown strike to make it 17-16, appeared set to go for the two-point conversion and the win.

Florida coach Billy Napier sent out his offense, quickly motioning out his entire offensive line to form a swinging gate formation. Josh Heupel wanted no part of it and instantly called a timeout.

Napier, who was clearly only interested in running that particular play, pivoted out of the timeout and kicked the extra point to ultimately send the game to overtime.
