Nice “gap filler” by the NCAA, scheduling this Championship during the first free Monday from NFL and CFB playoffs. Great game so far!

Hook’em!!!

Impressive play call and execution.

Good ole Taco...

 

damn.  What a play. Onside attempt to come.

Montana has a giant kicking the onside kick

I need to hear some more Cotton Eyed Joe.

Another WTF decision by MSU's coaching staff. I get you want to go for the block, but at least have one guy to catch the ball so you get a final play.

Just a fucking dumb decision.

Pretty dumb for obvious reasons: 1) you get no possible return and 2) time runs out while the ball is still live.

I figured the return man would fair catch immediately or run out of bounds.  But there was no return man.

 

I understand thinking that a punt block is your best chance. But go for the block with 10 and hope for a miracle on the return instead of letting the clock run out as the ball rolls.

Exactly. I understand the thinking that the probability of blocking the punt with 11 is likely greater than scoring on one final play from 80 yards out. However, the combined probability of blocking a punt with 10 and then having another play gives you a greater chance to pull off the miracle. 

Coach Prime has a transitive FCS title now!

It was a very long shot either way. They probably figured their QB didn't have an 80 yard pass in him.
