What's this?

At the end of the day the modern game is about scoring points. We are 84th

in scoring points. The only "good" teams that are 80th or worst in scoring are Penn State (81st), and Clemson (118th). They both are 5-3, so they are arguably not that good, but at least they are considered to be generally good teams.

Except it would no longer be a standard extra point after the penalty. -- AbsolutVT03 11/05/2021 12:49PM

This is incorrect -- Hokie In MD 11/05/2021 09:58AM
