@@theioncow18 I'm sure if there would have been an option the coach would have thought about that. Long snapping is not easy and takes a lot of practice to perfect.
Nice. The stadium is completely different from when I went to school there 20 years ago. We were horrible then but did manage to beat the griz my senior year
As a longsnapper you can only see the ball for a sec and don’t see it hit your target necessarily so when u F up you don’t know until you realize the ball isn’t punted
@@august8306 you can usually tell though whether it’s a bad or good snap though once it leaves your hands. I used to long snap and you can kinda gauge how good it is
I’m just shocked how the long snapper made no adjustment whatsoever. He just hurled the ball into the air and hoped it worked. Didn’t even try to snap it lower
@@dirtybirdambrose Either that or pull him for anyone. There must be another player on that team that knows somewhat how to long snap. After the 2nd time it happened, it was obvious he was having anxiety and was stuck in his own head
After first snap: "Alright it happens." After second snap: "He's just not on his game today." After third snap: "Wow, this guy REALLY sucks." After fourth snap: *If this wasn't college football, I'd release you*
Montana state ended up winning by less than 8 points. So essentially that long snapper won us the game. The entire crowd was chanting “MVP” after the 3-4 safety.
Even rarer is this permutation. Typically 11 is made from 3 FG and a safety or a FG and touchdown with a 2 point conversion. It's really rare to get a touchdown and 2 safeties.
The very next week the long snapper had a great game in a win against a very good u of Montana. It s got to be tough for him but he moved on. Great job by the coaches for still working with him. This bad day wont define him. Weber state, great, great, great!
After the second one, third at the latest. The risk of making fourth and less than 10 is less than trading two points for a free kick every time because you can't execute a punt. Either go for it, or sneak the punter in on third down and quick kick like they did in the old days. Anything but keep doing what clearly isn't working.
That's a bad day on the job. Don't worry man, put it behind you and look forward. You know what to do. You got there cause you are good. Don't forget that.
You know you're having a bad game when you snap the ball over your punter's head and thru the end zone for a safety and the TV announcer refers to it as "not as bad as the first two."
I was a high school/JUCO longsnapper and I never understood how or why guys snapped without looking back at their target. I was too worried that this exact thing would happen if I didn't look. 😬 (The snapper in this video appeared to be looking at the ground when he was snapping.)
It's not because of head/eye placement. Many pro snappers are "no-look." Given the weather conditions the ball was probably soaked, making it a lot heavier than normal. In which case the snapper has to put extra force into getting the ball 15 yards. But if you don't practice in wet conditions, it makes judging the force required nearly impossible. Hence, the bad snaps.
and give the ball to the opponent on turn over of downs. They would already be in field goal range and possibly get a quick TD. Giving up 2 is better than giving up 3 or 7.
@@chrisc3731 YES!!! It's a free kick from the 20 yard line. That is still better than giving the ball up on a turnover on downs, when the opposing team would already be in scoring position. Maybe you should apply to be their coach, since you are soooo much smarter.
When I saw the title first, plays I expexted were; "Nice punt (to just front of goal line) followed by defence linemen's rush and suck in the end zone."
I was a punter and a QB in high school & college… I worked with my long snapper during every practice and before every game to make sure our communication and the snap is perfect. This is akin to long snapper tryouts, that’s how bad this is 😂
I had one friend that could not for the life of him snap shotgun and we had a sub coach in that game for OC and he didn't know and called a shotgun play... I should've just called a time out but 13 year old me was too nervous to go against the coach so I just jumped as high as I could when he snapped it lols didn't end well
Ya gotta feel bad for the guy at that point. Long snapping is not easy and most of the time there's only one guy on the team that even attempts it. Honestly though, you'd think after the first two, the coach would just put the center in and do a shotgun snap with a quick kick it to the sideline rather than keep risking this. Getting 20 or 30 yards on a short punt is better than free points.
Don't most college teams have a backup long snapper just in case the regular one gets injured? The blind long snapper at USC was legitimately the backup long snapper as he was a long snapper in high school.
@@ndrewsunday Yeah, but most teams operate out of the shotgun a decent amount. Line up in shotgun with your regular center, and have someone quick kick it.
I don't understand why deep snappers don't look at the punter anymore. It's basic hand-eye coordination principles. The deep snapper is a protected position just like the punter. By rule, he cannot be hit until after the ball is snapped and he has an opportunity to get his head up. Before this rule was put into place, coaches would put a player over the deep snapper at a running start and hit the center in the back of the neck after the ball was snapped.
Are you allowed to have somebody take a snap from your regular center and then turn around and pitch it to your punter? If so, they maybe should have tried that before this got to 4.
I had something similar to this happen to me in high school. We were in the state quarterfinals and I snapped it over the quarterback's head multiple times. Not a fun situation to be in.
I was getting ready to comment something like "wow really great punting and defense to pin the offense back and then get these sacks/TFLs." Then I saw the first one and was like "well ok, still 3 good plays by the defense/punt team." After the second one, I gave up on having anything positive to say.
legends say the punter got so frustrated at all the bad snaps that he threw his jersey off in disgust. Unfortunately, it rolled out of the back of the endzone and the refs had no choice but to rule it a safety
After the 2nd they would've been better off moving the punter closer and doing a "quick kick" off the side of his foot. Otherwise just go for it. I just don't understand being so determined to "get it right " in a game.

You can cut players from the team. He probably did get cut
Amazing that it 24-9 and how much these safeties changed the game leading to a Montana St win.
Game is still going. More time for more safeties

*Keep your head up, 49.*
Point shaving… by the snapper, so genius!
As a long snapper this pains me beyond words
Agreed. No mental strength to adjust and overcome the first bad snap
It's one of the things you ALWAYS need to remember about the game of football: four safeties equal one touchdown with a two-point conversion.
It also equals a TD, missed 2-Pt conversion, and a defensive 2-Pt conversion
A team having 11 points at some point during the game seems very rare
Even rarer is this permutation. Typically 11 is made from 3 FG and a safety or a FG and touchdown with a 2 point conversion. It's really rare to get a touchdown and 2 safeties.
A team scoring a total of exactly four points in a game at any level of football is extremely rare! It has happened occasionally, though.
The very next week the long snapper had a great game in a win against a very good u of Montana. It s got to be tough for him but he moved on. Great job by the coaches for still working with him. This bad day wont define him. Weber state, great, great, great!
It may not define him, but unless you think he will be getting a different NCAA record at some point, this is his legacy now.
And then the week after Montana he snapped another safety against sac state
At what point do you start considering going for it on 4th?
Should have considered after the second one
Great point haha!
Usually that comes before the fifth safety
After the second one, third at the latest. The risk of making fourth and less than 10 is less than trading two points for a free kick every time because you can't execute a punt.
Either go for it, or sneak the punter in on third down and quick kick like they did in the old days. Anything but keep doing what clearly isn't working.
@@johncate9541 Why they never tried a quick kick is staggering
I like how the punter just kicked it out on the last one since he never did get to punt the ball away
Teams are hard-pressed to get four safeties in a year, much less in a game 👀👀👀👀
