Re: Best win in a long time against all odds post game thread

The play of the game was when Alex Smith ran off the field with the ball just before halftime. If he doesn't do that WFT doesn't get that kick off because the clock runs out. WFT was dead in the water at that point and getting those 3 points gave them life and hope for the second half. If they go into halftime down 14-0 they don't win.

They were lifeless before the FG and they were a different team going into the locker room. It changed everything.

At no point did I see a lifeless team out there last night.

The FG did provide some momentum going into half time, but I'm not willing to say it changed everything.

I saw on the replay that he was smiling while running off with the ball.

He wither knows the rulebook at expert level or just knew it was a trick that would work.

Hopkins likely would have missed a rushed kick, if we even got a snap off.

Genius veteran leadership play right there.

It was a no lose situation at that point in the game. 9 times out of 10 that is flagged for delay of game. While we are at hats off to Tress Ways acting as well.
