That first one should have been a penalty for too many men, or an illegal substitution, with all the coaches who poured onto the field telling guys to grab the ball.

That first video with the blocked Field Goal was NOT a Touchdown. The player who picked up the ball #87, when he picked up the ball his knee was on the ground so the play should have been dead at that point.

I saw the second video a week or so ago. I still can't believe the coaches had two guys back to "field" the field goal.

really---what is the benefit of having those guys there? if the field goal is short--can the kicking team DO ANYTHING with the ball to get points out of it????--except have the other team do the only it could--which was what it actually did.

a return by either of them is useless as, if is short, the game is already won.

perplexing to say least.

Exactly, Leon Lett anyone? If you do not learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.

I'd have to guess the coach had those two guys back there in case the offensive team tried to run a fake FG. It was going to be what.. a 46 yarder? not many high school kids can make that kick.
The kid in the end zone got cute and caught the FG to show off to suzy rottencrotch in the stands.
