If he stumbles it’s the dumbest play ever. If they were backed up at own end it would make sense. Not having to run 49 yards tho.With 20 seconds remaining why not run the punter to the back of the endzone and take the safety? Just burn the clock.
You want a 40ish yard dash for the punter? What could go wrong there?With 20 seconds remaining why not run the punter to the back of the endzone and take the safety? Just burn the clock.
Not to give the punter a bad rap, but in no ways would I trust him to outrun anyone on the OSU defense for 50 yards. If he gets caught on the 5....it world have been hysterical. They did the right thing.With 20 seconds remaining why not run the punter to the back of the endzone and take the safety? Just burn the clock.
It doesn't need to be the punter though, could be Mendoza or a running back. It's actually exactly what they did against Iowa IIRC.Not to give the punter a bad rap, but in no ways would I trust him to outrun anyone on the OSU defense for 50 yards. If he gets caught on the 5....it world have been hysterical. They did the right thing.
