So if we are on the 40 yard line at the end of a half, Spencer Benton might try to blast a field goal through?

HECK YEA! I would much rather them send the FG unit out there with two seconds left than take a knee or try a hail mary. That would make a huge impact going into the locker room if he drills it from that deep too!

I don't know why, but I just thought about the FSU game last year when they were going to attempt a 55 yarder to end the game and I felt like he was going to miss it, then the commentator came on and said "this guy has one of the strongest legs in the nation" and I looked at my wife like "are you serious?!"

If he can actually get it there from 60+ yards and its a 50/50 shot.. then yes we need to utilize that if we are at mid-field with like 0:06 left. If he misses, nothing much lost, but if he makes 1 of 3, those extra 3 points would make a huge difference in some games.

Problem is.....

What if they block it and return for a TD? Then they go in the locker room with momentum

I don't think you can think that way and win consistently. It's like teeing up your ball on #1 with water on your left and thinking, I better not hook this shot. Chances are you will. Gotta think, we'll make this and take the momentum into the lockeroom.

Throw the ball!?!?

What if they intercept it and return it for a TD?

Think about it in percentages...


Aug 25, 2011, 4:40 PM [ in reply to Problem is..... ]

What is the percentage of time a kick is blocked? 5% tops? I like my chances.

Besides, what if it's intercepted and returned for a TD? What if the QB is sacked, fumbles, and it's returned for a TD? What if the RB stumbles over the Energizer bunny, fumbles, and it's returned for a TD? What if the sky falls? Whatever...you get the jist.

is it just me or does it seem like our running backs have more foot/toe injuries then anyone else in the country- combined.

It sure does seem that way! Are there any common patterns other than just being Clemson? The types of shoes that they wear or a drill they run that causes the injury? Or is it just bad luck?

'sure would like to see some stats on that!
I never remember even hearing about that before...Is it because the shoes are so much lighter weight construction?

I heard nike shoes cause a lot of problems and keep the docs busy.

Well, that's obviously exaggerated, but you may have a point that identifying root cause and eliminating it would be a good idea.
