DI State Semifinal: Springfield vs. Cincinnati Moeller

[catscatscats]

So much for the Moe blowout predictions. This has been a great game

 

[raider2bearcat]

Wildcats run out of bounds on 3rd down after Moe used all their timeouts.

Crusader ball after punt. 2:34 to play. Ball at their own 22.

 

[raider2bearcat]

Moe QB felt the pressure, ran backwards and fumbles.

Springfield TD next play.

 

[JBaller]

Why score a TD Springfield? You could have kneeled out the clock. Moeller had no timeouts. And then they went for 2 and didn’t get it! Now they’re only down 7 with 2 min+ left. Why, Springfield, why?

 

[raider2bearcat]

Moe down 19-12.

2 minutes to go.

At the Springfield 25.

 

[nwwarrior09]

I agree. Should have just taken a few knees with Moeller out of timeouts.

Springfield defense has been rock solid though in the second half. Feels like a tall task for Moeller to drive for a TD with the way this game has played out.

 

[JBaller]

Moeller on the 25 already.

Probably should’ve definitely tried to run more clock. As far as the 2 point maybe they didn’t trust the kicker after the last XP went wide.

Now on the 10

Simply kneeling would have gotten them to like 6-7 seconds on 4th down. It’s simple math.

 

[nwwarrior09]

Moeller on the goal line. Timeout Springfield.

3rd and goal.

 

[raider2bearcat]

Moe 3rd and goal from the 3.

35 seconds to go.

Kneel the game out and go to Canton, Wildcats. They score and this happens.

 

[JBaller]

4th and goal at the 2 upcoming

 

[JBaller]

Touchdown with 3 seconds left. Does Moeller go for 2?

 

[JBaller]

Touchdown with 3 seconds left. Does Moeller go for 2?

Nope. Going to be overtime.

 

[raider2bearcat]

Tie game. Moe scores with 2 seconds left on 4th down.

Shame on all the Moeller fans who left.

 

[JBaller]

All time coaching blunder by Springfield there.

 

[firehawk]

Barring a miracle on the kickoff heading to overtime.

Exactly. And why go for 2?

 

[nwwarrior09]

Exactly. And why go for 2?

Make it a two possession game. That part made sense.

If they'd made the prior extra point, they would have been kicking the PAT there to go up 9.

 

[Oil Filter]

Exactly. And why go for 2?

Because Mo is an idiot.

 

[GoEaglesCvc]

Exactly. And why go for 2?

Didn’t trust kicker. Figured 2 pt was better option

I said the same thing. Kneel the ball!!!

 

[Omar]

Douglass is a regard, . That’s unbelievably terrible

 

[PURPLE REIGN]

Not necessarily about the kicker. If you make the two-point conversion there, the game is over.

 

[firehawk]

Exactly. And why go for 2?

Agree. Even if you can’t kill it all. Moeller would’ve had maybe 20 seconds left tops. Definitely scored to early.

 

[Omar]

I said the same thing. Kneel the ball!!!

Basic f’n math. 35 secs*4 plays = 2.5 mins.

 

[Omar]

Not necessarily about the kicker. If you make the two-point conversion there, the game is over.

Or if you kneel the ball 4 times. That’s f’n shameful

 

[nwwarrior09]

Springfield three play drive resulting in a Scott TD pass to Norman. PAT good.

 

[JBaller]

Basic f’n math. 35 secs*4 plays = 2.5 mins.

Clock doesn’t run after the 4th down play, but it’s a 40 second play clock. 3 x 40 is 2:00 exactly, then you figure about 3 seconds per kneel. There was 2:15 on the clock. That leaves 6 seconds for the QB to run around on 4th down.
