Yes but like I said earlier in this thread. You challenge the spot and also call a TO. Either go for it or try to draw them off sides.

okay

 

[jekelish]

I'm still just so flummoxed right now. What the hell just happened?

 

[ForCuseSake]

The punt was a poor decision made exponentially worse by that TO.

 

[JSOrange97]

Is thw crowd booing?

Yes. Everyone is out of their minds over that timeout.

Shafer must have watched Petrino against L-ville with that stupid TO call.

Actually I don't think it was stupid at all. I believe the slot receiver was uncovered. Break down in assignments. Had to use the TO.

 

[CarolinaCuse]

Embarrassing use of a timeout. That was playing out exactly how you wanted it to for a defence...until Shafer called a TO.

 

[samspann1]

Almost ran out of time. They would have scored 1:30 ago from their 45.

You're assuming that SU couldn't have gained a yard on 4th down.

Hard nosed, my ass

 

[Orangello]

I'm guessing our AD is updating the short list after today. I'll call it now. He won't make it through the rest of this season.

It's horrendous coaching either way.

The defense was clearly confused. I assumed that's why we called the TO. But good god, 15 seconds left, 3rd and 17...don't stop the freaking clock.

 

[Eric15]

We are never going to start 3-0 again for the rest of my life.

 

[anomander]

Shafer wants to know how many timeouts he has this overtime.

 

[SteveC]

18 yards in a half. omfg

 

[creatorsgam]

Yes. Everyone is out of their minds over that timeout.

And rightfully so.

 

[Orangejet]

If we lose, Shafer calls will go down as two of the worse in Cuse football history.

 

[CarolinaCuse]

I saw that...it was because the Defence was so excited about making the play that they couldn't get set in time. Embarrassing use of the TO.

 

[orangencpolice]

The offense has no faith in Wilson or Mahoney.
Our defensive backs are awful.

 

[Pearl309]

Do they know we cant punt

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Shafer is a great guy, but I don't see how anyone could defend this/him. Embarrassing.

 

[cmr27]

Somewhere, Andy Reid is smiling.

 

[orangejunkie]

It will be a miracle if SU wins this. They have no offense.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

White knuckle. It's a loser's game.

 

[jekelish]

The wind is completely gone from our sails.

 

[UelSU]

We suck.
