The coach for the kicking team had the smarts to tell the kid to pick up the ball and run it in. Give him credit.

Not impressed with how the losing team's coach, Mr. Sawchuk, handled things. He wants to blame the officials when he didn't have his kids properly prepared to play out the game.

How was the winning team not penalized for too many men on the field?

I think it would be a sideline interference or something like that

If you want to get technical, when #87 picks up the ball his knee is on the ground....

Why would they be? I didn't see any extra red players on the field until he runs the ball in for the score. By that time the game was over

one could make the case that he was "in the process of gaining control of the ball"

and there is also some kind of "halo" rule for the holders as long as the kicker is in that "halo" but that may be only at the beginning of the play so IDK

Coach can protest all he wants, I watched that three times, and it is entirely legal, and the correct call.

I don't care either way but at :35 a player from the sideline begins to walk onto the field then jumps up and down on the field as the guy runs towards the endzone.

This happens all the time.

Correct. Think about the fake FG LSU ran a year or two ago. The holder is allowed to have his knee on the ground.

Correct. But that is for the process of the kick/trick play. This is well after the kick is blocked.

It doesn't matter to me either way and obviously means nothing. But you don't see a player go to his knee to pick up a loose ball. But I understand why his was on the ground. Just didn't know if it might actually make a difference in a later game

I would like to know why the opposing coach is whining. No whistle was blown and the kids played it out. It is his kids own dang fault

But if he never got up... not sure if that makes a difference. Besides, it's hard to tell on the replay if his knee is still on the ground. When I first watched it, I thought it was for sure, but watching it a second time it looks like he kinda bobbles it as he's standing up. Hard to tell.

No doubt, no doubt. It obviously wasn't going to effect the play.

Nice. Good coaching on one-end, bad on the other side.

Not sure. It's not like the kids knew to run it in. They were just standing around in disbelief.

Then the coaches were yelling at them to take it in. The other team just stood there. The winning team's coaches had the awareness to tell them to run.

I would think that is natural for a 16-18 year old after coming that close. It was good coaching because the coaches remembered and got them to finish the play

Could have been desperation, but do we even know if the celebrating team's coaches weren't yelling for their players to get back on the field? There's no way the celebrating players would have noticed a coach waiving his arms in panic vs excitement. xpeacex

edit.... actually if you look at the 40 second mark, it looks like their coach is pointing them back to the field.

And in further defense of the losing team... the refs took a while to signal TD.
