Chase McGrath - I should have known...

[JohnD13]

Should have known after the missed XP he’d bounce back to kick a game winner. Shades of James Wilhoit 2004 vs the Gators.

Congrats young man!! And thank you!!

I called in the game thread right after he missed!!

Well I’m pretty sure they got a hand on it which is why it was so ugly.

It wasn’t touched. Chase started his approach too early, had a stutter step and hit too much of the fat part of the ball. Lucky it got high enough but wasn’t deflected

I was certain that kick was going to fall short. Then I saw the refs raise their arms.

I was 25 yards away and I wasn't sure until the refs raised their hands.

I still think 47 touched it. It’s spinning end over end like normal then changes flight pattern at his hands.

If you watch it in slo mo you can see #47's fingers flip as he touches the ball

Imagine being an Ole Miss fan right now and pulling for Alabama in this game. Absolute smooth brain stuff lol

Weird because Kiffin was pulling for Tennessee.

One of the most beautiful kicks I’ve ever soon.

soon.

The Ghost of General Neyland not only trips people, but also helps push duck kicks over lol

That’s the mentality of Ole Miss fans.

 

[Volman065]

Pretty sure it was partially blocked but stil somehow made it through

Entire state of TN willing it through the uprights lol

 

[FranklinVFL]

That ball would not have made it from one yard further.

That being said, he didn’t have to kick it one yard further.

The Wrath of McGrath!

 

[Volfan574]

That was probably the most nervous McGrath has ever been in his life. That wobbler was the perfect way to end this game.

#47 got fingertips on it

On the replay looking back at McGrath it appears to me it was slightly deflected. That is the only time I have seen that angle so far.

Totally agree. Didn’t notice it last night, but when I rewatched it today my son, who we call eagle eye, brought that to our attention. After I told my wife it was an ugly kick, my son said that’s because it was partially blocked. Sure enough rewinding it a few times it sure looks like he got his fingertips on it.

Really cool to hear how close Chase and Velus were. Roomies at USC for 2 years. Velus is the one we can thank for this assassin.
