Say you were watching a bowl game that was tied in the fourth quarter with 25 seconds left. The ball is near the 50 yard line. It is 3rd and 10 and the team runs a play that gets them 47 yards from the goal-line and it will be 4th down. The coach lets the clock run down without ever letting the Qarterback leave the field and calls a time-out with 4 seconds left. What are you going to assume?
A. The team is going to like up and try a field goal that would be the 6th longest of all-time in NCAA and would be longer than the current NFL record.
B. The team is going to line up and try and throw a pass into the end-zone.
Personallly, I think the obvious answer is B. But Eric Collins the play-by-play guy for last night's Southern Miss v. Troy game thought the answer was A. He showed Gus Johnson-like excitement in saying "Are they gonna attempt a field goal here Shaun?" It was an epic-fail once Shaun King said no and nothing else.
This is why I am trying to be a sports broadcaster. I can't do much worse than these guys.
