MarylandFan Intervention Needed

After the play I commented on that being disciplined to jump on it and secure it instead of trying to make something happen which so often leads to the other team knocking it back out and recovering.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

No. Secure the ball.

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

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