Why did they call the timeout on the blocked FG?

[Harry]

Don't understand that...critical error.

Don't know. Did UNLV's blockers stop playing when the whistle blown? That might explain how we blocked it.

I'll fated attempt at icing

[Mean Green 93-98]

It's a pretty common strategy, and sometimes it works. Obviously, it didn't work out that time.

But there's no real evidence that it does work. When it works does it really work or would the kicker have missed it anyway?

Never understood icing the kicker. It just gives them a second shot. And today it took away a blocked kick.

That fad needs to go away.

[Cooley]

Didn't make sense to try to ice the kicker attempting a 53 yard fg into the wind. I don't understand why coaches do that. I also don't understand why coaches use a timeout to avoid a delay of game penalty when you are punting the ball on the opponents 40 yard line. You actually need that 5 extra yards to avoid kicking the ball in the end zone. (Which our guy kicked it in the back of the end zone)

Anyway, great win for the program!

I was sitting behind and talking with Kenny Buyers' father all game, they were really upset Kenny got robbed of one!

Snap bounced in to the holder. The hold was bad because of it and that thing was getting blocked.

Sometimes I think coaches use an old coach play book written by some old coach back in the old years that says you MUST call timeouts to ice kickers. Just stop it.

Thankfully, it didn't matter, as we whooped up on that team and their EXTREMELY creeping looking mascot.

Icing attempt that backfired...

[GrandGreen]

Not sure how anyone knows that the time out didn't cause the block. You know the team stops when they hear the whistle.
