Again, though...the likelihood of a person returning a missed FG for a TD is lower than a possible pick-6 or fumble recovery for a TD.

Also, the likelihood that the 57yd FG goes through the uprights (from a kid that was kicking 60+ yard field goals in warm ups) is higher than a TD on an offensive play, without the risk of injury to RB, WR, or QB.

Would kneeling and going to OT have been better? Maybe. But it's history now.

For sure. We haven't had a need for the Wild Turkey. Everything we need from it is in our base package. Moving forward though, it will be nice to have a change up.

Yeah, Barry Switzer did it with Jimmy Johnson's team.

In the same vein, Larry Coker won a NC with Butch Davis's team.

James Anderson and Darryl Tapp. Both immensely popular as people, not just athletes.

I always bring this story up, but I was at the fall 05 graduation when Tapp walked across the stage. That is still the only commencement ceremony that I've attended during which the proceedings had to stop because the person whose name was called received a standing ovation.

You couldn't stop them all day either! OSU had something rediculous like 8 yards a carry. Win the game now, and don't even give them the chance to recover.

John Engelberger would have to be on this list.

He is the standard bearer for the Legend of the Hokie Walk-on.

Kenny Lewis Jr may have to be on the list - because of all of his medical hardships, fans wanted to see him on the field.

Fair point. It all really just comes down to how conservative-risky a person is.

It would be interesting to see the percentage of 2 pt conversions that are successful, in combination with the percentage of 1st and goal from inside the 3 yd line that results in a TD on first down.

I heard he "committed" as a walk-on. Haven't seen it become the official word yet.
