I thought a blocked FG was a live ball???

If it goes backwards, I think it is, as the D can return it. I don't think the kicking team can pick it up unless D touches it first post bock.

If it goes forward, it's a deadball.

Could be wrong.

Not if it crosses the LOS.

If it crosses the line the defense is taught to stay away because it is only live for the defense and if the defense touches it then it becomes live for the offense. But if it is behind the line you need to get on it because it is live for both teams.

confusing i know.

Yeah, I know that. It was just odd that they didn't even wait a moment to see what happened. (I mean, in theory, a stupid defender could have touched it and made it live again.

Agree. That's why the defense is taught to just get away if it crosses the line and if that happens the refs will blow it dead pretty quick.

Every Liberty player ran the opposite direction immediately -- towards midfield and their bench area.

The rule makes sense though. If it goes beyond The line of scrimmage, then it’s just a deflected kick.

Again nothing against Coastal or Cincy this year or any year but when my team FINALLY earned something great and all anyone can do is trash them and say how these G5 teams deserved way more than Iowa State who went 8-1 in a P5 conference and has a win over arguably the hottest team outside Bama and Clemson in OU and nearly did it again in the Big 12 title game, I am going to bring my full ire against you.

At least Coastal beat a couple of teams this year. I hope Georgia does to Cincy what they did to that unbeaten Hawaii team several years ago.
 
Nearly the same situation in the raider game tonight. They kneel inside the five yard line to use clock, make the field goal to go up by two. Then give up a field goal in 20 seconds to the dolphins. If they'd scored seven, it wouldn't have even been an issue.

Take. The. Points.

Still shaking my head over the end of regulation to that game. Never know when you will see something crazy.

Then the Raiders vs. Dolphins game going on at same time was almost as nuts.
 
He was told “don’t score”.
Sure, but you don’t give up ball security to do so. That’s just dumb. It’s probably worse than when guys stick the ball out trying to score on first and goal.
On the flip side, pretty smart by CCs guys pulling him into the end zone.
 
The Sun Belt was exposed today. Credit to Coastal and Louisiana as they Did get a win, barely.
