Who else noticed this on Germie Bernard's game winning score?

Talty is 4/4 on kicks in the 30s.

Andy Pappanastos was 6/6 on kicks in the 30s in 2017 and then was 1/3 in the CFBP

He had the chipiest of chip shots to win a NC vs UGA to prevent OT

He kicked that ball towards SWC territory to the left.

Never trust a PK

Unless his name is Will Reichard.

I would imagine Talty is still very thankful Germie scored. Would probably thank Beamer too.

I was watching Talty and his body language was not good. He was mostly pacing and was stiff. You could tell he was a basket case about that kick. I said we need a touchdown bad here.

I think we would have taken a couple of shots at getting either a TD or a shorter field goal.

I agree with you on all the things that could have gone wrong, though. Really a dumb move on their part.

Our chances of winning the game would still have been very high if they had pushed him out of bounds. But the chances of a mishap were real, so playing to stop the TD would have been their best option.

This is my take too.

I think it would have been a 70/30 or 80/20 chance we shank a FG and go to OT.

They had a better chance trying to stop us than giving up a TD and hoping for a miracle KR or Hail Mary.

If he pushed him out it would have been at about the 12 yard line with over 30 seconds left. I think we would have run at least two plays and would have at least gotten the ball in the middle of the field and probably closer. It wasn’t going to be a PAT, but it wasnt going to be much over 20 yards at worst. I think we hit that. And we would have definitely had the game clock near 0.

Even so, I disagree with the strategy. As several folks have rightly pointed out, anything could happen there. Besides, there is just something about “let the other team score a touchdown” that is just antithetical.

Unless you have a big wager on the over, I guess.
