SEC coaches say ND/FSU call was correct!

[PalsPal]

Spurrier (and you know he hated the call was made)

"What receivers are supposed to do is go in there and stop. If you do that, then the refs will let you do it," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said. "But it appeared the Notre Dame kid blocked him the whole way. We tell them to stop in the path of the other guy and they'll have to go around you. But it looked like he blocked his way off."


Richt

"There are certain angles you can take to run routes that might cut a guy off at the pass and force him to go over the top or underneath you," Georgia coach Mark Richt said Sunday. "I think you can do that very legally, but you definitely can't just go down the field and start blocking people and throw the ball past the line of scrimmage."

I dont disagree with the call. The part that is questionable to me about it is if it had been FSU driving for the score to win the game, would the same call had been made if they had done it? Really, nobody knows because it didnt happen that way but id say probably not.

 

[Vermin93]

That makes two more people who haven't watched the video from the back of the endzone and have therefore unknowingly tried to justify a terrible call.

The FSU defenders could have been untouched and would not have made a play because they totally blew the coverage and completely took themselves out of the play without the help of the ND receivers. The OPI flag should absolutely not have been thrown under such circumstances, it wouldn't have been thrown if FSU was on offense, and the refs missing the obvious personal foul when the FSU defender took off his helmet makes it even worse.

Notre Dame won the game. ND 7-0.

Both the outside receivers set picks to help to clear the receiver to run a short out underneath. I would almost put #3 at TE since he did such a good job hooking the DB and pinning him to the inside. Just think what he could do on the DE on running plays.

Also I will let you in on another little secret. You know why the refs called/caught it??? ND ran it earlier for a TD and got away with it and I'm sure the FSU coaches complained at that time and gave the refs a heads up. I guess ND went to the well too many times. That's football and I hate FSU....

That's all folks...

You see, this is what I'm talking about....the ND haters aren't watching what actually happened.

ND #7, ND #20 and ND #88 were the receivers in on the play. There was no ND #3.

I do not get how you can ignore FSU #3 clearly lunging inside to jump the route and take himself out of the play before he even makes contact with ND #7.

ND 7-0.

Okay, okay, okay!!! Vermin, I've had about enough. If you don't stop this nonsense I'm going to have to remove you from my watch list !!!

It's becoming clear to me that some of you haven't watched the movie Rudy enough times.

My bad.... #3 was the guy being hooked by ND # 7... # 7 for ND needs to be the TE.... You had two guys picking for ND. Yes I'm a Gator fan that hates FSU but ND ran a two man pick to clear the underneath guy. They got caught because they did it too many times on scoring plays.

You can trust me that I hate FSU way more than ND but I'm not going to close my eyes because I wanted ND to win.

 

[Hangnail]

I read somewhere that the Noles' coaches wore the refs out at halftime about the first scoring pick. I hate where college football and football in general is going with the offense being the focal point of the game.

 

[Mudbone]

Vermin, I'm a huge ND fan, but they are 6-1. They aren't out of it. Like you said, on to the playoffs.

 

[gator-n-buck]

these guys are blocking and the only time you can get away with that is if the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage. A "pick" is worth a thousand words.... every team has plays where it's done but you can only run it once a game before the refs are notified by the other team. We called it rubbing in the ole days...

 

[Mudbone]

Boom!

From an ND fan.

Defensive holding. They are being held on their pass routes. ND #7 is trying to get around FSU #3, who jumped the route inside. FSU #8 bear-hugged ND #20. Still photos can be highly misleading. FSU #26, who had ND #88, was hopelessly out of the play from the start because of how the 3 FSU defenders decided to man-up. Has to be one of the top 5 worst flags of the year.

 

[Hangnail]

Since offensive players can grab a defensive player's jersey to block, how would the defensive player get out off the block without grabbing the offensive player and throwing his arse out of the way? That's pretty much the only way to do it when you're wanting to go side to side instead of upfield.

Look at it this way, if the call had been made when it should have been the first time for a ND score, this last one wouldn't have mattered. That was easy.

Here's the video... ND players drove into the DBs. He hooked/pinned the DB to the inside. Kelly didn't look to surprise on the sideline during the call.... I wonder why???

[Vermin93]

So we have the one flag that shouldn't have been thrown on ND and the other flag that should have been thrown on the FSU DB who took his helmet off right after he got burned on the play. The ACC refs have had to admit they should have thrown that flag.

Worst case it should have been 1st and 10 on the 9 yard line with 13 seconds left. Even in that scenario ND would have still won the game.

Oh my...I had no idea we had a member here who knows more than the game officials, several veteran sports reporters, and Spurrier and Richt.

FYI...ND did not win Saturday night. FSU (a team I can't stand) won it.

Wow.. Talk about sour grapes. :cry:

GnB, you might as well be showing O.J.'s jury a video of him killing Nicole and Ron. It isn't going to change anything, so laugh and have some fun with it.

 

[Vermin93]

Excellent video analysis by The Big Lead that corroborates my observations about the bad call. Should be mandatory reading and viewing for Spurrier and Richt.

[Hangnail]

Let it go man. You need to worry more about ND's best win being over a three loss Stanford. The good thing about the Fla.St. loss is it might help ND avoid a massive blowout loss in another bowl game. See? Feeling better already, huh...

Lol @ mandatory for two big time SEC coaches who could teach The Big Lead a lot about football.

This article and the video of the ACC official clearly explaining why the call was right should be mandatory reading/listening/watching for Brian Kelly and a few million ND fans.

This may explain why programs outside the south lag so far behind. They're still trying to learn the basics of football... kids in the south learn this in the 6th grade.
