You would think Dabo would have made sure to coach his players to make a fair catch signal on a short kickoff like that. If one of the Clemson players over there just sticks their hand in the air, the Alabama player catching it is a kick catch interference penalty since the ball never hit the ground first as with a "normal" onside kick. Clemson got burned last year when they tried the same thing and had their recovery reversed.
The thing is, nobody was expecting it at all.
Nobody was.
That's why it worked.
It was a Lester Miles pull, not a Saban pull, and it was at a point in the game that even Lester wouldn't have tried it.
That's why I'm surprised they werent ready for such a contingency when Clemson themselves have done the same move before.
Even if I pull out my dick and rub it on your truck, that doesn't mean I'm prepared for when you pull out the full cock and balls on my windshield three weeks later.
EDIT: But seriously, it looked like a normal kickoff. It was lined off like a normal kickoff. This was 'Grandpa Saban' kicking off who doesn't do trick plays unless it's to steal somebody's candy and win the approval of a potential recruit. The ball went up, went ten yards foward, toward the sideline, and down into the hands of an Alabama player. Clemson had no chance unless they were MINDFREAKS and could read the subtle facial ticks on the kickoff team's faces. The kick was perfect, it gave no chance to bounce and went exactly far enough. The players were perfect, they gave no indication of what it was and they ran as hard as they could and ended up exactly where the ball was, catching it before Clemson could react. And Clemson was just dumbfounded. With all that was happening, expecting Clemson to be so well coached that the front line of their recovery team realized what was going on during the national championship to run under the ball and signal a fair catch is just asking too much.
Dabo ran out to the refs and tried to complain about everything under the sun, but nope.
It was pitch. Fucking. Perfect.
The capital A on an Absolute Classic Football Game that will be remembered through the ages.
And again, classy game Clemson. Way to go. Way to never give up. I thought for sure we had it in the bag and you were just going to slump into the locker room, then you drove down the field and came within a recovered onside kick of winning the game.

First, I love that I got a Big XII sweep.
Second, I love that I got Oklahoma, because I miss 'em.
Third, I love that I got Kansas, because that's just sadistic. They need no hatred, they need pity.
I can live with Holgerson... well, I couldn't actually live with him, what with his smelling like the guy who rolls in from the bar at 5AM on a Wednesday morning.

Hoke's a decent to good defensive coach and a great defensive line coach. His offenses are just an abomination as his clock management. It's just especially funny he went to Oregon because his teams were SO slow to the line at Michigan. His head's going to explode.

Now let me say, as somebody who has played in a marching band for eight years, the Stanford Marching Band sucks and is bad. But their halftime performance put a serious burn on the state of Iowa itself, so it might just be okay in the long run.

I love when marching bands run on the field and their trombone player gets lit the fuck up by a player, and nobody can tackle him because the marching band is in the way.

Given that he's the only reason anyone outside of Waco knows what Baylor is, I thought they'd stop at nothing to find a way to keep him
They definitely did the right thing. Hopefully this will deter other coaches from failing to take sexual assault cases seriously.
Chalk it up to the increased media footprint, courtesy of all of the 90s greatest conspiracy hits being dug up by Trump. "Ken Starr fired for fucking up sexual assault investigation" got a lot more media than they were expecting.

The downside is that I have to sift through the other stuff currently on MTV's news page to get to any of it in the future.
