Teams rarely send everyone on either FG's or extra points. Even on this ideal situation for it, Bronco asked one of the assistants (can't remember which) if he thought they'd dare fake it. He was still a little hesitant, even 18 yds out.
I bet if you did a query on end-of-game FG's, you'd find a much higher percentage of blocks than those in the middle of the game. I think it's a legit reason for the block. |

EDIT: Incidentally, he also mentioned that he kicks all FG's and extra points exactly the same, no matter the distance, thus discounting the idiotic theory that he had to kick it with a much lower trajectory because the kick was SO long. SECOND EDIT: Just noticed the kicker thread below, so I guess the kicker story isn't "news" either. Last edited by ERCougar; 09-10-2008 at 10:17 PM. |

Do YOU have anything substantive to say? ERCougar, someone generally hostile to SU, has confirmed my theory as correct. ER is knowladgeable about football. Agreed? Just because I know about a lot of stuff and have varied interests doesn't mean I don't know football.
