Wasn't it a forward pass because the handoff was already forward?

11/8/2012 10:46:32 PM

^ handoffs are just handoffs. Think about flea-flickers

11/8/2012 10:49:04 PM

A handoff does not prevent a future forward pass. Relevant section of the rules.

Quote :

"Illegal Forward Pass ARTICLE 2. A forward pass is illegal if: a. It is thrown by a Team A player whose entire body is beyond the neutral zone when he releases the ball. b. It is thrown by a Team B player. c. It is thrown after team possession has changed during the down. d. It is the second forward pass during the same down. e. The passer to conserve time throws the ball directly to the ground (1) after the ball has already touched the ground; or (2) not immediately after controlling the ball. f. The passer to conserve time throws the ball forward into an area where there is no eligible Team A receiver (A.R. 7-3-2-II-VII). g. It is thrown from in or behind the neutral zone after a ball carrier has gone beyond the neutral zone. PENALTY [a-g]—Five yards from the spot of the foul; also loss of down if by Team A before team possession changes during a scrimmage down (A.R. 3-4-3-IV and A.R. 7-3-2-II) [S35 and S9]. h. The passer to conserve yardage throws the ball forward into an area where there is no eligible Team A receiver (A.R. 7-3-2-I). [Exception: If the passer is or has been outside the tackle box he may throw the ball so that it crosses or lands beyond the neutral zone or neutral zone extended (Rule 2-19-3) (A.R. 7-3-2-VIII). This applies only to the player who controls the snap or the resulting backward pass.] PENALTY—Loss of down at the spot of the foul [S36 and S9]."

I think it was the wrong call. FSU would have a semi-legitimate claim to protest this game result

Too bad for clemson

11/8/2012 10:54:37 PM

Maybe this has something to do with it. This is in the exception part.

that 2-point conversion/attempt was kind of irrelevant unless they think VT kicker's would miss an XP

11/8/2012 10:57:24 PM

I liked the defensive scheme VT was running until they gave up the TD

Would've rather seen receiver stop at the goal line and leave it to the kicker but idk

11/8/2012 10:57:26 PM

PREVENT DEFENSE

11/8/2012 10:59:31 PM

Lol whut

FSU gon get cherried

11/8/2012 10:59:41 PM

FSU can lose here if they play too soft.

11/8/2012 11:00:06 PM

not even close to in bounds but they'll say "not enough video evidence"

11/8/2012 11:00:19 PM

I'm not sure it can be overturned, but that shit was out

11/8/2012 11:01:13 PM

Cherry'd

11/8/2012 11:01:30 PM

Kind of need to see if the TE was an eligible receiver on the safety play. If he was covered up then it was the exact right call. Seeing as how it was a run, it's likely he was covered.

11/8/2012 11:01:34 PM

can't Cherry that shit

11/8/2012 11:01:52 PM

lolowned. wtf was that?

11/8/2012 11:01:57 PM

And Logan Thomas sucks

11/8/2012 11:01:58 PM

Thomased

11/8/2012 11:02:00 PM

Doesn't matter now but I don't think his heel ever went down

Looks like Syracuse is ready to join the fold of shitty ACC teams that kill the conferences only championship hopes

11/10/2012 2:15:27 PM

Renner lol

11/10/2012 2:47:06 PM

Holy fuck at the UNC/GT game. 58 - 50 GT at the start of the 4th quarter. They don't look to be slowing down either.

11/10/2012 3:21:13 PM

Jesus GT is gonna fuck it up.

11/10/2012 3:22:28 PM

UVA is pulling an NC State circa 2008

11/10/2012 3:24:45 PM

announcers for the kansas/tx tech game are totally floored that tech chose to play defense first in overtime

how do you hire announcers that don't know shit about the game?


also, i feel your pain ULL fans

[Edited on November 10, 2012 at 3:38 PM. Reason : a]

11/10/2012 3:34:37 PM

ULL and NC State both need to learn that you punt the damn ball OUT OF BOUNDS at the end of the game.

11/10/2012 3:44:54 PM

ULL may have tried, it was blocked & returned for a td

11/10/2012 3:46:11 PM

Ah ok, I only saw the play description as a return.

Point still stands for our shit team.

11/10/2012 3:48:47 PM

Oh yeh, I totally agree about the punting out of bounds part

11/10/2012 3:51:58 PM

How the fuck was Renner ever considered a mobile QB?? He barely has better mobility than Glennon...barely.

11/10/2012 3:59:56 PM

Russell Wilson died for our wins and rose on the 3rd day as a white man named Johnny Manziel

11/10/2012 4:06:58 PM

Johnny Football came to play, fucking ass To mouth is gonna be insufferable more so than ever if this score holds

11/10/2012 4:11:10 PM

I've got a man crush on Texas A@M's QB.

11/10/2012 4:54:50 PM

the TIDE is turning

11/10/2012 5:11:31 PM

these announcers seem to be openly cheering for Alabama

11/10/2012 6:21:40 PM

Gulf Coast media bias

11/10/2012 6:27:05 PM

11/10/2012 6:42:35 PM
