Title: As bad as that on-side recovery was
Post by: BanditVol on September 25, 2022, 08:51:50 EDT
I'm just glad no. 6 made the tackle, as he was the only defender that could do so  :crazy:

Or is there a rule that it can't be advanced?

It seems there is. 

This site claims that between 2014-2000, 23.8% of onside kicks were recovered.  That's almost one in four.  Much higher than I would have thought.

The rule is that you can't advance it
See our onsides recover against Indiana in the Gator Bowl

The rule used to be different,  didn't it?  Coulda swore Bret Smith returned one years ago for a TD against... USCjr maybe?

In 2004. The receiving team can advance the ball; it’s only the kicking team that cannot.

Thank you for referencing Bret Smith. That play came to mind, and I was unsure of the rule.
