if they kick the field goal before the 2 minute timeout, ou gets the ball. After ou snaps the ball, there is the 2 minute timeout. Then tenn can stop the clock two more times. Tenn would get the ball back with about 1 minute left.Onionman said:Sparkie said:Onionman said:Sparkie said:Onionman said:Sparkie said:Onionman said:
It's 2 possessions but you still need a TD. 1st and 10 from the 20 you don't kick a FG.
you kick the field goal before the 2 minute warning. That way you stop the clock 3 times with only 2 timeouts left. you wouldn't have to go for an on-sides kick that way.
No, not automatic for their kicker. Not sure why everyone assumes college kickers make everything.
your chances of kicking the field goal is higher than getting an on-sides kick which they failed doing.
You still have to factor in odds of getting a TD.
Awww....moot now
they got the td by blowing the 2 minute timeout. so, they could only stop the clock 2 times. And that forces an onsides kick. Kicking a field goal has better odds than an on-sides kick.
Wouldn't they still have 30 seconds left with what they did even with an onside kick, if they could have stopped them? And they only needed a FG to tie?
Otherwise they would have had a little over a minute but need a TD. Or is my math wrong?
By getting the td, tenn is forced to cover the onsides kick. the whole game comes down to 1 play.
