ISU beat OU last year during the regular season and lost to OU in the conference game.

I wish I could afford the tickets and my 85 year old father have the ability to travel. I’d take him in a heartbeat........ he’s been a Bama fan since he was a young man but he’s too old to go anymore

Ahhh I didn’t realize that. Guess that’s why they were expected to be a title contender this year. Why the falloff? Injuries?

It will. I hate to see him leave. His defense was about the only bright spot for Clemson this year.
Question now is who does Dabo replace him with?

Quoted:


Might not be the only coordinator Dabo is replacing this year.

Incorrect, if it was the same as other situations, then you would be down where you make contact with the ground…..but it isn’t like that.  

He also dipped his hips a little.  The rule doesn’t say it is downed when you make contact with the ground, it is where you start the action.

Ball Declared Dead
ARTICLE 3. A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound their whistle or declare it dead:
a. When it goes out of bounds other than a kick that scores a field goal after
touching the uprights or crossbar; when a ball carrier is out of bounds; or when a ball carrier is so held that their forward progress is stopped. When in question, the ball is dead (A.R. 4-2-1-II).
b. When any part of the ball carrier’s body, except the hand or foot, touches the ground or when the ball carrier is tackled or otherwise falls and loses possession of the ball as they contact the ground with any part of their body, except the hand or foot [Exception: The ball remains alive when an offensive player has simulated a kick or at the snap is in postion to kick the ball held for a place kick by a teammate. The ball may be kicked, passed or advanced by rule] (A.R. 4-1-3-I).
c. When a touchdown, touchback, safety, field goal or successful try occurs; or when a free kick or a scrimmage kick that is untouched by Team B beyond the neutral zone touches the ground in Team B’s end zone (Rules 6-1-7-a, 6-3-9, and A.R. 6-3-9-I).
d. When, during a try, a dead-ball rule applies (Rule 8-3-2-d-5).
e. When a player of the kicking team catches or recovers any free kick or a
scrimmage kick that has crossed the neutral zone.
f. When a free kick, scrimmage kick or any other loose ball comes to rest and
no player attempts to secure it.
g. When a scrimmage kick or a free kick is caught or recovered by any Team B player after a valid or invalid fair-catch signal by a Team B player; or when an invalid fair-catch signal is made after a catch or recovery by Team B (Rules 2-8-1 through 3).
h. When there is a return kick or a scrimmage kick is made beyond the neutral zone.
i. When a forward pass is ruled incomplete.
j. When, before a change of team possession on fourth down or a try, a Team A fumble is caught or recovered by a Team A player other than the fumbler
(Rules 7-2-2-a and -b and 8-3-2-d-5).
k. When a live ball not in player possession touches anything inbounds other
than a player, a player’s equipment, an official, an official’s equipment or
the ground (inadvertent-whistle provisions apply).
l. When there is a simultaneous catch or recovery of a live ball.
m. Whentheballbecomesillegalwhileinplay(inadvertent-whistleprovisions
apply).
n. When a live ball comes into possession of an official (inadvertent-whistle provisions apply).
o. When a ball carrier simulates placing their knee on the ground.
p. When an airborne pass receiver of either team is held so that they are prevented from immediately returning to the ground (A.R. 7-3-6-III).
q. When a ball carrier’s helmet comes completely off.
r. When a ball carrier obviously begins a feet-first slide. (A.R. 4-1-3-III)

I would argue that if we can call it a fake slide, then obviously there were signs that it is the beginning of a slide….

Still the thing I hate about faking a slide is that it causes a judgement call by the players/refs that can lead to penalties or inadvertent stoppage.

Except I gave very solid arguments.

UGA lost to the only good team they played.
UGA is Bama’s bitch.

Ok, I'll bite.  Looking at Georgia's schedule this year, where are the 10 wins?  Keep in mind, now, Cincy struggled to beat Navy (3 wins), Tulsa (6 wins), Indiana (2 wins), and Tulane (2 wins).  That's four struggles against teams that won a total of 13 games, with none of them having winning records.

It is like that though. Some of you are trying to push the goal posts back for where a slide begins. Where is that going to stop? Oh he leaned back while he ran that was a fake slide call it dead?

The beginning of a feet first slide is the moment they actually are on the ground sliding. The "beginning" distinction is to spot the ball where they start sliding instead of where forward motion ceases.

The action is the slide itself. Not some body language leading up to that.

Bullshit.  They could have taken the same view of themselves as the rest of the NCAA.  The view that their entire conference is shit "off week" games for bigger conferences.  

If they took that view and scheduled their 4 out of conference games as 1 Big10, 1 Big12, 1 Pac12, and 1 SEC game they would have a good schedule.

lol

Michigan money line is +220

Quoted:


the problem is that everyone knows if the player (especially a qb) gets hit while he's on the way down in a slide but before he actually hits the ground the defense would get flagged.
