What about the substitution rule? Since MN is subbing, should the refs allow the defense to sub as well or does that not apply to bringing on the field goal unit there?Just to clear up some 1st half Goperhole confusion as to why Minn kicked a field goal after the Hail Mary. Minnesota had no timeouts and by rule with less than 3 seconds remaining on the clock, they were not allowed to spike the ball. As the clock would start when the ball was ready for play, there was not enough time to call a play.
Therefore, kicking the field goal was the only option.
