re: Wonder what Gus's plan was if he recovered that onside kick?

quote:

---

With less than 20 seconds left what do you do, hail mary to the endzone, go for 2 and try for another onside kick or was he gonna use one pass to get in field goal range and then cut the deficit to single digits so the loss didn't look so bad?

I tried doing the math.

Took two seconds for the onside kick.

18 seconds left.

Say 10 seconds for the snap, the scramble, the launch and catch.

8 seconds left.

Go for two.

8 seconds left.

Get 2nd onsides kick.

6 seconds left.

One hail mary as time expires.

So it was possible. Would have beaten the kick 6 if it happened.
