What's the rule?

Once the kicking team touches a punt nothing bad can happen for the receiving team, because they can always take the ball where the punt was first touched. The worst theoretical thing that could happen is a holding penalty or something I guess.

So if the punting team has already touched it and you want to pick it up surrounded by 11 guys in the end zone and try to run it back go for it.

Touching your own team's punt first is a spot foul for "illegal touching." When teams down a punt, technically they're taking a penalty that's enforced at the spot they grabbed it. What this means is that if the kicking team touches the punt first, the receiving team can attempt to advance the ball afterward, and the worst thing that could happen to them (even if they later fumble) is they get the ball wherever it was illegally touched.

gently caress that game. It's the only game I've ever left early because I was just so disgusted.

Our matchup does beg the question though of what happens when a team with no secondary faces off against a team with a quarterback who throws 2 pick sixes against NIU.

I really hate that the Big 12 has a dumb championship game after the round robin because its extremely likely that OU/OSU are going to have to play twice. If we just had the Round Robin there'd be a decent chance both teams would make the playoffs

I agree the championship game is dumb, but there is no way in a million years OU and Oklahoma State would both make the playoffs.

It's Air Force, and they run the triple option like all of the service academies.

Service academies are big into option football, and if you're successful with the run why bother passing?

Also you probably just insulted a lot of Army people.

In fairness we mostly are just really injured in the secondary so I'm probably over blowing it, but we did just get blown out by Duke who is barely ahead of Baylor right now.

That said thanks to whoever suggested watching this TAMU game. As the secondary game to the Memphis one it has been incredible.

I don't think so, they've been option the whole ~10 years Calhoun's been there, and were doing it under the previous guy who'd been there forever as well.

In the old set up if OU loses a close one on the road to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma State goes undefeated you don't think theres a chance OU would go in as well? I'm not saying that would definitely happen or anything, but it's relatively plausible I think.

Calhoun's interesting, he's a former NFL OC so Air Force does things a bit differently than the other service academies, which are basically branches of Paul Johnson's coaching tree.
