I watched that live, and my first comment afterwards was “if the poor kicker misses that kick, that pissing idiot will have to dig himself a tunnel out of the stadium to escape!” ….and sure enough…..missed it! (and lost the damn game!)
I’ll NEVER understand how soooo many players drop the ball before they get in the end zone. Gotta be the dumbest move in sports, & it’s happened A LOT.
Your right! This happens many times every year. It's a complete lack of concentration on scoring the touchdown, and a 100% concentration on how they are going to celebrate. So they start the celebration before the touchdown.
@@HumbertoYi0878 It's learned behaviour. Look at "successful" people in the world, the biggest part is not their performance but how they market their performance. In other words, their celebration. Musk can lose billions of dollars, but as long as he claims to win, his fans will stick with him. Trump loses an election, but by claiming he's won it, his bootlickers follow him blindly. Our entire world - and it starts with the boomer generation - is teaching kids these days: a) it's more important how it looks than how it is, b) performance doesn't matter, as long as people like it and c) if you get caught lying, just keep on lying no matter what.
I think these top athletes have an ability to "see" into the future a second or so. Not literally of course but they have a certain kind of vision to predict where things will be. And this goes wrong when their brain assumes they are already well into the end zone when they haven't yet reached it
@@AndrewIsbell I get what you're saying. I also can't imagine what it's like to score on such a high level, but I'd assume that it's very difficult to think rationally at that moment. There's a lot of instances of early celebration failures in different sports and I'd like to hear from the athletes on how they felt about it.
@@AndrewIsbell I was never on this level, but I wrestled for a long time. I knew when I had a kid beat and would sometimes let my guard down before the ref would call it. That was at like year 5 or so of wrestling, so I was just starting to get good. I think with every sport you get good enough in there's a period of learning good habits while winning. Plus these dudes definitely get tunnel vision when the goal is in sight and nobody's there to stop them, and adrenaline probably keeps them from realizing.

Coaches should be coaching players not to let go of that ball until they've looked at the ref and seen those arms raised. Your celebration can wait two seconds.

They be thinking..."Okay, I got this...touch down coming. Imma get rid of the ball, so I can do my victory dance that I've been practicing on all year. Here goes......no wait...what?"
Even as a neutral fan, that is one of the most unreal endings ever. 57 yards, same distance as the missed Alabama field goal that Auburn's Chris Davis ran back for a touchdown seven years earlier, _in a dense fog._
As a coach for going on 9 years I have a couple rules 1. After a td you hand the ball to the ref 2. You celebrate with your team mates on the sideline after the extra point. If you break either of those 2 you are off my team Yes I have kicked 3 kids off in my tenure for it
@@soap5049 2 championships in our league and am at plus .650 all time More importantly my kids love playing for me and are great young men in the community We volunteer at a food pantry every season once or twice and wear the team jersey with pride I’ve have a had few fall off the path but some have gone on to do great things…. I would ask how many you have won but I don’t care It’s about structure and overcoming any situation or learning from it More than just “W’s”
I was there for the Clemson vs SC State game. I remember thinking to my self, “That’s weird… I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone just toss the ball to the ref before.” Then Clemson immediately jumps on for a touchdown. In case your wondering, I’m pretty sure this was the game where they went 12 minute quarters with no stopping the clock on the second half.
9:44 Full props to the officials on this one. Think about it, if they would have whistled it dead in error they can't rescind it. But they let the play run out, and they knew what was going on -- note the official running with the Ducks at the end there, watching. That said ... honestly, I'm not a player but I'd think if I ever had the chance to run for a touchdown I wouldn't let go of the ball until the officials told me to. Twice.
I was chatting on that game thread on Reddit in real time when that happened and the amount of hilarious memes and jokes people were already making while simultaneously watching Florida fans blowing a gasket over that was just so much fun. It's why I will always love college football over the NFL.

I love the way the dude that pretended to pee like a dog had a title belt in a normal game.. I just wish there was footage of him getting rid of that belt when he sees the missed field goal.

why are so many players showboating and turn out to be stupid enough to drop the ball on the one yard line? this seems to happen much more often than i thought.
I will never understand dropping the ball BEFORE getting in the end zone. Hold on to it and make sure you get in. Would bench any player that does that nonsense
Can someone explain the Penn State vs Indiana play to me please? @ 08:56 Edit: Oh, wait is it the fact that he could have went down and then run the clock out? that makes sense. Since he made the TD, it will give Indiana a chance to score.
Yes exactly what you said is true, Indiana only had 1 timeout left, so if you get the first and go down they have to burn the timeout. Then you just take a knee which burns about 40 seconds each knee and takes off about 120 seconds. Then kick the field goal. Would’ve left Indiana with about 20 seconds and no timeouts and since you go up by 4 they have to get on the touchdown to win. Gurleys td gave them a minute 40 to go down the field and score with a 2pt conversion to tie
@@taquaywhite4503 That wasnt the todd gurley play just FYI since you mentioned gurley. I do also think in that case on 1st down he may have been advantagous to go down like 1 yard shy of the 1st down marker even since it burns the timeout and then a 1st down on 2nd or 3rd and 1 could win you the game without even having to give it back.
The QB at 5:45 looks like he just closes his eyes and chucks the ball as hard as he can, horrific throw, no one there. Then again, compared to some of these other plays, he looks somewhat decent.
Why players drop the ball as they cross the goal line is beyond me. More times than not they mistime it and it becomes a fumble. It’s the dumbest move they can make. Pure showboating and if I were coach they would sit out the next game.
That's kind of the thing about gadget plays, though - when they work, they *really* work, and when they don't work, it's disastrous (at least for the team of the player tying to pull it off).
I'm British and know nothing about American Football, I keep being recommended these xD IDK what's happening in most of the videos, but it seems like some players are too cocky for their own good?
What's going on with the Penn State clip at 8:44? Was the intent to run down the clock or something and he accidently gave them an opportunity to score?
If you're talking the Penn State vs Indiana, then yes. Penn State is up by 1 point and Indiana only has 1 time out with 1:40 left. If he just waits to go down at the like 1 or 2 yard line they drain time left and the 1 time out isn't going to be enough to get them a turnover on downs Penn State could just let the clock drain. By getting the field goal they're now up 8 (if they get the field goal) but Indiana has the ball and a chance (though slight) of getting a touchdown into 2 point conversion to tie.
I don't get the dropping of the ball before crossing into the end zone. First you make sure you break the plane of the end zone, carrying the ball across, and whatever you do after that doesn't matter. So many athletes celebrate their sure win right before they cross the line and lose the point / race right there because the person coming behind them wasn't thinking of celebrating they were busy actually winning the thing. 'The trophies are handed out at the finish line' but first you have to cross the line.
These young players are so full of themselves that mistakes come second nature. As Joe Rogan would say, "their prefrontal cortex isn't even fully developed yet" 😂
@@cryo9216 a touchback doesn't get you any points. You take possession at the 20 or 25 yardline, depending on the level you're playing at. Two points comes from a safety. That occurs at the other end zone. The defense has to tackle an offensive player in possession of the ball while in their own end zone or the offensive player with the ball runs out of bounds within their own end zone, either on their own or being forced by the defense. A fumble or snap that goes out of bounds within the offense's end zone also counts as a safety as do offensive penalties that occur within their own end zone, most commonly intentional grounding.
I don't understand how some players could be so ridiculous and foolish to drop the ball before breaking the line. If I was the coach I would tell them to not drop the ball until they run out the back of the endzone if they're going to be that more onic
Run much more time off the clock. It was the end of the game and they were ahead with the ball. It was first and 10. If he goes down before the first down line then you could win with converting the first down since Indiana would burn last timeout and you have 2 more plays(2nd and 3rd down) to run clock down and try and convert the 1st which would end the game if converted a few downs later then a few kneel downs. Even if he goes down after the first down marker you still burn their timeout and have 3 running plays to chew the clock further down so even if you do give the ball back its with no timeout and much less time.
I'm definitely not a Clemson fan but at 3:13 the quarterback's knee hits the ground before he tosses the ball. Should have been dead ball at that spot, terrible call refs.
Actually technically the ruling of the Justin Blackmon fumble was incorrect. That should have been ruled out of bounds and Ok St ball. Yes he fumbled. But before it touched down out of bounds he downed it by being out and touching it. If he didn’t down it then yes touchback would have been correct. Interesting play.
They were already winning so in that situation it'd be better to maintain posession as long as possible to run down the clock, giving the other team as little time as possible to score.
I realize I’m just opening myself up for problems here, but would somebody please please please explain to me why dropping the ball as close to the goal line as you can is considered cool???
That 'Unsportsmanlike conduct' foul on 8-Moore is what caused Ole Miss to lose that game against Miss-St & I would have taken that NWO belt away from him if I was the Ole Miss head coach and benched him for the next game
7:52 I don’t understand why players do this!!!! It infuriates me! Hold the damn ball thru the end zone. To damn worried about celebrating. It’s infuriating especially when the pros do it.
