wildcat2334 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Because if he booted it, everyone would have yelled, "All you had to do was fall on it and let your QB punch it in!" booted it where? no reason to fall on it - all he had to was scoop it up and walk in for a TD. just dumb IMO- got to be going for the block there and with a min on the clock looking to score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) how does that Ark kid not score there? stick a fork in the effing ball and walk into the end zone Because if he booted it, everyone would have yelled, "All you had to do was fall on it and let your QB punch it in!" Isn't a recovered blocked kick a dead ball in college? Edit: Guess not... Not sure what I was thinking of. Maybe onside kick, or failed 2-point attempt (although you can advance those in college, but not NFL, I believe).

Gopher Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Almost an epic collapse by the Buckeyes, but I do think the injuries to their secondary had something to do with that. The D-line was dominant all game. Arkansas killed themselves not only with the dropped passes, but a number of penalties that put them in 3rd and very long. Good game that ended up being far more entertaining than it looked like it would be, at the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockerbraves Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 so we get to waive the 2 losses to South Carolina, and other losses to 'less successful' teams in the 90s like UGA, UT? Side note: Feel sorry for Arkansas. Most SEC fans will not claim the Hogs as one of their own. They have been and still are considered a Big 12 team.

Gopher Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think it is a dead ball. Could be. That was my first thought, when the guy fell on it. Then I looked it up... Wikipedia says a blocked punt can be advanced by either side, as long as it does not pass the line of scrimmage. So, now, I'm second-guessing my original thought. Either way, that's a punt that you absolutely have to make sure it gets off (unblocked). Arkansas seemingly blocked it easily... complete meltdown by OSU special teams. They (and the offense, that managed 3 second-half points) were both bailed out by the defense, particularly the line. Arkansas's punter, on the other hand, literally kept them in the game, pinning the Buckeyes inside their own five at least three times (maybe more).

They lost some guys to injury that are normally on the punt team. Better team clearly won here. yeah, the Pigs dropped some balls, because of a lack of balls. Ohio State dropped 3 potential INTs, gifted them 2 easy turnovers, gave them the ball on midfield once on the surprise on-side, were pinned deep all game on offense due to the punter AND got hit by a bogus safety (technically correct but should've been blown dead) . But they kept fighting and wouldn't be deined. Great zone blitz call at the end there to fool the redneck into the INT Edited January 5, 2011 by Glabra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was blocked on the OSU side (which all punts of course are), so, from the ARK POV, it was already past the line of scrimmage, therefore it's dead. That's why no-one bothered with trying to run it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in the game was the kid for Ohio State alertly fell on the ball in the endzone early when Pryor fumbled while the not so bright Arkansas kid ell on the punt block instead of scooping it up for a game winning TD. Congrats to the WHITE team from the Big 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockerbraves Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Racist much? Just telling it like it is. You have guys like "Living the Dream" aka Sarg Ryan putting down white receivers on Stanford's team after their win over Virginia Tech and no one says anything yet when I applaud the white receiver tonight it's considered racists. Why is that? Edited January 5, 2011 by Rockerbraves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They block the punt -- which is already an outcome of low likelihood -- and the guy falls on the ball on the OSU 18-yard line with 1:04 left on the clock, giving his all-conference QB a chance to win the game. If people are actually blaming him for the loss, they're the dumbasses, not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like these high paid NFL kick returners who muff a ball that goes into the endzone and they don't even know the rules and attempt to run it out instead of taking the touchback.
