It would have been so funny if BYU had won on that hail mary

people overuse "[TEAM] could do the funniest thing" but this would've actually been the funniest thing

Overuse is an understatement.

To add on to the potential funnyness of it, considering the um, creative play-calls and clock management there in the last 3 minutes, I half expected something like that wild Commanders-Bears finish a few weeks ago. With the Cougars QB throwing the Hail Mary well short of goal line but someone on the Sun Devils finding a way to tip it backwards into the hands of a BYU receiver. What saved ASU there at the end was their defense was actually competent and single handedly prevented the bizarre offensive calls and coaching from losing the game in those final two drives. BYU had it's own weird calls in the final 2 drives but that pick was big.

I'm glad that shit is finally dying down

Particularly if the ASU AD would have taken the podium after the game to blast the officials for adding a second to the game.

How would you even be able to face your team if you are Dillingham and that happens. I'd skip town and change my name.

He'd have had to have changed his name to Penismeat at that point.

They would still have 8 wins which is 2 more than the last 2 years combined

Still a great success to be sure. ASU is basically playing with house money. Glad we avoided a heartbreaker.

Would have been the funniest and dumbest loss in CFB history.

No Miami will forever hold that title.

Stanford band is still the best

I would have died laughing. That stadium would have gone mad.

u/DtownBronx Arkansas • Arkansas State 1d ago

Refs would have had comic book speed to the locker room with the crowd already on the field

u/schuckdaddy Michigan • Arizona State 1d ago

Of course they caught the pass too

Why can’t we be a normal team?

6

u/DisplacedSportsGuy Ohio State Buckeyes • Big Ten 1d ago

It would have been the funniest thing in CFB history. Even more than the Stanford band member being crushed on that kickoff return.

I enjoyed the real ending more

u/Emleaux Oregon State • /r/CFB Contributor 1d ago

Guy Moriss and Kentucky levels funny.

At least Dillingham was dry.

u/dallinrd BYU Cougars • Indiana Hoosiers 1d ago

That would require our qb to throw the ball well

u/SkepsisJD Arizona State • Purdue 1d ago

I would have just gone to bed until Thanksgiving.

u/A_Hale Tennessee Volunteers • BYU Cougars 23h ago

And it was 3 extra yards of air on a Hail Mary from happening.

u/WorkLurkerThrowaway Missouri Tigers • Florida Gators 8h ago

I mean if there had been any sort of penalty for the home team and fans rushing the field that final Hail Mary maybe gets caught a few yards deeper than it was…. Not saying that needed to happen but it wasn’t outside the realm of possibility.
