Wacka Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Nebraska tried a fake field goal yesterday. While the ball was snapped, the kicker rolled out to the right. The holder got it and flipped it over his shoulder and the kicker was supposed to grab it out of the air. The kicker was not in the correct place and it would have bounced in front of him, but the Colorado rusher grabbed it out of the air and ran for a TD!
Phlegm Alley Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 I saw the play and my girlfriend, who doesn't know anything about football, asked me "why would they do something like that? We're they trying to show off?" I thought it was kinda funny that my girlfriend recognized that it was a pretty dumb play.
CajunBillsBacker Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 LSU did it to perfection against South Carolina last season when Bo Pelini was our defensive coordinator, so that's where Bo got the idea from. Only this time it didn't work so well.
Wacka Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 The Raiders tried it today where the holder tossed it under his leg. Same result as in the Nebraska game. Only KC TD so far today.
ieatcrayonz Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 It's still a better idea than letting Lindell actually kick the thing.
