The only way for Nacogdoches to keep the game going, and thus their chances of making the playoffs alive, is to keep the game tied so that they can try again in the next overtime series.

The only way to accomplish that is to "play poor defense" during a time where Jacksonville scores 6 points, and then the play very good defense to stop the Jacksonville 2 point attempt on the try.

Does that help?

Yes, and I'd figured it out by then. But it also helped to know that the 2 teams weren't vying for the same playoff spot.
