It’s called a “Hail Mary” because you throw it up and pray someone catches it 😂
They’re so exciting 😅
In College Football, there are a total of 131 teams in FBS (which is top tier) and 128 teams in FCS (one tier below). All with their own traditions and loyal fan bases.
Thanks ABC - Really puts it into context when you realise how many teams there are. I still sometimes forget just how big America is
Yes. I wish the lesser-known schools got more video highlights.
@@DNReacts @DN Reacts Not to mention another 169 teams in Division 2. While Division 3 has 242 teams and lastly their are 96 teams in NAIA Division. For a grand total of 766 teams in all of College Football. Also, we have more than 16,000 High School Football teams with over one million players. Finally, here in the US, High School Football is played on Friday, College Football on Saturdays and the NFL on Sundays.
@@joshntn37111 Well, now you've got the NFL & NCAA D1 playing multiple nights due to the wild amount of $ being thrown at them by the TV networks, but it's traditionally how it's been the way you described it.
In football in general, pro and college, the clock keeps going unless something like a penalty, time out, incomplete pass, or such stops it. If the play ends inbounds and none of those things happen, the clock usually keeps ticking. This is what makes timeouts and clock management so important for a coach and team to master.
In college the clock stops every 1st down
@@shaolinshefgaming400 only for a few seconds. Once the sticks are set, it starts back up.
@@AM-cs2vz well yeah but an offense can be set before the ball is set and clock starts that's why they'll use their timeouts earlier than pros, they also do this because they don't have a 2 minute warning
That particular replay was notable for gross incompetence by the coaching staff of LSU (white, yellow, purple). On 2nd and Goal from the 2 with 32 secs left, a team should get 3 plays easily and should score 85% of the time. They got ONE. They got tackled in bounds, so the clock runs and they didn't know what to do. The initial 2nd down play came with the clock stopped, so they should have had the 3rd and 4th down plays called beforehand and only change them if the clock stops. Even if they didn't have plays called, they had enough time (23 secs) to just run straight up the middle two more times, which would probably work. Inexcusable.
7:02 Field goals are very difficult to block. You could follow a team for an entire season and not see any blocked field goals from either that team or their opponents. It extremely rare event, which makes it all the more exciting when it does happen.
Thank you for the comment! Yeah I saw in another comment only 1.3% of field kicks are blocked, I had no idea that it would be that low.
In the NFL you might see about 1 per year.
@@davidmacy411 And you can forget about ever pulling one off in madden
@@copaxan Lol you are right about that. I played Madden in an unbroken string from about 95 to 14, and there is a possibility its only happened once through all those games.
@@DNReacts The angle a potential blocker has to take and the amount of time it takes to get to the kicker make it very hard. Most blocked kicks are because of busted blocking assignments in the interior or freakishly athletic defensive linemen timing a perfect vertical jump.
The clock rules are complicated. Out of bounds stops the clock. Incomplete forward pass stops the clock. Time out stops the clock (each team 3 time outs per half). First downs temporarily stop the clock while they move the measurement chains to a new first down position. Plays tackled inbounds that don’t achieve a first down and the clock runs until the next play.
Thank you Derek!
Also important to pay attention to while watching big moments in college football is team rankings! The number to the left of a team's name indicates their national rank. Only the top 25 teams are ranked.
With that being said, some of the biggest moments in college football history are huge upsets with unranked teams beating out top-ranked teams. Hopefully rankings help clarify the importance of some of the clips!
i was just about to post the same thing. Those numbers (and lack thereof) are contextually important.
Adding to this comment, upsets in general are celebrated in American sports. Like GoodbyMoonman says, a ranked team getting beaten by an unranked team usually headlines the sports news wires, and American sports history's greatest moments are littered with underdog stories.
The block field goal by Cody of Alabama (6:55) was his second block field goal of the game. Field goal blocks are extremely rare, most teams don’t get one in a season.
3:00 Those perplexed looks move me to explain. :) You'll notice next to the score the banner says "FINAL/2 OT." That means the game is in a second overtime. In overtime, each team attempts to score from the opponent's 25-yard line. If the scores are still equal after both sides make an attempt, another round is played. So, in this game, Texas A&M was up seven points because it had scored a touchdown and one-point conversion on its turn. Then they intercepted the ball when Tennessee was attempting to score on their turn. Game over. :)
Some big rivalries for you all to know about moving fwd that add a lot of context to these clips. Alabama (red and white with numbers on the helmets) are massive rivals with Auburn called the Iron Bowl(Orange and blue with AU on the helmet) and Tennessee (Orange and white, big T on the helmet). Tennessee has massive rivalries with Florida(Orange and blue with an alligator on the helmet) as well. Auburn has a rivalry called "Deep Souths Oldest Rivalry" with Georgia (Red, Silver, Black with G's on the helmet). Georgia and Florida have a rivalry called "The worlds largest outdoor cocktail party". Michigan (Blue and Yellow) and Ohio State(Red, Silver) dont like each other from a state perspective (see the battle of Toledo). Everyone hates Notre Dame(Gold helmets). and so on. It gets complicated but a lot of these rivalry games have been played since the late 1800's so there are a lot of .... feelings.. around them.
Thanks for the info Cole!
Add the Oklahoma Sooners v. Texas Longhorns "Red River Showdown" every October at the Texas State Fair in Dallas.
@@seanmonetathchi1060 not only the game was a rivalry but the entire weekend was a big party weekend for both sides because everybody from both schools had to travel there. I'm from Dallas, and we call it Texas-OU Weekend here. I heard stories about the wild crowds in the 60's, 70's & 80's that would take over downtown Dallas on the Friday before the game and completely fill the main streets walking down them and taunting each other. The police would have to close off the streets to traffic and try to keep the two sides apart. There was always some arrests that night, and some of them may have been locals joining in. There is a famous story about a group of fans throwing a couch out of the window of the old Baker Hotel, which is no longer there. I don't know which side did that. And don't even try to rent a hotel room in Dallas during that weekend because they'd all be booked and all the nicer restaurants would have really long wait times. It's calmed down a lot since then, and the parade of people no longer happens on the downtown streets. When I worked in downtown Dallas the company would use that as a reason to shut down early, so we get out of downtown before all the craziness started.
Confirmed. The Game, the biggest rivalry in CFB, is OSU vs UM. And Michigan isn't inhabited by people, just soulless skinbags shaped liked humans.
Red River showdown is easily one of the best as well, I’m biased as a Sooners fan but I think it’s the best feeling rivalry in College football
Part of what makes a lot of these plays "miracles" are the rivalries that have been going on for decades. Sure they might not ALL be insane brain melting plays filled with maximum athleticism or luck, but its really about those last second plays or game altering plays of a really intense game with wildly crazed competing fanbases that have immense passion for the sport and their team. Just something to keep in mind if you see one of these plays and cant quite see whats so great about it when compared to other compilations that are full of some of the best plays in history, a lot of it just comes with knowing the rivalries because it adds so much significance to the plays outside of just the skill being put on display
The UCLA-Texas A&M one needs some extra context: that was the final score coming back from a 34-point deficit (second-largest comeback in top-division college football history). A&M led 44-10 late in the 3rd quarter.
The Florida State kickoff return (around 4:30) gave FSU the lead in the national title game with about 4 minutes left; the very next clip is from the same game after Auburn scored to retake the lead with a little over a minute left.
Since overtime came up several times in the video, a brief explanation of college OT rules (as of the mid-2010s, when most of these clips were):
One team gets the ball 25 yards out, and continues until they score or lose possession. Then the other team gets it from the same spot. Clock is irrelevant. If the scores are not equal after that, the game ends. If they are, play another round (but with the order reversed). Starting in the 3rd OT, if you score a touchdown, you cannot kick the extra point; you must attempt a 2-point conversion instead.
After a couple of marathon games (notably an LSU-Texas A&M game which went 7OT), the rules were tweaked a little to speed up long OT games: as of now, the no-kicked-PAT rule applies in the 2nd OT, and starting with the third, instead of a full possession, each team merely attempts a 2-point conversion (one play from 3 yards out).
Thank you Dan, great information in here, appreciate the extra context too. Also, we’ll have to give that game a search as that’s crazy, 44-10 with basically one quarter remaining!
I was there at the Rose Bowl for that game against Texas A&M. My Bruins damn near made me faint!
That LSU-Texas A&M game was amazing. I (LSU) fan was watching the game at a bar, and looked like LSU was going to lose late in the fourth, so ended up leaving. But I listened to the ending on the radio and when they managed to send it to overtime, I stopped at another bar to watch OT. Ended up there for over 2 hours, until LSU finally lost in the 7th OT.
@@DNReacts That FSU vs Auburn 2014 title game is one of the best championships i've seen. May want to add it to the list
@@DNReacts In that 7 OT game you actually had to start from the 35-yard line & had 4 downs to get either a TD or FG. This is why in close games many went to multiple OTs because it was so hard to score. Then came the 'start from the 25-yard line' rule w/ normal offensive flow in play, then the 'from the 3rd OT on its just 1 play to get 2 pts' rule. It's still no guarantee you'll get games ending quicker. It took 9 overtimes for Illinois 2 beat Penn State 20-18 on Oct. 23, 2021. Put THAT 1 on your watch list.
College overtime is crazy. There are no ties in college football
1st OT:
Coin flip determines possession.
Each team will have one possession, starting at the opponent’s 25 yard line (25 yards to the end zone).
Whoever has the most points at the end of each possession wins.
If both teams score the same amount, they go to 2nd OT
2nd OT:
Same rules apply, but the order of possession is swapped.
*3rd OT and following: Each team alternates 2 point conversion plays.
This could go on in perpetuity if each ends with the same outcome.
*prior to 2021, after the 3rd OT, teams still alternated possessions at the 25 yard line, but if you scored a touchdown , you were required to attempt a 2 point conversion rather than kicking an extra point.
Thanks Drew, this is great information! Sounds crazy, I like it!
You absolutely have to react to Tennessee (the real UT) vs Alabama last year. Game for the ages. Tennessee is a blue blood in college football but hasn’t been in the discussion or worth talking about for years and years. Have a decade plus losing streak over Alabama which is easy to do when you play the best team in football every year, but it was an incredible game and incredible post game. Tennessee even in losing season would have sellouts of 100,000+ so you can imagine how they are when they are a good program. Cheers from Tennessee lads.
We’ve recorded that! It’s coming next week! Epic game that was!
The clock only stops on an:
1. incomplete pass
2. player taking the ball out of bounds
3. A score
4. a change of possession
5. a timeout
6. end of quarter
7. injury
8. if the officials are reviewing a play or measure a potential first down.
9. Maybe something I missing
Teams will spike the ball to stop the clock, which counts as an incomplete pass. It’s spending a down on stopping the clock. This is only done at the end of half or end of game with time running out.
Thank you for the comment! This is really useful to know and seeing it listed hopefully will make it easier for me to remember!
@@DNReacts oh yeah… that’s NFL rules by the way. College also stops the clock temporarily on all first downs until the ref places the ball, then clock resumes. NFL it stays running on a first down.
On the play at 1:24 You were right, they were in a field goal kicking formation, in order to get the other team in a kick defense, Then they ran a passing play putting the players on defense in a bad position and causing them to have to adjust on the fly.
Thank you the comment and explaining 👍
Devin Hester- returns whatever you kick in his direction…..he’s got a few end to end 100 plus yard returns on his highlight reel. Check that…he was amazing ! 🔥
You're right. As a Detroit fan I was always scared he was going to break one😂 One of the best ever on returns!
@@patricksvec8957 isn’t this thread/ convo great? Here we all are sharing,discussing…….
By now you’ve read that college overtime can last forever, as long as each team matches the other teams score in each overtime period.
In 2018, LSU and Texas A&M went to 7 overtimes. I’m pretty sure it’s the 2nd highest combined score in a college football game, ever.
NOTE: NFL Overtime does not work like this. The NFL has some of the stupidest overtime rules of all professional sports. 10 minutes are thrown on the clock. They flip a coin for first possession of the ball and whoever scores first wins the game. Ta-da!
the arkansas kick return against tennessee (5:50) is my favorite play in football history. absolutely insane
Me too and the call also man
For that final clip they were showing the score at HALFTIME.
TCU was down 31-0 and then came all the back in the second half.
So they still played an entire 2nd half... and then OT.
In college overtime: each team gets a possession at their opponents 25 yard line.
So if Oregon scores a field goal... then TCU has one possession (4 downs) to either tie, win or lose.
This continues back and forth until one team wins.
So each back and forth considered 1 OVERTIME period.
There is NO TIME LIMIT.
Hopefully that helped explained it....
Go Gators!
Go TCU
There are 2 clocks in football. The play clock & game clock & all sorts of interesting ways to use them. Some strategies are rarely used but should be. Don't let the 2 clocks fool you. The play clock (25 or 40 seconds for both NFL & college) only times when the officials set the ball to prevent delay of the game and has nothing to do with the game clock. The game clock is always 60 minutes & the two terms are confusingly used interchangeably sometimes. Don't ask me why a play clock is sometimes called the game clock by many people. The difference is clear to me. A game clock times the game. A play clock times between plays. Game clocks are stopped for out of bounds, incomplete pass, etc for the Pros. But not so for college until they reach the last two minutes of the half or the game will they stop the game clock for the same reasons. Confusing, huh? I think it was done that way to speed up college games.
Makes sense now, thank you!
You guys should react to Appalachian State vs Michigan 2007. This is one of the greatest upsets in College football history. App State was at the time in a lower division and they ended up defeating Michigan at the Big House (Michigan's Home Field). This is the equivalent of an EFL Championship top 1 ranked team beating a Premier League top ranked team. There are also videos of Ohio State and Penn State fans watching App State beat Michigan and celebrating Michigan's defeat. "2007: Appalachian State v. Michigan (Drive-Thru) is a good highlight video of the game.
Thank you! We will check that out!
Hell yeah!
"Appalachian State players reflect on upset of Michigan Wolverines at ‘The Big House’ | ESPN Archives" is a great video to check out too!
Plus they didn't show the 2015 game when the Michigan punter mishandled the snap and handed the game to Michigan State, plus the surrender cobra reaction.
App state is our local college. That game happened when I was a senior in HS. The whole town was nuts for months.
I love college football so much! It’s such a beautiful thing. Of course, this guy has only shown my team losing in both videos, but that’s ok. 😂 I still love watching these miracle plays. By the way, kickoff return touchdowns happen more than you would think, but they’re always exciting to see.
I don’t think I’ve seen a video that wasn’t fantastic yet. It’s so easy to get caught up in the moment 😀
@@DNReacts the excitement is pretty infectious 😊
2:32 Sharp-eye! You saw that block! A textbook example of the offensive backfield. If you watch compilations of long yardage running plays it can be just as absorbing to watch the blocking that makes such plays possible.
That Arkansas Tennessee punt return is my one of my favorite plays and the call as well.
16:50 in college overtime is untimed (the period is untimed, but there's still a play clock). Each team gets a possesion from the 25 yard line (no kickoff). if the team who gets possesion first only scores a field goal, the other team can win it with a touchdown. If the score is still tied, they keep going back and forth (they alternate which team starts on offenese every OT period, so if you went first in the 1st OT, you'll go 2nd in the next, and 1st in the after that, etc.) From the 2nd OT on they start forcing each team to go for a 2pt conversion after scoring a touchdown (a single down play after the TD where getting into the endzone is worth 2 points). In theory this could go on forever (most I've seen is 7 overtimes).
theres a whole game within the game dealing with clock management(both nfl and college). The clock will continue running unless the runner goes out of bounds, timeout, incomplete pass, etc. ex. youll see a winning team towards the end of the game running in bounds, avoiding passes, taking knees to drain as much clock., but when the other team gets it theyll run out of bounds, call timeouts, pass, and spike the ball to pause the clock and give them more time to score. look into it, itll help you get the strategy a little better.
The clock doesn't stop in the NFL either. The clock only stops in the 2nd and 4th quarter if a player goes out of bounds with I believe 4 minutes left in the quarter. The clock also stops on an incomplete pass. That's why you see people running the ball when they are in the lead and "Chewing the Clock" they will not attempt a pass usually.
Great watch. I enjoy the enthusiasm.
Thank you Randy!
the circle was just highlighting how far down they where... a 31 to 0 at halftime is a big hole to come back from but they did it... thats why halftime is so important as a losing team... you can get together and review the playbook and make adjustments to what you seen in the first half...
So glad you guys got to see the Arkansas punt return at 5:29. That's maybe the best punt return in the history of American football.
The clock keeps running if the player is tackled in bounds. Only the 2 minute warning in the 2nd and 4th quarters can stop the clock on a tackle in bounds. Incomplete passes and running out of bounds stops the clock.
2 minute warning means 2 mins left in the half. Then 2 minutes left in the game.
Thanks Brad. That’s interesting, how come inside those two particular instances the clock stops? Just because of the closeness to the end of the half and game?
You can def find some great kickoff and punt return compilations
Thanks for the suggestion Dave. We’ll add this to the list!
Wooo Pig Sooie! That Joe Adams punt return was amazing! SEC SEC SEC
You should check out Oklahoma vs. Texas in the Red River Rivalry. The stadium is split 50/50 with the fans of each team taking an entire half of the stadium. The 2021 game started as a blowout, then turned into a come from behind, then had back and forth leads.The winning touchdown was scored with one second on the clock. It was crazy.
Heartbreaking as a texas fan
Another great video 🙂I think you two would enjoy a compilation of the best kickoff and/or punt returns (college or NFL). Similar to the play at 4:11
Thank you for the comment, appreciate it! Also added to our suggestions list!
@@DNReacts Or check out Devin Hester's career.
czcams.com/video/XGRssBo9Bsw/video.html
Two observations about the video you chose:
1. What an odd clip to end on -- after all the spectacular plays, they show us a simple defensive stop. Not a very flashy finish.
2. I may be spoiled, but I think it's always more fun to see the close-up, slow-motion replay, after the original play (particularly since you were showing us the game in a small, picture-in-picture frame -- it would have been better for us). Was surprised and disappointed this video did not provide that.
The best way to think about the clock is that it's always counting down (unlike soccer 😉), but certain frequent events make it stop. A few cases are incomplete passes, running out of bounds, timeouts, etc... If you are tackled in bounds the clock will keep running. When you asked the question in the video, the offensive obviously had no timeouts left (3 per half), and the clock was still running from the previous play.
Can’t we compromise on European Football? 😅 Thank you for this, very helpful! Also regarding the 3 time outs per half you’ve in advance answered a question we had in a highlight video due out soon 😀
In college football overtime, each team is given one possession beginning at the opponent's 25-yard line. Each team retains the ball until it scores, fails to score, fails to make a first down or turns the ball over. Teams can score either a touchdown or a field goal. Beginning with the second overtime period, teams must attempt a two-point conversion after scoring a touchdown. Beginning with the third overtime period, teams will begin to run alternating two-point conversion plays instead of offensive possessions.
10:00 The term "Hail Mary Pass" refers to a long distance last second pass that's needed to score before the end of a half or the end of a game. The term was originally invented by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, after he threw a last-second 50-yard touchdown pass to win a 1975 playoff game. After the game, Staubach told reporters that as the ball left his hand, he closed his eyes and said a Hail Mary, and the term stuck.
You can find plenty of videos of the original Hail Mary pass on youtube. You should do a reaction to one of them some day.
Thank you have added to our list! I do love a Hail Mary 😀
Throw it up and pray LOL
Thanks! I'm from Dallas, and was hoping someone would explain the Hail Mary pass. I knew it was Roger Staubach, but didn't know the year. Of course, he was a legend around here.
@@suzanneyoung8011 It was a pretty big playoff win for the team. They were playing the Minnesota Vikings, who had gone 12-2 that year, with quarterback Frank Tarkenton winning the MVP. They were huge favorites to win the Super Bowl. But the Cowboys upset them and went on to make it to the Super Bowl themselves.
@@TheStapleGunKid Thanks for the details. I knew it had been a very big win.
I'm mainly a Baseball fan, DN Reacts, (Braves and Dodgers - spent much of my life in both cities) but if I'm gonna watch American Football, it's generally gonna be college ball (UGA, in my home state), for reasons like this. It's much more chaotic and exciting for me. Seeing star players probably headed for the NFL break out in terms of talent, and more risk-taking seems to allow for more miracle plays like this. Plus many college teams have stadiums as big, or bigger than NFL stadiums, and the crowds and shows are unbelievable. Watching NFL is tolerable, but for me, in a lot of ways it's like watching a battle between two lines of heavy tanks lined up to each other, and just trying to grind each other back a few yards at a time, whereas college ball is more like watching light infantry shoot and scoot, taking enemy territory through agility, improvisation, etc.
That said, look into Texas high school Football. Texans love their high school teams more than the college ones. I remember arriving in a west-Texas town, getting driven around by a friend who was also stationed there, and idly wondering why the big, concrete ASU stadium was so far from their campus. He informed me that that stadium was for a local high school, not the University. When we did pass the University's field, it looked like what you'd expect from a high-school-shoddy metal bleachers, etc.
So many great lesser-known universities that also play really good football and other sports. I wish there were more highlights for those schools. But any American sports highlights are always great to watch.
I wish I could sit and watch football with these guys and drink beer and answer all their questions about football! I enjoyed the video!
Thanks Michael, really appreciate it! Can come hang with us on our Discord. We’re on there quite a lot and nearly have 900 of us there now.
I've been to many, many, many college football games that had miraculous or fantastical plays like these, and they didn't even make this video. This sort of excitement happens every weekend during the college football season.
There is no time limit in overtime, whoever scores, the other team has to match that score or score more to win
I was at the LSU VS TENNESSEE game. It was a wild finish. 12 men on the filed which was the penalty and gives LSU the extra try on the touchdown. The score to win the game.
Love you guys and y’all’s consistency. Here’s some major rivalries to look out for: You can’t forget the twin state rivalry: Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. Then there’s also the Magnolia Bowl: Ole Miss vs LSU. Then you’ve got The Egg Bowl Ole Miss vs Mississippi State. The Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party: Florida vs Georgia. You’ve got The Battles Up North: essentially any of the 3 Deep South states (Alabama, Mississippi, or Georgia) versus Tennessee. And for an old one you’ve got what we in Mississippi called the Rich Kid Rivalry or more officially the Mid-South Rivalry: it was Ole Miss vs Memphis.
All these are extremely intense rivalries, fights have happened, many have been arrested. Hell I drank my first beer as a kid tailgating at one of these after a win when my dad gave it to me. They’re some of the wildest games you’ll ever see.
Thank you Cato, really appreciate it 😀 We’ve definitely got to dive deeper into these rivalries and get some videos up showing how they’ve developed and intensified
@@DNReacts well as always I’m willing to help. As a Southerner I’ve mostly grown up in the South Eastern Conference also known as the most powerful football conference.
Seems you forgot Ohio State vs. Michigan
@@lornawestlake9280 looks like you forgot to read the part where I mentioned I grew up SEC not Big 10 and you may have noticed I listed SEC rivalries and left out the other Power 5 or Group of 5 conferences sense I have no connection to them.
i was at the tcu vs oregon game as a tcu fan, what a game😂
Go Frogs!
The clock only stops when: a timeout is called, or the player with the ball steps out of bounds, or when the ball is thrown forward and not caught (an incompletion), or when a penalty is called.
Thank you! 😀
Hail Mary TDs are some of the best of the best to see. I absolutely love 'em because they're the biggest gambles that pay off in dividends. Aaron Rodgers, QB for the Green Bay Packers, has been a king at Hail Marys here and there over years. Say what you will about the man being a weirdo, but when he'd do those, it was absolutely magical. And the crowd goes wild!
🏈🏈🏈
not sure how i missed part 1, but i went back and watched. 😀
13:12 the clock doesn't always stop between plays. for examples of reasons to stop the clock :
if there's a penalty
if there is an incomplete pass
if a player in possession of the ball runs out of bounds
this isn't a comprehensive list, but you get the idea.
There are so many. Flute vs Miami, Miracle in Michigan, Auburn vs Bama...just to name a few
I was slightly upset at how little excitement there was for the play at 7:06 - a play now known as the "Hog and Ladder" or the "Henry Heave". I remember watching that away game from a bar in Fayetteville, and the entire place was going nuts when that happened.
Overtime against 18th ranked Ole Miss, and it was 4th down with 25 yards to go (i.e., the game came down to this). Arkansas went on to score a TD that drive, after which we pulled off a 2 point conversion for the win. Good memories!
in college football, the clock stops when the ball is either thrown incomplete, the ball goes out of bounds, a time out is called, or temporarily when a team gets a first down. In NFL, the clock does not stop for first downs.
I don’t know if you were aware but the UCLA/TexasAM game TD at 3:19 was very important in that UCLA was down at one point by over 30;points. If you look up UCLA Texas A&M Josh Rosen, you can see the highlights.
The comeback was one of the biggest deficit wipeouts in college football history. 👍🏼💙🐻💛 Go Bruins!
Loved this video. The clock stops if the ball goes out of bounds, if the refs stop the clock for some reason like a measurement or there is a time out called by one of the teams. LSU didn't have any time outs remaining. Thanks for the fun. Enjoyed it.
Thanks Mark, appreciate it!
15:33 Kentucky (the team in blue) thought they’d won the game, they dumped Gatorade on their coach and the fans were starting to run on the field. Then lsu won
In college football overtime doesnt have a clock. Each team gets one possession to try and do something with the ball. A touchdown ends the game immediately while a field goal will allow the other tram a chance to either tie it up or win.
Hey y'all..
Once again, y'all scored big again with College Football..
Trivia:
You might know this already..
When they show shots of the crowd after the opponents win on the final play, you will often see fans with their hands behind their heads, elbows out, with their face contorted in confusion and/or agony...
That position is Called the....
"SURRENDER COBRA"
😆 🤣 😂
Love to watch y'alls journey,
Rick
Charleston SC
Great comment 😂 appreciate the support Rick!
“Surrender Cobra” lmao
Kicking myself as to why the hell I’d never heard that
You have seen the role of the quarterback, do you know the role of the middle linebacker?
After the two teams line up and take positions on each side of the line of scrimmage; but before the ball is napped, both sides try to figure out what the other side has planned. Some people call the middle linebacker the "quarterback" of the defensive line. IMHO Ray Lewis was the best ever at that position and has never been matched even after he retired. Check out some of his
highlights., he was a truly crazy "all out" player' so... they are a hoot.
Most of the tim the middle linebacker has the authority to line up his players in a manner which he thinks best defends against the next play. The two major categories of defensive formation are: zone and man to man. This is pretty self-explanatory. As you can easily figure out each has its advantages and disadvantages. A defence might use a "man-to-man" approach and assign two players from the defence to defend against a star player on the offence and make life hard for him. For instance, Travis Kelce (yes, of the Kansas City Chiefs) is soooo good that he often has two players from the defence assigned to try to stop him. They usually DON'T stop him. Kelce is another great player with amazing highlight reels.
So American football has lots of dimensions. There is also something called 'time management" which is usually done by the head coach. This is the art of making sure that
the team uses its time-outs to the best advantage and also make sure they don't waste playing time at critical junctures.
This is the basics. There are also the intricacies of "running routes." I am not an expert, maybe some other viewers can speak about running routes.
I don't know if it was mentioned elsewhere in the comments but in the first clip, Central Michigan came back from being down 49-14 in the third quarter, but missed a two-point conversion and lost 49-48.
jordan mailata is from australia and plays for the philadelphia eagles as an offensive lineman you guys should check him out
For full rules on when the game clock stops, see the Wikipedia article "Clock Management", but basically the game clock stops for:
1. A time out
2. When the ball is taken out of bounds
3. An incomplete forward pass
4. A ref calls for a timeout for any reason (there are several)
5. In College and High School football (but not NFL) the game clock stops for a few seconds after a first down so the chain crew can reset themselves
All other times, the game clock keeps going. So watching that Tennessee vs. LSU game, there was some crazy confusion on the LSU coaching side to send a bunch of other players out onto the field before the quaterback got a spike of the ball in (to stop the clock - incomplete forward pass), which Tennessee saw and tried to send different defenders out for a different type of play... and the game clock just kept running with like 50 guys on the field. But then, LSU did manage to snap the ball, and caught Tennessee with too many men on the field (because of all of the confusion) and got a do-over in which LSU managed to score a touchdown.
On that #5 as a further fact to note, LSU was out of timeouts. So #1 was out of the ?.
6:17 I remember absolutely losing my mind that game! Go Rebels!
In OT each team starts from the other teams 25 yard line. Game clock is for running plays only. After 2 OT`s
teams on TD scores must attempt 2 point tries. The one game was 4th and 25 yards to get a new set (1st down) of plays.
Thats why the guy just thre it back like 15 yards, what`s to lose? He was well short of making the 25 yards.. just
a freak play as his teammate caught the lateral and actually advanced the ball enough for a FIRST!
College football overtime is arguably the most entertaining overtime in all of sports. Teams take alternating turns having possessions starting with a 1st and 10 at the 25 yard line closest to the endzone they are trying to score in. However many points team 1 scores on their drive (0 from the defense getting a stop, 3 from being held to a feild goal, 6 from a TD with a missed extra point, 7 from an TD and made extra point, or 8 from a TD and made 2 point conversion) team 2 must match it to push the game into an extra OT, or they have to score more in order to win the game. There is no time limit on each possession. You guys haven’t done this before but I suggest you react to or at least watch 2018 LSU vs Texas A&M for a couple reasons: 1) It’s the best game to get an understating of OT rules because it has the most OTs in college football history; 2 it’s an entertaining game that has a comeback, lots of scoring, drama at the end, and a miracle finish; 3) we will NEVER see slither game like it due to the NCAA implementing a few new OT rules in direct response to the way this game played out (the most significant new role being at the start of the 3rd OT, instead of 25 yard drives, each team only gets 1 play from the 3 yard line, and they go back and forth until someone doesn’t score). Sorry for the information dump on an old video. Im new to the channel and I love the content! Hope this comment finds you and helps if you haven’t learned this information already by now
Thank you so much for the comment and the info, we really appreciate and your support. Love that you’re loving the channel 🙏
In college football the first two overtimes each team starts at their own 25 yard line and they run plays like a normal part of the game and try to score. Starting at the second overtime they have to go for two point conversions if they score a touchdown. Each team can also kick field goals during the overtime to score on their turn.
Roger Staubach, Dallas Cowboy quarterback was the one who coined the phrase of "The Hail Mary" He would throw a pass & say his Hail Mary's.
Hey Fellas, FYI, if the previous play was a running play the clock continues to run unless a team calls timeout. If it's a passing play it stops because the refs have to reset the ball.
The clock doesn't stop between plays generally. There are reasons the clock will stop including mainly, a team gets a first down, the player with the ball goes out of bounds, a pass is incomplete (the receiver didn't catch it) or a team calls a time out.
Just discovered this channel. I have watched 6 of your videos so far, expecting to see one moment. That moment came at the 6 minute mark. The incredible punt return by my ARKANSAS Razorbacks! WPS! I watched this live on tv, maybe the most excited i have ever been! I love learning about the difference between American and English cultures. Growing up in the southern United States; (American) football is life!
Thank you Jonathan! That punt return was incredible! I love seeing things like that. Hope you’ll stick around, thanks for the support!
To get a better feel for college football vs the NFL and what makes these highlights so crazy beyond just the insane plays, college football is about school pride, recruiting, territory, rivalries, upsets, and the rankings.
The school pride comes from being a current/former student of that university, or living in that city since not every city has a pro team. The recruiting process is just as competitive as the games because all the top schools go out and fight each other trying to convince the best high school players to commit to their university. Then you have territory where you want to be the best team in your state and then conference. Which up until recently, the conferences for biggest were split up by which side of the country your on. The south currently has been dominating in. College football, but the west cost and north schools are trying to make a comeback. The rivalry games are the must win games. A team could go 1-11 in a season, but if that 1 win came against your rival, it’s still a good season. Especially since some rivalries are over 100 years old. The last, and most important, is the rankings. There’s 133 teams in the main division, but only the top 4 teams make it to the playoffs and have a chance to win the championship. It used to only be the top 2 teams in the rankings just played for the championship without having playoffs. There’s almost always 1 or 2 teams that go undefeated during the regular season and have their playoff spots locked in, so all the other teams are fighting for those last two spots. If you lose 2 games, you’re chances of making the playoffs are low. In a lot of of these highlights, especially the game where Alabama missed the field goal and Auburn ran it back for a touchdown to win the game, they’re rivals and the loss knocked Alabama out from going to the playoffs.
The NFL is about drafting players instead of recruiting them, and only the best college football players make it. They focus more now on the star players rivalries instead of team rivalries, and it’s all about winning the SB.
Hail Marys are the best way to win a game I caught one in high school and to this day I remember every second of it
Overtime in NFL is 10 minutes, and the push is for the offense to score a TD (first team to do so wins). In college football, there is no OT clock. Each team gets a chance at possession per OT period until one team wins. Also, NFL and college rules say first possession is decided on a coin toss.
Keep checking out those Clemson videos, we got some good ones
Clock only stops on incomplete pass or when you run out of bounds. Clock management is huge in football. If you're winning running the ball is best because the clock won't stop.
Love you guys, thanks for another great video. Here's a tip if you guys are watching these videos on CZcams. Hit J to go back 10 seconds, L to go forward 10 seconds and the left and right arrow keys to go back or forward 5 seconds.
Thanks Robert! We have changed the way we record now so it will make going back and forward easier to edit.
"I wonder how easy or difficult it is to block those [field goal/extra point kicks]." - Pretty difficult. In the NFL, there were just 14 field-goals blocked in 2021, out of 1066 field-goal attempts, meaning just 1.3% of all field goal attempts at any distance were blocked. College football is a little harder to track because of all the teams, divisions, and conferences, but I'd say it's not quite as rare, but still pretty rare.
Kick returns and punt returns would be a good one to watch
We will be doing them soon!
No clock in college overtime; 1st overtime: each team gets a possession starting from the 25 yard line; if one team out scores the other they win; if still tied after 1st OT, then have 2nd OT; 2nd OT is same as 1st OT except if score a TD, the team must go for 2 point conversion instead of kick extra point; 3rd OT and beyond teams simply have 2 point conversions, if u score and hold your opponent u win (like penalty kicks)
That Florida state touchdown return was in thr National Championship game as well. Flipped the momentum.
College overtime each team gets the ball on the others 25 yard line with a fresh set of downs to try and score a TD or Field Goal, each team gets a try and if they tie after the 1st over time, they go on to 2nd, 3rd, etc. So it's not base on a set time.
Thank you Vadershake! I quite like this way of deciding a game 👍
Most of the greatest games I've seen have been college games, real back and forth contests, and about half went down to the wire or into OT.
The context of it being a non ranked team vs a ranked team or it being in the national title game all comes into these ones.
The LSU-Kentucky play at 15:35 is known as The Bluegrass Miracle, and played at Kentucky. Kentucky was a big underdog in the game, so when the ball was tipped, the fans on the other side of field rushed it, thinking they won and even tore down the goal post
You can see that the quarterback has to throw the ball to a place where his receiver WILL BE in a few seconds. Pretty darn impossible, in my mind, but, it happens all the time.
Definitely is! I would make a hopeless QB 😅
Love the videos! You guys should check out The Game! It’s the Michigan Vs Ohio State game. It’s the biggest rivalry in American sports and this years game had both teams go in undefeated. Checking out the highlights would be great.
Thanks Ray, really appreciate the comment. Glad you’re loving the content too! Have added to our list 👍
Do Dante hall
You’ll see a lot of end zone to end zone. He’s a kick returner. At the beginning of each game and after each scoring possession, there is a kick off. When one team kicking it off, usually the previous scoring team. Dante hall was really good at receiving the kick off. He was Barry sanders like. Very elusive.
😃 "did he get it...."
Really surprised that two of the most famous finishes over the last ten years weren't included, both in huge rivalry games. The 2013 "Kick Six" game where Auburn beat Alabama, and the 2015 game when the Michigan punter mishandled the snap and Michigan State taking the ball the other way for a TD.
I think at the beginning of the video that they said they were watching part 2 of college football miracles. And also, that they had watched/reacted to part 1 already. So I'm assuming both of those iconic plays were probably in the other video.
the kickoff return as you called it end zone to end zone was in the championship game it Kickstarted a 24 point comeback for flordia state who won on the last play
Thank you for the added context Brandon, that is an insane comeback! Sounds incredible
Clock stops on an incomplete pass or player running with the ball out of bounds. It continues running if the runner is tackled in bounds.
Overtime in college isn't timed, just each team gets the ball once. Starting with the third (used to be fifth) overtime they just attempt two point conversions, sort of like penalty kick sudden death in soccer.
I was at that game with the nebraska hail mary, top 5 moments of my life
Incredible!
19:04 The longer a field goal is the easier it is to block.
Lower trajectory, ( less arch).
Yeah this makes sense, thanks Robert
11:01 this is known as _"Stripping (the ball)"_ very legal (if you don't get caught.) 😆
5:31 that boy was greased! got me? *__* i'm gone. you got me? *__* how about you? *__* i'm gone again!
You guys should react to Johnny Manziel if you haven't. That bama vs texas a&m game was insane. Bama entered the year as favorites to win the national title and texas a&m went into Tuscaloosa with Johnny Manziel who was a freshman and no one knew who he was and he played the game of his life and by halfway through that season he was heisman favorite for player of the year. I remember watching him get hurt in a game and you could have heard a pen drop in that stadium it was so quiet. Texas a&m loved them some Johnny football.
Thank you for this one, have got Manziel added to our list!
When you chuck the ball up with a hope and a prayer that your team will catch it, that's a Hail Mary (referrencing the Catholic prayer). Usually a desperation play at the end of the game.
Thank you, I do love a Hail Mary 😅 All or nothing!
Overtime is unlimited time and can go on forever. Each team has a chance to score from the 25 yard line. Whoever had the ball first in the first OT will get the ball second in the second overtime and it will go back and fourth until a team scores and prevents the other team from scoring. After the second OT they can't kick an extra point they must go for 2 point conversion after a Touchdown.
