We had a team in state lose with less than 2 seconds left. They had the lead 35-33 and the ball. On 4th down: The QB took a shotgun snap time ticks off horn blows QB stands there and holds up the ball to celebrate defender grabs it out of his hand and ran into the end zone.

Play should have been flagged and came back simply because of all the coaches on the field.

The QB should have taken a knee or slid to end the play. They were not in a "Victory formation"
Offensive coaches fault!
Can't hear the sound, but the play doesn't end until the whistle blows.

Senario was 4th down, less than 2 seconds. So snap the ball, pause for 2 seconds, knee, game over. QB obviously wasn't coached how to handle this situation. |

They're probably one of those teams that takes a knee out of the gun because "that's what they do"... Taking the final knee is actually better in the gun. The QB is removed from the LOS; from the possible bad scenario. If there is a bad snap, there is more time to 'recover'. The only disadvantage is if you are backed up near your goal line. Years ago we lost our starting QB in a jamboree for 8 weeks to a sprained ankle in Victory formation. Near the end of the Jambo, near the opponents goal line, with the lead. We go to end the game with the knee, LBs/NG blow through the Center and QB gets rolled up. |

Have to practice this stuff every week. It adds one minute to your Thursday mock game.
In game I would’ve also called a time out to remind them and if I didn’t have a timeout I would’ve took a delay of game and had my qb come over to remind him.
This is rough.

I've taken a TO in that situation a couple times. Other team gets pissy, but {censored} them. |

I’ve coached in that area and against the Conway coach when he was at Lamar. He’s a good guy and coach so I’m surprised how this played out.

And you call a timeout to make sure to remind the kid to burn the time and then take the knee. Then the kid gets lost in the moment and still messes up. What more can you do? I think it’s really bad. I want to say that it wouldn’t happen to a team I coach because we’ve prepared for it. But what if it does? Definitely a learning experience. I’m sure the kid is hurting about the play as well. |

Also tell your backs to tackle his ass if he does what this kid did. |

We lost to a team one year on a play where they ran sweep pass and their quarterback wheeled out of the back field after tossing it and they threw it back to him. There was .5 seconds on the clock. I wasnt the coordinator but I knew we had never worked on if the the qb comes back into the play. Ever since then we work last play defense and specifically mention the quarterback. So I have somewhat been in these shoes. Still can’t believe when this stuff happens. |

Someone posted this -- basically the exact same scenario, but back in 1981. This even has interviews with the kid who scored the winning TD and the poor QB who didn't go down. He talks a little bit about what the coaches said on the sideline. (Fateful play is at about the 10 minute mark.)

You have to coach kids that if the ball is in play the game does not end until the play ends (official's whistle) - not when a "buzzer" or "horn" goes off.
