I don't understand why FSU didn't have some razzle dazzle multi-lateral Duke-esque kickoff return strategy. Dude took the kick and ran into a crowd.
This is actually a great point. I think FSU ST coach was such in shock and so was the team that they couldnt snap out of it and rally his team enough to even orchestrate something like we did against Duke 2 years ago. They thought they had us after they scored with 1min left... The coaching staff had the mentality that the game was over. So the players took on that same attitude. And when we scored..they were phucked mentally. JMO.
I think you're digging too deep. I think the simple reason is that some folks are just **** stupid. LOL I've mentioned this for as long as I can remember, but I've never understood how cats simply get tackled on plays like that. I was like a proud father watching that Arkansas game a couple of years back where dude literally just flung the ball backwards over his head not knowing who would actually get the ball, but knowing there was no way in **** he was going to be tackled WITH the ball in his hands.
If I'm the coach it's pretty simple. Listen guys, the game may end on a scoop and score, the game may end with the other team simply pouncing on the ball, but there's no way in **** this game should end with one of you getting tackled or getting knocked out of bounds with the ball in your hands.
