Wonder if they had a legit FG attempt (as it looks close, unless they converted a long play short). Tie game and near 15 yd… seems positive.

KIcker is good, but with three blocked EPs couldn't risk it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badrouter Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hard to say for sure, but, Central may not make the playoffs. Likely 2nd place in district, leaving them up to the bogus FHSAA ratings system to offer an at-large bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s major cojones in OT going for 4th and 11 vs a 28 yd FG attempt. Norland goes 2nd and says thank you very much. Would Corona Centennial go for it? or the AR team that never punts but maybe they kick (forgot which). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfaddict1 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Friday the 13th 2nd half comebacks. By now, folks are waking up shocked to see the Stanford-Colorado final score. MC had a 20-0 lead at the half 😯 https://highschool.si.com/florida/2023/10/14/norland-upsets-central-in-ot I’m still thinking MC F’d up by not trying a FG in OT. Norland starts in OT already in FG position! Makes zero sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the MC PK is weak or was injured, you basically tried a low % play to lose by the opposition having to do nothing. @MC Rockets thoughts? Norland went backwards 9 yards in OT and kicked the winning FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norland lost yards on false starts, and failed to gain yards, at least in part, because they knew they didn't need a TD to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But MC double faulted on their turn. We can agree to disagree. I am not going on 4th and 10-11 vs a 28 or so FG try, knowing that Norland can win with a FG starting at the 10. To me, that’s insanity. Sorry. Again though, I don’t know MC’s kicker status. He may be weak. That’s why I asked @MC Rockets Hopefully he can add some insight to this finish. But sheesh if 28 yards is a weakness for a team to try a FG, that’s a serious liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
