I'd like to get a petition going that the first offensive play ISU runs against KSU would be taking a knee to
honor last years game.
honor last years game.
First offensive play against KSU
- Thread starter twojman
- Start date
Would still result in a fumble and turnover...
That was hotly debated, but if I remember correctly, if we just continued to take a knee we would have had to punt. I think just asking your running back to not fumble the ball for one play to run out some clock is a better idea than eventually having to punt.
we would've had to punt with a few seconds left on the clock. Instead of punting you run backwards and take a safety once the clock hits 0:00
Mike Warren breaks off an 80 yard run for a TD
IIRC, we would of had to snap the ball on 4th down with 4 seconds left. It was an easy call, except for that damn card said dont do it.
There were other viable options than handing the ball off in traffic to a freshman who'd already fumbled.
That My Friend Is the Old Drake Football Coach Jack Wallace's play that Jack would use to Ice the Game
Too bad Roads intentional misspelling...........Went from what was on a piece of paper and blew his one and only chance to Beat thee Old Master

Forgetabout Bandhauer and instead insert Sage Rosenfels....Much better quarterback imho
The Cardinals ran a play the other night that I really liked. 3 WR on far side of field. Looks like a WR screen but Fitzgerald (after chip blocking the corner) ran a slant pattern to the middle which was wide open.
Maybe so, but if you ever played football and did turnover drills, you know that it is nearly impossible to lose the ball when the objective is to just hold on to it. If you can fumble that, then you could botch a snap on a punt, or get the punt blocked, or get the punt returned for a TD just as likely if not more.
As far as running it back for a safety, I've never seen any coach try that ever. Almost all coaches will run the ball once as we did. Whatever the choice it's nearly impossible to lose in that situation. We are Iowa State so we overcome the impossible. The only time I've ever seen a fumble in that situation was that game. The only time I've ever seen a punt go wrong was last year Michigan vs Michigan State.
