That poor QB...he's gotta feel like crap. The coach had to have told him "just run around for 3.7 seconds and then lay down" but the kid wasn't thinking. Geez

 

Agree; feel bad for him. That is a mistake that will gnaw at him for the rest of his life.

It should have been drawn in the play that the moment the clock expired, drop and cover up... Or in this case get out of bounds. Maybe it wasn't hammered home. Yep, he should have known, but it is the coaches job to hit home the obvious. I wonder if the coach did that (hit home the obvious). Probably not.

 

Could have been worse. How do you ask? From reading it first, I was expecting the QB watched time expire and then flung the ball in the air for celebration. Boy would that have been even more gut wrenching if you were the Spanish Fork Dons.

Jim Marshall ran the wrong way. Players made mistakes on "live ball" kick-offs. This kid is only in High School. Not sure if the coach advised him, but the coach should have been a narotic mess beating the procedure to kill time and KNEEL into his team's (and Qb's) head... Did he? It was a three point game even if he ran for the safety. The Coach: "Just keep on running through the endzone... "Don't lose that ball!" "I repeat: DO NOT LOSE THAT BALL." A good coach will continue to state the obvious!

Doubtful. If he keeps looking back to his glory days of high school football he has big issues Edited by Captain Hindsight
