If the league doesn’t police it, unplanned chaos will find its way in. The Refs have had this issue for over 100 years. Surely any chaos has already inflicted us.

September 16, 20241 yr This one pisses me off the most right now. Spotted 2 and half yards short of where the ball is.

Surely any chaos has already inflicted us. while true, the first 90 years didnt have single games with literally millions of dollars at stake, thinking in terms of college football playoff implications, NLI money, Coaches bonuses, and yes, maybe even sports gambling (although obviously gambling probably had millions on the line 10 years ago) I really dont understand why Beemer didnt pop off about the refs, because they got absolutely jobbed out of a for-sure pick 6 (the "roughing the passer" after the INT bullshit), and that god awful OPI.

September 16, 20241 yr Shouldn't the hit on the LSU QB have been a personal foul since the INT had already taken place? It happened after change of possession so I don't see why it nullified the INT.

If the QB threw a pick, and then during the return someone had an illegal hit/block, I don't see how on earth the interception gets wiped out. The return for TD, sure. But to negate the entire play? Why isn't this being talked about more?

September 16, 20241 yr But I'm still looking for OPI on that other call in that game. That one was indefensible from every replay I've seen, even considering they may have announced the wrong number.

No flag on that. So what should've been offsetting penalties was the penalty on UK alone. It wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game most likely but bullshit is bullshit. Well there was the unsportsmanlike on Kentucky where he drove the guy down and tackled him blocking. It could have been both ways, but probably should have been just on UK. But after that was over a different Georgia player comes over and shoves the UK player down right by the refs. That should definitely been unsportsmanlike, but they didn't call it. 6 hours ago, MonkeyDoughnut said: More annoying is really starting to see a concerted effort by broadcasters/commentators to back the refs and paint whatever picture is needed to support the ref calls even in cases where it seems obvious they got it wrong.

QB was GOING AFTER THE RUNNER, and the DT shoved him on his right shoulder pad with 2 hands, he didnt hit him with his body, he was clearly facing the QBs front, so its not a block in back, its not a hit to head or neck area, its a fucking block that applied enough impact to take the QB out of the play. 55 minutes ago, satyanash said: and I completely missed the Georgia facemask call last night, i must have been away from the TV, but the mans helmet is ripped off and a facemask isnt called on that player?? I mean holy fuck thats a 30 yard mistake by the refs there.... applying 15 yards to the offense, instead of 15 to the defense with the fresh set of downs. thats inexcusable

Aggy was something like 2nd and 35 and it gave them a first down, then scored a TD afterwards. It is absolutely targeting since 2022. official needs 3 things to call targeting. 1. Is the player defenseless? 2. Is there an indicator? 3. Was the crown of the helmet used to make forcible contact on the opponent, or, if the player was defenseless, do we have forcible contact above the shoulders? Indicators per the NCAA rulebook Launch: A player leaving his feet to attack by upward thrust of the body in the head or neck area. Crouch: A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to the head or neck area, even though both feet are still on the ground. Leading with the helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack the head or neck area forcibly. Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet. Bottom line - good call, correct call for aggy
September 16, 20241 yr Yes, it's kind of a tough call for the defender because the receiver was in the air, but this is another targeting call that exists to protect the defender, not the offensive player. Edited September 16, 20241 yr by Huckleberry
September 16, 20241 yr For sure the flag was thrown on the South Carolina defender because of the Latin American Futbol style embellishment by Nuss. That being said, you cannot go head hunt the QB after a turnover and players know that and any good team gets that coached into them. You could tell the defender knew he was right on the line when he threw his hands up to say “I didn’t do anything!” which actually means I did something but please don’t throw a flag on me. Just stay away from hitting the QB. Nuss was not about to tackle anyone. You put yourself in that position needlessly if you do that.
September 16, 20241 yr It was less confusing when they had a separate call for spearing that was not a part of the targeting call. But yeah, spearing is still against the rules and the rule exists to discourage defensive players from lowering their heads and causing injury to themselves. I

September 17, 20241 yr Watched the ‘69 Arkansas game for the hell of it the other night. It was beautiful. No bringing out the chains. No “WAS HIS KNEE DOWN BEFORE CROSSING THE PLAIN”. No intention roughness. Non of that crap. Just line up and play. Refs were basically invisible as they should be. It was very refreshing. Then I watched the aggy-Florida game Saturday and it was a non stop flag fest. Just awful.
