QUOTE (impala454 @ Oct 7 2007, 12:12 AM) how can you say that's not enough time?? it's exactly what happened... A&M was punting to OSU with 1:57 to go and OSU had a timeout left... 1:57 - the punt (which took 17 seconds) = 1:40. 1:40 + a timeout isn't enough time for them to get into field goal range?!?? yeah i know it's possible, but you can't rely on your D to stop them as quickly as they did. OSU isn't that great... they just got lucky to be able to do so, then screwed up on the roughing the kicker. --------------------  |

um, i think i know what i'm talking about. i've talked to a few football players who agreed with that.
down by 4 with 3 minutes left, you go for a TD. unless you really trust your defense and your offense really sucks. QUOTE (impala454 @ Oct 7 2007, 08:57 PM) heh whatever... glad you're not a football coach. what would mike leach do?

Watching Fran and Gundy coach that game was like watching two special ed kids play chess with casts on both arms.

Impala is 100% correct. The smart thing to do in that situation is punt. Especially in college where the clock stops on first down.

I can't believe Heisman Watch still doesn't include Crabtree and Harrell.
I guess we need to totally annihilate aTm and kill mizzou to win the respect we deserve. -------------------- www.twitter.com/qhfxm

What Harrell is doing is unreal. 28 Touchdowns and 3 interceptions? Are you fucking kidding me? -------------------- |

Do whatever it takes to get the ball in the endzone. Run, pass, tapdance, who cares. Glad Tech's offense finally got from "gimmick" to "system" though. Huge step. Who on earth is the Heisman candidate now? Matt Ryan or something? -------------------- |

There has been talk about Harrell or Crabtree possibly making the Heisman list (would love to see it myself, both are unbelievable).
