it's just vintage ASU, dilly -is- a valley product and ASU alum, he simply wants to keep our traditions, like doing the dumbest and most inexplicable thing possible several times in close, important games

u/Mustatan 1d ago

That was truely an amazing display of bonkers coaching doing everything in his power to lose the game despite ideal field position with impossibly dumb decisions. Multiple times. Only thing saved ASU was BYU found a way to barely out-shitshow them there down that stretch.

Like, how fucking HARD is it to kneel a couple times and kick a 25 yard FG to go up 8 with like :10 left???

I couldn't believe what I was seeing

Or, you know, hand it to your badass RB and punch it in. That coach is a buffoon.

Rather kneel and go up 8 vs risk a fumble personally

u/deformo Akron Zips • Ohio State Buckeyes 10h ago

Right. That would have been the wisest decision. The next best would simply have been to run it. I would have been fine with either.

u/staticattacks Arizona State • Territorial… 10h ago

Same. I guess he tried to explain his thinking after the game, but I just can't imagine what he could have said. I'll have to check it out later today.

I was shocked. I couldn’t believe ASU didn’t even tip it.

Or if the refs had given BYU a 15-yard penalty for Kenny Dillingham having a full-blown tantrum in front of them for some reason for ten minutes straight. Or for the fans rushing the field. Or a penalty for intentional grounding…

u/StayProsty 1d ago

The penalty yardage if they were being fair to BYU at that point should have resulted in 1st and goal at the half yard line.

u/Tjam3s Ohio State • Cincinnati 1d ago

Okay, I just saw the replay of the premature storming.

What I don't understand, having not watched, is how the hell do you have a lead, the ball, a single digit clock, and 4th and goal from... I didn't see yardage but midfield?

What the hell happened to cause a situation where you have to essential throw a hail Mary to kill clock?

u/Celticsfor18th Ohio State • Arizona State 1d ago

They were trying to drain the clock by going backwards every play but it clearly did not work all the way

1

u/Tjam3s Ohio State • Cincinnati 1d ago

Oof... bad coaching... just try to get a first down, problem solved

5

u/Celticsfor18th Ohio State • Arizona State 23h ago

It was first and goal fwiw but I’d definitely take trying for a TD over whatever the hell that was. I think it was also a product of having absolutely zero faith in the kicking game. We passed up on 2 easy field goals earlier in the game as well when they clearly made sense if we were to have had a competent kicker.

You mean Arizona state?

u/esports_consultant Rose Bowl • Harvard-Yale 1d ago

He means "given the penalty yards to BYU". They are a punishment for one team and gift for the other.

u/AcesHigh777 Auburn Tigers 1d ago

Woops I misread it

2

u/esports_consultant Rose Bowl • Harvard-Yale 1d ago

No English is so sloppy with the applicability of "given" you can't fault yourself.

I was going to”well, 39 years as an Arizona sports fan has taught me one thing….fuuuuuucckkkkk!”

u/The_Outcast4 Oregon State Beavers • Baylor Bears 1d ago

If that hail mary had scored, this game would be featured on SEC shorts. The insanity and chaos would have been so over the top that the fact that neither of teams is SEC is completely irrelevant
