I don't think it was out of malice with the late score. Elliott was saying feed me and urban wanted to reward him for riding his back the previous three games. Would guarantee that what went on.
UGA had the same scenario this year against Clemson. The problem was there was a holding call on the score....Richt then was like fk it, and took a knee. When ask he said they play until the final whistle, but he really wanted to reward his RB and O for a dominating game. Nothing wrong with being a players coach on the field.
Same can be said of MM going out under center the last Duck drive. These are kids and they are wanting enjoy the moment. You bring up worst case scenarios. If the ball is at midfield you take a knee. On the 1, let them score. No harm in that. Tore ligaments are part of the game. Chances of that happening from the 1 is slim to none tho.
Ok so I'm wrong they don't do it every single time they score. It's still unnecessary and not in line with football etiquette just like Meyers last touchdown. Fair is fair. Take yer beatin like a man. Sign that ball boy with the fro because he's a 2 star that fits the system and beat the shit out of the whitest conference in America for the next 10 years. The rest of the nation still won't respect ya. So lose with some dignity.
I didn't watch the last few minutes. I took it for granted that it would end the right way. MM taking a snap was stupid, if that's how it went down. Why risk an NFL career to injury for a meaningless play? You are right, I'm thinking worst case scenario, but this only comes to mind when it's meaningless. And honestly with the way injury awareness has gone, I don't want there to be any stupid injuries that come to the spotlight and change this game anymore that has been. The possibility always exists on any given play, so why increase the odds, albeit small? Sometimes an injury can't be recovered from, like Lattimore.
