I watch a lot of Rugby League (slightly different code to the Rugby people think about) and short kick-offs go exactly like this. High bombs off the kicking tee. The thing is, there is no fair catch, and the onside kick success rate is probably 40%. I used to wonder why nobody would try this, especially given there are so many Australians playing as kickers in the US, but my guess is this is the reason - They are all coached that they can fair catch in that situation.

Not every such kick is a “bloop”, arcing a relatively short distance off the tee, or off the bounce from the ball’s first strike on the ground. Some “onside” kickoffs instead skip low along the ground, and once the ball has bounced •twice•, a fair catch is not permitted.

There are rules around what has to happen before the kicking team can legally touch the ball so most onside kick attempts follow them. That's why most onside kicks will have the ball dribble or bounce twice so the rules that apply in this play are not a factor. This would have been fine if there were no receiving team players in position to catch it or he let the ball hit the ground first and then recovered. The fair catch signal only protects the receiver AFTER he completes the catch. Nothing changes on this play with no fair catch signal.

The commentator got it wrong - the ball never bounced, which is why he can call for the fair catch. The ball is rotating backwards. If it had bounced, it would be rotating forwards.

Gundy and OK State are under appreciated. Seems like they’re solid year in and year out.

extra laps for the kicker who lofted the ball in the air instead of kicking down and bouncing it off the ground like you are supposed to do. Game stick for the receiver for having his head in the game, knew the rules, and made a clutch decision.

That’s brilliant! I’ve never seen this!

I’m not sure if what the announcer said about the high bounce kicks is true, but it shouldn’t matter in this case. The kicker kicks the ball upwards straight off the tee. It’s a fair catchable ball regardless.

Seems the NCAA changed the Rule in 2018, and One Bounce, into the Air, then Fair Catch is true. Crazy!

Wow-- what a call- great Heads up play

That's great awareness and coaching.

For blind Thomases like me, the fair catch is at the bottom of the screen by the player on the 50-yard line at 0:45

The real question is, why is Texas Tech doing an onside kick in the first quarter up by 7?

Tech is the fastest team in Big 12, and they wanted to steal a possession to force OSU to play catch-up all game long. As it was, Tech had over 100 offensive plays in the game.

Good call by a good coach. Way to go Gundy and crew

That ball never touched the ground. It was just a chip shot by the kicker and #22 made an awesome fair catch decision.

Wow! What a call! It's too bad the cameraman didn't get a better shot of it or even did it in slow motion one frame at a time!

You can call a fair catch only if the ball is kicked upwards or directly downwards and has bounced only once. If it bounced further away from the kick line or bounces twice after the first bounce is directly after the kick, you can not call a fair catch.

Of course you can and it should not be taken off. No matter if the kick is 10 yards or 50 yards, you can call an onside. Difference is the bouncing ball which can not be called as a fair catch.

I would prefer if on all *live ball* kicks (so kickoffs and free kicks) that there just wasn’t a catch condition, but only a contact condition for what cannot be done when a fair catch is called

This is an obvious play in a straight up onside situation. In a surprise onside situation its a fantastic play. Awesome job.

I did this once in a game when I was a kid and the other team leveled me. Blew the strap and ear pieces off my helmet 😆 I was called a few choice words as well.

This is the reason most onside kicks never loop. If it doesn't hit the ground, the receiving team can call for a fair catch. To offset that, the kicker usually kicks a dribbler, hoping for a looping bounce.

It didn’t bounce, it was kicked in the air. Smart play.

@GetSoberWithMe

Kicking team knows to put the ball into the ground so he knew not to kick it in the air like that to give em a chance to call that fair catch

For everyone saying this eliminates the onside kick, it doesn't. But it does reduce the odds of recovering one from about 5% to 1%. Now the kicking team must roll the ball 10 yards, which is harder to recover than a jump ball, or they can still pooch it in the air, either by bouncing it or popping it up off the tee, and hope the receiving team is caught off guard and forgets to call a fair catch. The latter option likely wouldn't work when the receiving team is expecting it, like at the end of the game, but it might work in the first quarter. I understand the changes to the onside rules (no overloading one side, kicking team can call fair catch on a high bounce) are there for players safety, but it sucks that the odds of recovering an onside kick are so low that it takes away much of the suspense. I think the best strategy for the kicking team now is to have the kicker line drive the ball off the closest and fattest guy on the receiving team, and have it ricochet back.

As a former kicker that's why you never kick it like that on an onsides. You bounce it off the dirt, ideally getting it either multiple bounces or one larger bounce about 7-8 yards deep. What he did basically was pooch kick it and you absolutely never do that unless you're supposed to, and at that, put it much further back.

That's a knowing the rules moment

@Kylora2112

It does. You can signal fair catch on any kick on the fly. This is why you drill the kick into the turf instead of trying to pooch kick it on an arc.

Lol. At first I'm like, yeah this can't be real. There's no way an onside kick travelled through the air at least 10 yards. No kicker can be THAT stupid. Well, I was proven wrong. That's some brilliant football IQ man. Great stuff.
