Florida, shut up, the correct call was made.

What's ironic to me is that in college, when a player's knee is on the ground, and he's got possession of the ball, the player is ruled "down".

A WR that catches a ball on his knees is down even if no defender is there to contact him.

This play that we've used, what? 3 times now? sorta goes against the "rules" of the college game as the holder is already down on one knee when he makes the flip.

It's worked awesome for us, but I'm just curious as to how it's even allowed? Not that I'm complaining.

 

Brantley stood there like a statue on the Florida 1, and the momentum of the sack took him into the end zone. Forward progress puts him at the 1, no safety. Correct call.

 

where was the ball though?

 

There's really no team I like beating that Florida. Urban Meyer is a poor sport and a HORRIBLE administrator (how many players get "suspended" only to be sure to be on the field for the next big game?).

For that particular play, when there's THAT much intent to hurt your opponent and it's THAT late, the offending player ought to be ejected from the game in addition to the 15-yard penalty.

There's just no need/excuse for that.

 

the holder is the exception to that rule. if his knee leaves the ground, then touches the ground again while he is in possession of the ball, he is down.

 

In his hand? He didn't fumble.

 

i know he didn't fumble, but he could have been standing on the line and the ball and his hand be in the endzone. i just don't remember..

 

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Not sure I understand what you mean here. The 45 and 40 are parallel as well. The line runs straight through the hashes. :huh:

 

Agree with all. SEC officials still suck.

If that's the case though, wouldn't the play be blown dead before the kicker kicked it on legitimate FG attempts? I think the holder is the only exemption.
