Just a few short years ago the fans would have been running onto the field in a state of euphoria as OSU walks off a great top 10 matchup. It's pandemonium....but nahhhh.

We as fans in bars, parties, our living rooms and at the stadium were forced to just sit there for 7 or 8 minutes while the officials dissected every frame of the final play like it was footage of the Kennedy assassination. And as ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS(see Jets Pats today) there is miraculously 1 second on the clock.

Now they have to kick the XP. Unimaginable that Ryan Day the head coach of a top NCAA program in the country DOES NOT KNOW THE RULES!!! Should have kneeled because kicking it has nothing to gain and everything to lose. If it is blocked and returned they could lose the game! With 1 sec left and your team kicking off there is no difference from being up 2 or 3.

So now all the OSU fans are more stressed about that scenario, except for OSU bettors. After more commercials they come back for the kickoff. ND attempts a crazy lateral play that fails and the game is finally over. But by that time the whole experience of that all time great game was ruined. As OSU fans we weren't excited and joyful like we were when OSU scored on the "final play" We were just aggravated people saying"Can you believe what these fn refs put us through" By the time the clock got to 0:00 there was no joy left, just aggravation and relief.

Crap like this is killing the game of football.

Literally no one was stressed that the XP was going to be blocked and then returned for points. That's the dumbest shit I've heard in awhile.

So if the Chiefs were in the same situation in the SB up 2 with 1 sec left you think the optimal play is to kick the XP instead of kneel? Explain please.

Yes, because the clock doesn’t run on an extra point. So no matter what happens the Chiefs would be kicking off to said team.

If Reid takes a knee to take away the chance of a block and return for 2 points that’s still a tie game.

If we hit the extra point going up by 3 the worst that can happen on a return/flag/field goal is now a tie instead of the other team winning by 1 because you took a knee on that extra point.

What’s higher odds?

1). Blocked extra point and returned by the defense for two points.

OR

2). Kickoff return that has a flag attached to the end of the return to give the other team a long field goal chance?

It's dumb you think it was wise to kick it.
