College plays week 1

WTF was the unnecessary roughness call on that pass for? Am I that far out of it that you can't hit a reciever after he touches the ball?

I honestly don't know that what the ruling was there????

I think they scheduled the fourth quarter to be two-hand touch.

**Wait, apparently that play is ok 5 minutes later when the game is probably out of reach.

Yeah that was bullshit.

No one talk to me.

Penguinfan · #4 09-05-09, 08:23 PM

For the record, I'm not complaining, I honestly don't understand the call.

It wasn't pass interference, it was a personal foul? You can't hit a guy as the ball gets there hard enoough to make him drop it in college anymore?

Pretty much that is the case. Don't hit him hard enough that he doesn't catch the ball.

Not sure about college, but the NFL has a new "defenseless receiver" hit rule this year. Ronnie Lott wouldn't have a career.

Add to this the "Brady Rule". Ugh. The feminizing of football continues. RIP Ronnie Lott, Jack Tatum, Charlie Waters and Fletcher "the stretcher" Smith.

To quote Jack Lambert "Why don't they just wear dresses?"

Ask Spuddy, IMO. And LOL at Lambert's quote.

Not the best start to the Penguinfan 2009 College plays thread, but I have faith you will turn it around. If not, I'll just start betting against your picks.

Careful, I have been out of the game for a bit. Give it till week three and yo should have a solid read as to weather or not to follow or fade.

I am good with whatever makes people some money.

I think TP was referring to me, not Spuddy (I'm the college football official so I think he's referring to me). Anyone have a youtube of the play in question?

My guess is leading with the helmet or perhaps "aiming" for the head, but if you can get a vid, I can break it down for you. Really cracking down on "defenseless players." Anything towards the head is going to get you 15. And remember, the coaches make these rules, NOT the officials. We just do our best to enforce them.

Well I believe the call was because he thought he was diving head first, and when you look at it from the sidelines, it did look like head driven tackle.

But in reality, he lifted his shoulder and put him down. Which is completely fine.

That's why Oklahoma States didn't get called for the penalty on the next possession in a similar situation. It was more clear that he lifted his shoulder.

None the less I think it's bullshit and if the dude's try to catch the ball I think you should be able to do whatever you want short of using a weapon to get him to drop it after he's got a hand on it.

If the defender fell also after the hit, or didnt celebrate a little afterward, pretty sure it wouldn't have been called. was horrible call
