That got me too. Game could have been over!
Gordan outcoached Roken for sure this time around. West must have gotten hurt,but his replacement was solid. Obrien was a difference maker for lasalle. Great contest ,rematch should be just as exciting.
3rd and goal with 8 seconds, chip shot field goal to win the game... instead of kicking it, they rolled out the QB and his pass was tipped and intercepted by a d-lineman.
Could have gone for a field goal to end it in regulation. Opted to run it and fumbled.
Oh ,and I believe I was the only one taking LaSalle . Yes I was the proverbial squirrel finding the nut.
Bone-headed call to roll out the sophomore QB towards the near sideline. I could see a straight run if they had a timeout left--and I think they did. And of course it would have made sense just to go for the game-winning field goal with a good kicker.
Was the kicker or holder injured? Otherwise I guess they saw something on film. But you gotta block!
It was a naked boot off a play action fake. So you’re depending on the DE / OLB to be fooled by the fake… there’s no one there to block. My only guess is they did see something on film that they weren’t disciplined on the backside. On that play, they were The kicker / holder / LS converted multiple FGs and XPs in OT. I’m waiting to see if he explains in an interview somewhere.
Doubt if an explanation is coming. That decision blew the game. Kick it on 3rd in case of a fumbled snap you get another shot. They’re kicking (no pun ) themselves today for that decision.
Roken is quoted (in Eastern PA Football) as saying the loss is on him. Glad he said so.
