Fight or Bend the Knee?

[kso_FAN]

The hilarious part that we are obscuring with this nonsense diversion is that Iowa State very likely could've run out the clock without even risking getting tackled.

Yeah, I'm confused. So could they have knelt out the clock or would they have had to punt? Does it depend? On what?

They would have had to punt, but they could have just punted the ball out of bounds, giving K-State 1 play to go 80 or so yards.

In these situations I don't think coaches worry as much about the return as they do bad snaps or blocked punts. But as MIR said, the Michigan State/Michigan thing happens very, very rarely so its pretty dumb to worry about.

If you're Rhoads, the decision isn't critical because it determines the outcome of the game. It is critical because it determines whether or not you're giving ISU an easy excuse to fire you.

Kneel, (ksu timeout), kneel, kneel, delay of game.  ISU is punting it to Kstate with 6 seconds left.

Let's say its a crappy punt...and it goes 25 yards with only 4 seconds run off after a fair catch. That means its 1st and 10, KSU at the KSU 45 with one last heave to the endzone.


Or, you could run Warren up the gut who was last seen visibly crying after his first fumble. Good one Rhodes.

It helped that Scobey and Cartwright were men unlike that little fleeb Warren.

This ignores the fact that, had ISU punted, we would have returned it for a TD. Then we would have fumbled the snap on the XP and end up running it into the end zone for the win.

ISU was going to lose this game no matter what, it's just that Paul probably would still have his job in the second scenario.

Daniel Thomas snuffing out the Squawks with his iron will during the 2009 Dillons' is my personal favorite.
