Corndogs Prediction Thread

The most you can win by is 8. You don't get the points for the pick 6, the game just ends.

9. Why wouldn't the points for the pick 6 not count?

I'm pretty sure fever has predicted we lose every single game this year, including Towson because we can't run the ball .

A few weeks ago I said I was more worried about Auburn then LSU. On paper Auburn seemed like a terrible match up for us with their elite dline vs. our sub par oline and running game vs our undersized front 7. Guess what most here and all the experts were wrong, the score was a lot closer than the game.

LSU hasn't really been tested on either side of the ball like Auburn allegedly had been and on paper we match up much better vs LSU. And I have a hard time believing Joe burrow has mysteriously became elite.

Zuniga coming back is huge and Burrows rosey check having ass gets put on his back early and often. I also have a feeling Mullen has some new offensive wrinkles with Emory and our running game.

Not quite that bad of predictions but I did predict 3 OT victories for us so far. :D

Maybe you do. Then it would be 14, not 9 would be the the maximum. I thought the game was over as soon as you get the turnover if you already had the lead. I would need to see an example of a game that ended in more than an 8 point margin of victory.

I think the pick 6 counts but i know they dont even try the extra point.

 

[Zambo]

I doubt any player has ever picked the ball off after their team had already scored and run it 80 yards back for a TD rather than just taking a knee. But then again, trying to predict what some college football player will do at any one time is a fool's errand.

 

[Zambo]

Well I had to go and look it up and it seems that ASU beat USC 47-34 some years back in 2OT after a scoop-n-score fumble recovery.

 

[Zambo]

It would be interesting to see what the ruling is if a team gained a turnover in OT and then fumbled it back to the other team. Generally that counts as two changes of possession and results in a first down for the team that started the play with the ball, but in OT it might result in the end of that series.

Maybe, I can't actually find an example of a OT game won by more than 8 points but most teams know to take a knee if they get an int and already have the lead.

Cool, well that proves it.

They wouldn’t allow the 2-point conversion to happen because the game would already be over. Just like when a team scores the winning TD in OT there’s never a PAT attempt.

The only possible margins of victory in college overtime are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 14.

If Team A scores a TD, but then Team B blocks the XP or forces a turnover on a two point conversion, can Team B run the ball back for a score like in regulation? If Team B already has the lead is the ball dead in that scenario?

I would imagine if team A was down only 6 points due to team B missing the xp on the previous series, then yes team A could scoop and score 2pts on the xp to win the game.

Be a helluva way to win. I just read your other post about the ASU -USC game. Funny that somebody ran the ball all the way back instead of just downing it. Imagine if he had fumbled somehow and a USC guy took it the other way for a TD to set up a tie.

That also means a team could win by 12. Let's say ASU scored a TD to go up six and then missed the XP. If they then got a pick six or scoop and score, then they would win by 12 instead of 13 as actually happened. It also means you could win by four - up two and intercept the conversion and take it back. Here's hoping we don't end ever up on the wrong side of one of these scenarios!

I penciled this one in as a loss from the beginning...so 23-17 LSU

Pumper pick

UF- 27
LSU- 20

Has this ever happened? Every ot game clinching int I can recall the player downs to seal it.

Those are the two scenarios I missed.

They could. So Team A goes up by 6. Team B blocks the PAT and runs is back for 2, leaving it a 4 point lead. Team B could score a TD to win by 2.

What if team A scores a touchdown and is successful at the 2 point conversion putting them up by 8. Team B has bad snap that goes 70 yards backwards and they get tackled for a safety putting team A up by 10.

 

[NavetG8r]

If Trask doesn't do a better job of holding onto the ball, we get blown out. If we don't give the ball away and repeatedly put LSU in great field position, it could be a close one and we've owned the 4th quarter so far this year so we'll have a chance to pull the upset. I'm not holding my breath though. All the advantages we had last week goes to LSU this week. It'll be hard to beat the team, the crowd, and the refs that always seem against us in these SEC match ups.

I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm expecting something like...

The good part is, it should give the players a bit of a reality check and maybe, just maybe they'll step up their game enough to whip the puppies in Jax. That could still put us in Atlanta. Maybe for a rematch with LSU and this time they won't have home field advantage.
