Why wasn't that guy down?

Why wasn't that guy down?

 

Yep. Def looked like the kid was on his knee when he scooped the ball up. Too bad the refs don't have instant replay in high school.

Here's a worse one:

The big question. Why did the coaches even send those kids back to return the short kick? You are already up, so as long as the ball crosses the LOS you win the game. The ball would have been dead when it hit the ground. You should be sending all 11 for the block.

 

This one sucked too. It was awfully close whether or not the holder had his knee down when he picked the ball up. But that is a lesson to play to the whistle.

It's pretty rare for a HS kicker to make a 45+ yard field goal. Those guys were there to protect the goal line in case of a fake or broken play. The problem was they weren't instructed to leave the ball alone.

 

I'm also not sure if it matters if that guy's knee was down, because he's the holder and he never moved from that initial position. Not sure what the rule is exactly though.

Well if you're actually worried about the fake or broken play your best bet is to just line up in your standard defensive set. Two guys at the goal line aren't going to stop a well set up fake.

I saw this on Yahoo. The first thing that game to mind was Fred Merkle, only this time, it was an entire team of Merkles.

I'm not sure what the rule is either when it comes to the holder but it looks like he is still in the holding position when he catches the ball after the block and then it looks like he gets up a bit and then kneels down again. I'd think he's down but it doesn't matter that much to me anyways.

Original video is no longer there. What was it?

[sneakypower]

really ginchy way to win a football game, though!

[Soul]

Bah, I can't find it but I remember one where the announcers were basically crying as they watched the other team run back a kick in the last seconds to beat their team.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Was it one of the state championship games in Texas from like 1990? The one team rallied back from a ridiculous deficit late to take the lead, then gave up a game winning kick return as time ran out.

That clip never ceases to amuse me, especially while they run back the last kickoff.

happens to me at least once per season on NCAA

If you listen to just after the Plano East team scores the go-ahead touchdown, the announcer pulls a Kanye.

[Soul]

That's the one. I remembered the announcers being a little more weepy - hilarious though.
