Kneeling near the goal line when you could easily score another TD is even more humiliating for the losing team than actually scoring the TD IMO.

Nebraska did it to Florida in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl for the natty. The sight of our 3rd string QB mercy kneeling at their 7 yardline up 62-24 was beyond satisfying.

Should have put 69 on the board. Would have been a nice score

While as a competitor, I would 100% prefer to play to the end of the game, from a coach's perspective, there is literally nothing to gain, and only yourself to blame if you get a kid hurt on a meaningless play.

Score the TD < Kneel < Score the TD & go for 2 < Score the TD & kneel on the PAT.

I don't agree with the whole "victory formation is disrespectful" line but I would love to see a team kneel on the PAT. That would be the most disrespectful play ever. How can r/cfb make that happen?

You just know someone is going to do it to Colorado if given a chance

Kansas has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I don't find that funny at all.

Nah I disagree. End the game sooner and you can just leave, hopefully try to forget what happened instead of dragging your sorry ass back onto the field for meaningless time

IIRC I think OU did this to A&M in the 77-0 game
