Topic:  No offensive touchdown? Author Message sargentfan General User Member Since: 3/16/2005 Post Count: 917 Status: Offline     No offensive touchdown?    Posted: 10/25/2012 2:29:55 PM  Maybe I was off in my own world, but I didn't realize that Toledo never scored a offensive touchdown on Cincy!?!  Just five field goals, a return, and a pick six.  Not saying I'm not happy they got the win, but I hope they don't think they are better than us because they beat Cincy.

Toledo benefited because UC made mistakes, most notably QB Munchie.

Thinking about that it would be right, though, off the top of my head I would have said offensive. And I thought I knew everything.  Thanks Billy, may we call you William?

Yes, L.C., I know that this is a tangent.  Something rarely seen on BA; however, classifying a FG as a special team's score and not an offensive score is BS.  How in the heck does the ball get in position for the special teams to convert it into points.  You mean a FG scored from the 1 yard line on 4th and goal is some how to be credited solely to a holder and kicker.  The offense had nothing to do with it?  However, they go for it and score and it's magically an offensive score.  It that's the rule, it needs to be changed because it makes no sense whatsoever.    Now, for something important BEAT MIAMI!   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

It could be that there was a turnover, and the offense did not move the ball at all. Perhaps there was a kick return that ended up there. Perhaps a penalty put it there. Oten it is a combination of more than one of the above, such as a turnover, followed by a penalty, or maybe a long kick return followed by a short drive. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,767 Status: Offline     RE: No offensive touchdown?    Posted: 10/26/2012 4:36:41 PM  L.C. wrote: OhioCatFan wrote: Y...

Ok, I'll give you the situation where the other team fumbles the ball deep in its own territory and your offense makes little or no progress toward the goal before the FG.  But, that I think is really the exception.  Most FGs should be credited to the offense.  If that's not the case, a scoring modification needs to be made, perhaps with an exception for the kinds of situations you mention.  I see no justification for the offense not getting credit for a long drive that ends in a successful FG.  The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

The point is, it's a team game, and points all count the same regardless of who scores them. There is no more honor in winning 64-61 than in winning 3-0. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Brian Smith (No, not that one) General User Member Since: 2/3/2005 Post Count: 3,016 Status: Offline     RE: No offensive touchdown?    Posted: 10/26/2012 4:59:40 PM  L.C. wrote: Now we're getting back to the thread topic.

Well, around here I'm pretty sure you get a bigger discount at Runza if the local team wins by the latter. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 15  of 15 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 240 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 240 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
