Can we talk about the onside kick

It was intentional but we got the perfect bounce back. Normally it caroms off diagonally and goes down field
Kind of an accident. I think it was a squib kicked at that guy. You kind of hope that might happen, but not exactly something you expected to happen exactly the way it did.
I think it's the kind of thing kickers practice and get the green light to do. Either you miss the guy and it's a squib kick, you get a funky bounce up and down field, or it bounces off him where your team has the best shot at recovery.
The main reason it can only be used as a surprise is that if the other team is ready for it they can easily recover or let it go down field.

And obviously our punting tonight leads you to believe that we actually practice kicking??
You've seen our guys attempt field goals this year, and you think there's ANY chance he hit that guy between the numbers on purpose??
The only thing intentional was the player they chose to kick it right at.
I think it was a lucky break. We kicked with too much force for it to have been an onsides…. But I’ll sure as hell take it.
Cadillac’s punk *** deserved every bit of it. Auburn is the laughingstock of the college football right now. Leach got lucky as h3ll that he was coaching against this clown tonight.
I’m happy to have won. But, this was an abomination of a football game.
I can't believe you boys don't know your football like this I almost feel bad for pointing this out to you.
Actually I think most of college football will react the way I did when I saw the two interviews with Caddy. I felt sorry for him. He was thrown in to the deep end way over his head . He was in no way ready for what Auburn did to him. He obviously loves Auburn, and he is one of their best ever. They intentionally threw one of their greatest players under the bus. Yet ANOTHER reason to dislike Auburn.
He almost beat a team that was favored by 2 TDs on their home field.
How can you feel sorry for him??
That is exactly what i thought of when it happened.
The entire game went exactly as planned, even letting the wildcat nearly beat us again.**
No coach in existence could have been ready for that. What Caddy did was lead by example in getting his team to believe they could win the game. I'd say he did an outstanding job of that.
usually bounces like that don't go our way and usually games turning into **** shows with momentum shifting every 10 minutes don't go our way. I am actually feeling pretty good. They worked through all their brain farts and won. A lot of teams come out of bye week and lay eggs. They get to go home and that first week of practice is light trying to get them rested up. Seems like State always struggle coming out of bye going back to Mullen.
If not, they need to practice that more. It would make kicks more exciting and less ho-hum.
