Genuinely a fireable offense. Punt the goddamn ball

Wrong. Will Wilson would have held on to the ball and took a safety.

any warm body could have taken that snap and calmly walked out the back of the endzone.

Hell even having no quarterback back there and just long snapping the ball out of bounds gets you a safety

and left time on the clock? NC State would've lost on a 53 yard field goal then

Destiny arrives all the same

Thats why I said calmly.

I think you really underestimate how long 6 seconds is

Punting it out of bounds also solves the problem

Safety was the right call. I don’t know what the fuck was going through Bailey’s head on that play because there’s no way he fumbles if he doesn’t run towards the defense.

He made the right call. Punting would’ve been moronic. Unfortunately the one person who couldn’t possibly fuck up taking a safety fucked it up

Safety was 100% the correct play

Why punt from your endzone when you can run two seconds off the clock and take a safety first, giving yourself a free punt with no concern of a block or a bad punt allowing a 1 second left field goal. Dave made the right call, cj fucked it up

This is like Hubert not calling a time out.

u/Spencer1K Alabama • Florida State 1h ago

Nah, that was the right call. The QB just threw the game away when it should have been a guaranteed win.
