The Atlanta Braves

[Notorious B.E.N]

WKU got the ball to the 40 with :03 left and decided 57 yards was too far to kick it so they left the offense on the field for a Hail Mary. There was some confusion and a short delay about when the ball was ready for play and when they started the play clock over, Helton ran his FG unit onto the field, waited a few seconds for Western Michigan to start substituting and immediately ran his offense back out. There were guys everywhere running on and off the field and they threw the Hail Mary and it looked like it was going to OT until they reviewed the play and flagged the defense for illegal participation. That moved it to the 35 and the WKU kicker drilled it from 52 yards to win.

Wow

If the O subs, shouldn’t they have held the snap until the D was finished subbing (and in theory, have 11 players on the field)

You would think so, isn't that why the ref usually stands on the ball for so long?

Kick would have been good from 62.

I’ve never seen a team do a better job of shooting themselves in the foot as Louisville is doing

Yes... but it wasn’t a matter of EMU substituting. They ran 12 guys out there and were set in the formation well before the snap.

Holy catch

David Johnson probably going to FSU

Little surprised if he leaves laterally

Fo real?

Norvell connection?

 

[TBrown]

Norvell connection?

Yes, he worked for him at Memphis.

 

[BigOrange15]

Yes, he worked for him at Memphis.

Right, I was saying is that why he would take essentially a lateral move? To work with a buddy?

 

[sport3500]

Henry Aaron and Phil Niekro and Dale Murphy belong on that list from the 70's and 80's.

 

[LotteryPick]

Fo real?

Apparently after our bowl game

Doubtful. He owns Memphis.

 

[Florida Stanley]

Doubtful. He owns Memphis.

I had heard it months ago, no idea if true or not.

Afaik, people were poo pooing his recruiting prowess until he landed like 7 dudes from Memphis.

Ha yup. Would hate to see him go.

Seems like they’re wanting a better fit at QB coach than Weinke too.
