Live by what?? When is the last time we have won a game on a gimmick play with no time on the clock? So far I count CPR is 0-1 when trying that tactic.

I was in shock when I saw that play unfold. I was still hi fiving after the touchdown. I wouldnt have called that play, I would have kicked and made nebraska beat us. That being said, I am not mad at all at the play call. I get why they did it and am fine w/ it. Like everyone says, little more umph on the pass and we are celebrating one of the biggest wins in Cyclone history.

Hey Crazy,

Was Michigan States Fake against Notre Dame a few weeks back a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE call too.....?

Just wondering.....

[aauummm]

this thread is an excellent example of what happens when an idiot posts while drunk.

Yep.

No, because they had the right personnel in the game to execute it. ISU, on the other hand did not.

So all of the other fake punts and field goals we have tried have been for the game? All of those fakes... if we don't get them we walk off the field because the game is over??? Not even remotely the same situation. That is what I just simply do not get about the people saying it was a great call. We lose if out BACKUP punter does not make a PASS into a stiff wind against the #9 team in the country.

It was a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE call. There is no way around it. You want to win. Line up the offense that has been successful all game long. Now, this does not mean that CPR is a bad coach at all, which is the way that the backers are taking all of the questioning of the call. It simply a HORRIBLE call. It makes it 10X worse that it was against NU. A win against them would have been sweet!!

Sure, a win would have been sweet. Rhoads put the pieces in the exact spot to win. The pieces did not execute.

Study the game of football and get back to us when you understand it better (see MSU vs Notre Dame as just one example). Nebraska was better equipped in the OT game. They are generally better than we are up front, deeper and their kicker is top-notch. Rhoads did the right thing.

And yes, the fakes at other times in the season were not at the end of the game. That does not mean they were just as important. In a close game, the simpleton fans can only look at the last play as the one that cost the game, ignoring the other 10-20 plays previously that impacted the game just as much, if not more.

In an OT game, there are countless plays that could have impacted the outcome either way. Get a clue.

Again, you would be on your knees for coach had this play been executed properly.

You're right. We totally would have beaten Nebraska last year without our fake punt.

[Rosenfells4Prez]

Can you please tell me how many kickers in the NCAA are consistent from 50+ yards?

Mason Crosby
Nate Kaeding
Carson Wiggs
Sebastion Janikowski
Morten Andersen
Mike Holmgren
Hayden Fox
....just to name a few

SO your saying that if that play would have worked (which it would have if it was even a half decent throw) you would still be on here ********

[ISUFan22]

You shut your mouth with that nonsense. It wasn't the last play of the game and therefore it was a good call. What a moron you are!

I don't know about Hayden Fox. Maybe Dobber?

That was a 47 yard field goal. Hardly a given chip shot. This was a PAT!! It is not easy to pass from the 2 yard line, even for a great offense. That is a terrible comparision. A guaranteed tie vs a man I hope we can rely on our kicker to simply send us into another OT.

Oh, so Kaeding quit playing in the NFL to play in the NCAA again? Pulling names over X amount of years and putting them all together is the dumbest argument you could have used.

Let me clarify. How many NCAA kickers in 2010 have only missed 1 50+ yard kicks when kicking at least 5?

Do you know the answer to your own question? I would say... probably not.
