They need to hire a coach whose only role is to say, "Watch for the fake field goal/punt" .
Thanks, I just submitted my resume. *fingers crossed*
I thought the UConn holder didn't get off the ground before he caught the ball and he should be down at that point.
That is not the rule. Holders are allowed to catch the snap with a knee on the ground and still get up and make a play. Otherwise the play is dead once any holder catches the ball, even before a kick could be made.
Anyone else notice on the replay they showed the coaches trying to get TO before the snap? It was close, but obviously didn't get the referee's attention in time.
Unlike the TO called before the onside's kick after UConn had already kicked it and SU easily recovered. The ref had no problem giving that TO and awarding UConn the rekick. Horrible crew all day long.
it's the second time in two games that there was an obvious special teams clusterf that didn't get a timeout calledHave no idea how the staff didn't see that the Husky was uncovered and not call a TO.
With that said, I also have no idea how that could have been deemed "inconclusive." It was obvious it hit the ground. Obvious to everyone except the muppet reviewing the play.
diaco has two black eyes todayWhen you forget to wear a bra, and jump around like a crazy person all day, refs tend to notice you.

A. It was not obvious that it hit the ground but it was obvious that he at least bobbled it - and also obvious that by the time he controlled it, 75% of his body was OOB.
AS far as the reciever, my educated guess is that it was a designed trick play. They snuck him on the field and he just stayed over on the far side. The holder would have snapped it either way, it was up to him to fake it, if open, or kick if covered.
Yeah, I think that is the standard way to hold for a FG.Did you notice if the holder's knee was down? A lot of people in the game thread said it was, I didn't replay it to check.
