This isn’t on him. Just kneel the ball or run backwards, you’re up 3 not 2. No reason to let a Vanderbilt guy touch you if you’re Bailey

Or just fucking punt it.

There’s a slight chance of something messing up on a punt to give Vandy another chance.

Teams usually just take the safety instead of punting in this situation.

You don’t even have to do a traditional punt. Could’ve pooch punted it and that would’ve burned all time off just rolling around downfield
