Long Snapper Melts Down To Lose his Team the Game

Literally such a bad melt down it circles back around into a legendary one!

[@bigpoppa1234]

Punter's fault by not adjusting to go another 15 yards back and 5 to the right.

[@12345.......]

Ha! Right!?

[@ob_weirdo0weirdo874]

NOT

I was at this game and this might have been the craziest thing I had ever seen. On his 5th try he got it and the entire crowd let out a huge groan as the punter finally caught the ball. Montanna State won by 5. The LS won the cats the game.

The second 2 are on the coach

[@nicford1486]

There is a point where a player is so rattled and confidence lost that he is not coming back from it for that game. A coach 100% has the responsibility to take care of his players, pull em and let em live another day. Reminds me of an Alabama kicker from the Mike Shula era against Arkansas. Might of been Tiffin. Missed like 4 easy FG's.

[@blueleader392]

probably didnt bring a back up. its not a position where you normally need a backup

[@shavedwolf87]

@@blueleader392 After the second one, they should have brought in the center. I know a LS is a different positions and an art in itself, but the center would have done better.

A friend of mine was a long snapper back in the nineties. He tells of a road game on an artificial surface where he was just fine warming up, but on the first snap to the punter in-game he launched it WAY long. That's when he realized the field had a grain. He had warmed up against the grain, so each snap took more effort to get on target. For the real thing, he was going with the grain. He adjusted after that one bad one, though. I doubt that explains four launches in one game.

[@iwantmoney1239]

Im not long snapper but im confused how that had anything to do with the snap. They literally lift the ball and throw it between their legs. Much different than a center who drags the ball on the ground. Did the center also have trouble snapping the ball or did your friend just make up a dumbass excuse?😂

[@xhappybunnyx]

might be related to this; especially if each poor on-field performance was followed by dialing it back in on the sidelines with a potentially perpendicular grain, then rinse and repeat without the 'Ohhh' moment

Weber State is pronounced “WE” (like, “We need to find a new long snapper”); then “brrrr” (like, “Brrrr, it’s cold outside; hopefully the long snapper doesn’t mess up four times in one game”).

This makes him a Rock Star on LinkedIn. Let’s face it. He wasn’t playing on Sunday’s. Ever. Go Grant! You are one of us!!! And take heart. NOBODY has ever dominated a game like you did!

[@IRanOutOfPhrases]

He did great and all, but you could tell he was fatigued after the first two. Maybe the third gets out all on its own, but he definitrly needed the punter to boot that ball out for him. But seriously, I feel terrible for that long snapper. I cant imagine what that must be like. Hope he's not too hard on himself for it

"You have been removed for the game for excessive penalties"

Technically he didn't break the record by himself, the fourth safety was (directly) caused by the punter kicking the ball out of the back of the end zone to avoid the defense recovering it for a touchdown.

I know it's the guys fault for those over the head snaps but two of those were safeties because the counter did put enough effort into actually getting the ball back, like the last one he literally kicks it out the back of the end zone and the other he just dives and slides with the ball out of bounds 💀

I had this happen to me in the first game of my senior year. Work your ass off all offseason, and your long snapper snaps FOUR inside your 20. Unfortunately in our case none of those ended up as safeties and we gave up 4 touchdowns off those snaps. Never even gave ourselves a chance.
