I was the long snapper on this play for Ricks , if you noticed both guards were two to three feet away from me , I hadn`t noticed at the time , all I was thinking about was getting the snap to Hogan, if they would have been tighter I don`t think they would have gotten through so easily, but you are right we should have never had to snap the ball again. Just a side note our center was Gary Andersen , now head coach at Wisconsin. And Jason Buck who won a Super Bowl with Wash was also on this team.
I was at Ricks at the time. My brother, Tony McGeary, played 82 and 83. Why didn't the coach just let the QB take the hike and run for 4 seconds? Why risk a punt? I'm I missing something? Tony recently coached in Utah at Lone Peak and is now head coach for Provo.
I cant believe this is on RU-vid. I watched it on tv when i was in high school. I was telling someone the other day about this game and how it ended and they didnt believe me.
Dead ball foul after the play. Definitely 4th down. I was at the game because my dad was the head football coach for phx college. He has recently passed away and my family was looking at old clips of him. This win was probably the highlight of his coaching career. Rick's vs PC was always a great rivalry at least when my dad was still coaching. Hope all is well with everybody associated with this great game. WHAT A FINISH!!!
They actually called a facemask penalty on our receiver who was behind the quarterback, matched us back to the 3 yard line and told us that we needed to snap the ball
