Link: vols quit am i wrong?

[elizabama74]

at the end of the game lsu had to kick or go for the xtra points. vols go to the locker room and don't come back out, they could have blocked it or what ever but did not come back out.
Tennessee Volunteers vs. LSU Tigers - Box Score - October 02, 2010 - ESPN

the link is the final score, well i guess they could have taken a knee on the conversion.

 

[gmoney]

had to be a huge blow, but than again for the money coaches should be able to count

I think it was more of a case of being in shock than quitting.

There was no time on the clock. Lsu was not required to kick an XP. Same thing if you score a game winning rd
in overtime.

Don't know the exact rules pertaining too this situation, but they don't have to kick it anyway. They could have just snapped the ball and fell on it. But it is Les Miles, so he probably wouldn't have thought of that. hahahaha

I don't think LSU needed to go for the extra point because time had already expired. Thus, with the touchdown they win the game. I think they were all in shock though. Who wouldn't be?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if the lead after the touchdown is 2 points or less, then they have to attempt the conversion. LSU would have just taken a knee anyway. Wait, with the Hat coaching, I would have made them snap it again.

Not sure of the college rule. In high school the game is over if a TD is scored on the last play of the game and the extra point will not affect the outcome of the game or playoff qualifying. Basically in HS, if the try will not tie or win the game it is not going to be played. Also, it is VERY difficult for the defense to score in high school...they can only score on a safety.

With all that said, I am not sure what the rule is in college and the try after a TD on the last play of the game

 

[TideFan40]

Not sure of the rule either, however, in the NFL, I'm pretty sure you kick the XP no matter what....I've seen many a bet go from push to loss based on this, lol.

No. I believe that rule pertains only to overtime play. If after two consecutive overtime periods the score is still tied, then starting in the third OT period, a 2 point conversion must be attempted after a TD.
I don't think there is any such requirement during regular game play.

I have no idea. On the broadcast, I heard the PA announcer say that because the game was within 2 points (my guess is that a blocked PAT could be returned), the attempt must be made. It's really a moot point because even Les the Hat would take a knee it that situation.

More of Les's Luck that they didn't have to play the extra point. The way LSU played, they'd fumble the snap, TN would pick it up and return it for two points. Tie game and OT.

ARE YOU SURE THEY WOULD TAKE A KNEE?
Remember that Less is a master at 'Clock Management'...And Jefferson has issues with ball control...

Ha....I said that in my initial post. I would think even Les wouldn't be that dumb, but I would've brought my team back on the field to make sure.

i'd love to know what lsu's fans are saying over on tiger droppings. i just can't bring myself to trolling over and reading their garbage posts

 

[Relayer]

I don't know about them quitting, but I thought the game ended perfectly. I was actually laughing out loud.

 

[TommyMac]

Pretty sure someone (probably not Less)] on the LSU staff would have thought of the Victory Formation.

The 10RC players didn't quit, they should have never even been in that game. I think young Mister Dooley is doing a great job up there, dammit.

I think so too. They gave Oregon and Florida all they wanted for a while. They are playing over their heads. I am sure young Dooley is learning as well.

I would guess that there would only be the 1 untimed play, which would mean there would be no PAT attempt, as this would actually be 2 plays.

2. There are offsetting fouls.
3. An official sounds his whistle inadvertently or otherwise incorrectly
signals the ball dead.
b. Additional untimed downs (other than a try) will be played until a down
