These guys are amazing.
Oklahoma was punting. 4th and a mile. The snap flew over the punter and and rolled toward the goal line. The punter chased the ball and tried to pick up a bounce. He missed, but a KSU guy fell on the ball.
Both announcers went out of their way to criticize the punter for trying to pick it up. It was a "terrible mistake" and similar statements. But it was clearly no harm no foul. It was 4th down. If he fell on it, Kansas State got the ball right there. That's exactly where the KSU guy fell on it. Sure, if KSU had picked up the loose ball and scored, that would have been the punter's fault. But that's not what happened.
I just wish these guys would think for a second before they put their mouths in gear. You would like to think that somebody would point out their errors over the headset.
