Have we discussed ad nauseum the onside kick yet?

If a couple of those bama players had tried instead of just giving up and being shell shocked, they are 35 yards away with 1 second left.
Now that wouldve been an epic choke job by clemson. Idk why you dont either (a) kick it out the back of the end zone if youve got a kicker with the leg, or (b) kick it out of bounds and put them 65 yards away.
Clemson got lucky as frick.
Unless someone comes in here and tells me that for some reason a second would tick off solely because the receiving team recovered the ball while a knee was on the ground.

You can't recover a kick without time coming off of the clock

well had bama recovered it there is no guarantee they recover it with a knee on the ground. i assume they figured it was a safe kick to prevent a return and at least one second would run off. really no issue with it.

yes a second would have run off

Well, it worked.
I just wondered if there is any rule about half the team getting out in front of the ball giving the kicker a free chance to fall on the ball. Nonetheless, props to a perfectly executed kick by the kicker with a perfect roll to 11 yards.

Down by 4. Who the hell is going to get the ball 35 yards down field for a TD?

Dude, that was a brilliant call. If Bama recovers, they aren't thinking "Just fall on it." As such, the second runs off and they have basically zero chance of return. Did you see how many Clemson players were around the ball?

More to the point, that last touchdown. The QB wasted a couple of seconds rolling out, and the receiver caught the ball in the field of play. If he's tackled short of the goal line, or maybe even if it's incomplete, game over. Like the Demetrius Byrd catch vs Auburn, it worked, but it was a needless gamble. If you were dead set on running another play, it should have been a quick slant.

No they wouldn't have been. They would have been at the 44-46 yard line after the ball rolled 9-11 yards. There is absolutely no guarantee that Bama would have scored a touchdown from there to win.
Basically your post sucks and you are dumb as frick.

I think the real risk was if the ball took a funny bounce and hit one of the Clemson players before it went 10 yards. Maybe a rules expert can come in, but at that point wouldn't it have been an "illegal touch" and given Bama the ball with one second left?
Regardless, it was executed well by Clemson
