Okay…. Did anyone else think on that strip sack that Taggart looked like an o lineman? No one even close to you buddy…

What would everyone be posting if he would have tried to pick it up and booted

Blue Heart

Situational awareness. Had plenty of time to pick it up without kicking it.

His back was to the line of scrimmage. 100% correct to jump on it.

How long have you liked kicking field goals over scoring gimme TDs?

Haysom Till

I can see you enjoyed the game more than most.

Why do you keep doubling down on this? You’re wrong.

It literally takes priority over looking around in this case

If he tries to pick it up, bobbles it and UA falls back on it...I'm pretty sad.

True but those weren’t the only options.

If you think you wish that had been a scoop and score more than Taggart,

In the post game show, Kalani mentioned needing to teach Taggart to pick it up

I didn’t catch that but makes sense. We left four points on the board there. Didn’t hurt us really against AZ.

I kind of remembering his comment and I feel like he was joking

100% joking.

He did the right thing. He wasn't sure he was in the clear.

Oct 14, 9:57pm

Ya because he didn’t look to see if he was in the clear. Situational awareness. It’s what separates the goods from the

It was not next to him and you don’t stop to look around. You get on the ball.

Most important thing: secure the football.

Of course. Most important thing in the game is to score more points than the other team. I’m not knocking him, just

Haysom Till

if you give the offense the ball inside the 10, you have more than just done your job. you’ve done it better than they

I actually think he 100% did the right thing. His back was to the line.

MarylandFan

Oct 14, 10:19pm

No. Secure the ball.

Mark

Oct 14, 10:39pm

That was my first thought as well, no one around for a scoop and score!

Goosefrabba

He was already a foot or two past it, wise decision to fall on it.
