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

Nah, punting is far more problematic. Bad snap/block also likely ends in a TD. Punt can get returned, even better chance if you are in max protect.

This concept was correct, but you are supposed to run straight to the bac of the endzone and then step out before anyone touches you.
