[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 188333, member: 2426"] The movement of a blocked kick is unpredictable. If it isn't the end of the half and a player gets close to the ball, it could bounce and hit them. The other team could then recover the ball. At the end of the half, it wouldn't matter because they wouldn't be able to run another play. If it is at the end of the half, there isn't any danger if the ball is touched, but if the ball is picked up and fumbled, the other team can advance it. The FSU players should have run to the ball as soon as it was blocked. I read that their kicker said the team was confused and thought the ball was dead. Had the FSU players gone to the ball like they should have, it would have been far more difficult to advance the ball. It also could be dangerous. They would have several players at the ball while GT would only have one. In interviews, Austin said that he looked over his shoulder and saw that he was alone. It was then that he decided to pick it up and run with it. Had there been several FSU players running toward him, he probably would have thought differently. [/QUOTE]
