On the LaTech 54 yard FG with the backup fg kicker in the game?
I say yes
Since they had timeouts I think they were trying to draw us offside for the free 1st down and were gonna call timeout and go for it anyway.
That?s speculation though
I say no, you don't not back someone up another 5 yards to get them out of field goal range. It was still fourth down.
What you do is don't allow a 1st down on 4th and 11.
For all the worries about Leach and his offense, the defense is a bigger concern to me.
I would have.
I don't think you can decline a pre-snap penalty.
You can decline any penaltyQuote:

Lol, true...but I still knew they'd convert that 4th and long. In the moment, I wanted them to kick that long FG....but I didn't know they'd send their club-footed pigmy out there to croquet the shit out of the ball, lol. It all worked out.Quote:

No way I would check the below websites, but moral of story is seems like taking the penalty would be the right decision. However each are very comparable. AND since we won it was the right decision! haha

That's what I thought but there hasn't been a lot of talk about a 'tipped' ball.Quote:

After viewing the game on TV again, it looks like Jaden Crumedy (#94) broke through the middle and tipped it
I know in baseball when you go against certain rules like intentionally waking the go ahead run it usually seems to bite you in the ass. No idea if football is the same way but to me it seems like a similar situation to a baseball guy.Quote:

I watched 5 times. I never saw anyone?s arm even near it. But I was 15 beers in at the time. Looked like the guy just hit the ground with his foot and stubbed it.
Never saw it. But yea someone had to get a finger on it.
So I was in the opposite end zone in the Scoreboard Club and couldn't tell exactly how close it got but the replays looked like it hit the bottom of the crossbar. How close was it to still being a make?
It was nowhere near the crossbar. Well shortQuote:
