That blocked field goal never should have happened. If you watch it, one of the Wolverines on the left side (where the App. State defender came from who blocked the kick) fucked up his assignment. The coaches ALWAYS, ALWAYS teach you on the field goal unit to take your first step INSIDE (so your feet form a wide base) so you don't get beat there. You always make the defender(s) go around you to the outside, because they won't get to the holder in time. If they get inside of you, they'll be there quicker than you can say "crap". The player stepped to the OUTSIDE instead because that's where the guy on his head was. If he just stepped inside, that guy on his head would have had to go around him to the outside and the guy who blocked the kick never would have gotten through that open hole because he would have run into the guy who was blocking instead. That's just a stupid fundamental error on the Wolverines' part.

Now, obviously it's not a given that the kicker even makes the field goal, but the kick would have gotten off clean and had a chance if he just did what he was taught.

How about that DeSean Jackson (Cal's punt returner)? What a sick return.
