If you think icing works, then not calling the third time out seems wise.

That's the time for me when I was most focused on whether the third time out was going to be called. I don't think its the kick pressure itself that is so distracting, its that you can't help wondering whether another time out is going to interrupt you again.

The genius of how Kalani iced the kicker.

It didn’t hurt that the crowd starts booing after the first timeout. Anything

I didn't notice the booing. The 30 or so of us wearing blue in our section were

Unless the kicker nails the kick......Then we would have been Broncoed!!!

Bronco would've wasted 1-2 timeouts on meaningless 3rd and 6 plays early in 3Q

Seemed like the team usually made a big play after those timeouts though.

Yep. Coaches do this all the time.

We're not used to high IQ decisions by head coaches when it comes to this game.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE ICING THE KICKER WORKS.

9/18/18 7:50am

There is no evidence that it does not work.

Parley

9/18/18 7:53am

YES THERE IS.

9/18/18 8:39am

There is no evidence that all caps is more convincing than non-all caps.

Sure it does, here's some stats from the NFL between 2001 - 2012

I need to save this for my Sports Psych class. Thanks

That'd be a fun class to teach.

9/18/18 8:39am

Probably my favorite class to teach

WhiteKnight

9/18/18 8:40am

but they don't specifically mention if the non-iced kicks are with the game on

palangi

Good point. All "iced kicks" are presumably pressure kicks

WhiteKnight

Actually at this time it was total sudden death in OT so the game was always on

Anecdotal but sample set of Wisc on Sat it worked every time. That's evidence.

Go back and read the geniuses on CB when Kalani called the first timeout. Then

I hated it. The explanation of wanting to rest the D makes sense.

Kalani said he was trying to rest our guys to make a play

What Kalani actually said

Corbin and Kalani actually said they were used to rest the D for a block

I think you're right but I also don't think it was that calculated

“Genius”? Easy there.

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

9/18/18 9:27am

LOL-if he made the kick CB would say Kalani was an idiot for squandering his TOs

9/18/18 9:58am

Does anyone have any video showing this actually got in his head

9/18/18 10:00am

Only genius because he missed. There are plenty of makes when coaches try to ice

IronPotato

It's only genius if the kicker misses

That split second distraction, possibly, “is dude/did dude just call 3rd TO”

According to Bronson Kaufusi...

FanofBYU

9/18/18 11:24am

Well that's also what Kalani said. But why believe them?

9/18/18 11:29am

I dont understand why people - include the announcers - questioned this

OC Coug

9/18/18 12:24pm

Kalani said post game that the reason was more Kaufusi, than the kicker
