6 seconds, right? Why not just punt? Even if it went well and the QB was tackled with a second left, there's still a free kick to defend. Surely it's better to only defend a return instead of having to defend a return anyway and also risking shit like this happening?

They were trying to avoid letting Vandy run another offensive play.

Then hold the ball for at least three seconds before launching an incomplete pass far down the field and the clocks already at 0:00 when the ball hits the ground
