Think this would ever ACTUALLY happen?

Alright coach/QB, here's the situation.

You're in OT. You just scored on your first play to climb within one point of your opposition. A timeout is called to discuss what to do, and the 2PC is opted for. The freshman QB (that's you now) walks out onto the field.

Looking around, you realize there are still guys coming onto the field late, and try to call another time out. It's OT. You can't do that. The play is now being rushed. Ten seconds to snap it. The players are still getting set with 7 seconds.

What do you do?

By the way, the title goes along with what would happen in a perfect situation ;)

Fake an injury? :ugh:
 
we would direct snap the ball to Dwyer and let him run circles around everybody.
 
I suppose one thing you could do --supposing that the center is not one of the players coming on late (or I guess you could use any OL-man)-- is snap the ball, take a five yard penalty, bring your kicker on and go up seven (this isn't the 3rd OT is it?), or regroup and go for two from the seven.
 
Is the drop-kick legal in college, or is that only in the NFL?

Maybe im reading too much into the wording... but wouldnt attempting to call a timeout with none left result in a delay of game penalty?
 
Here's the thing, if I think I'm not going to be able to run the play because 7 seconds is not enough time to snap the ball, I'm taking the penalty and kicking the PAT.

But 7 seconds is a lot of time and unless you got a lot of motion going on, why can't you snap the ball?
 
This is the answer:

Take a delay of game and kick the PAT.

If a PAT isn't allowed because you're in the third overtime, then the answer is to take the delay of game and have your coach call in a pass play.
 
I go here to avoid all the crap in the GSU message board and what do I find. :(
