rmreitz Walk-on

In the postgame interview Kalani said the team was gassed and he wanted to wait until Kaufusi was ready to go for the block with full enrgy. He said the choice between 2 and 3 times was more head game, as discussed.

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

What made it even better is he was standing next to the ref making it

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

Except bronco wasted time outs on an extra point. Which would have been

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.

People are acting like he did something unique

But it worked and seemed like an unlikely result to a very unlikely

Yep. Coaches do this all the time.

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

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.

There is no evidence that it does not work.

YES THERE IS.

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

That'd be a fun class to teach.

Probably my favorite class to teach

WhiteKnight

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

palangi

9/18/18 9:31am

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

WhiteKnight

9/18/18 10:00am

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.

When the coach calls 2 time outs — Ice Ice Baby

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.

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

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

kapcreations

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...

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