There was a similar call in I think the Colorado game. But four players were standing around the ball and they called all four of them for personal fouls. Pretty ridiculous. I understand if you cake the ball away or kick it in the stands or something like that but just spinning it right where it can be picked up. Seems excessive as a penalty. Time to change the rule. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I picked Colgate to cover, I want this game to be over with. That was some good foresight of our muffed punt and red zone interception! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the shanked punt leading to a 51 yard FG by Colgate. When is the last time a Zips kicker hit from 50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the last time a Zips kicker hit from 50? likely a 17 point swing in the score. Of course they probably had a few mistakes that might have offset some of it but we should have covered the spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckzip Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Heckman, Alcorn, and Graham were terrific kickers for UA back in the day. Klaus was pretty good as well. Hearing French call that game winning kick against Toledo made me think he was going to have a heart attack. What is French up to now?
