Same here. Ridiculously bad officiating.

Could this be Superior SEC officiating?***

On replay he was very near line when ball was thrown***

Not the qb thom. The linemen who caught the ball was 10 yards down the field when it was thrown. At the time the ball is thrown that is illegal linemen down field.

Hmm, I must've been looking at it incorrectly then


Jan 3, 2012, 9:58 PM

On replay it really looked to me like the line held near the LOS until the ball was thrown.

I could be wrong

So a linemen ran 10 yards in .6 seconds? Nice. Those guys are the quickest linemen i have ever seen

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


The play picked up 11 yards.


Jan 3, 2012, 10:01 PM

4 to 5 after he caught the pass.

The holder was about 10 yards behind the LOS and through a rainbow/duck which was deflected back toward the LOS.

Again, maybe I'm wrong, but thats how I saw it.

The play gained 11 yards. The pass was thrown 15 yards and caught at 11. By rule that would mean those linemen ran faster the football that was caught?

Don't think so. I think you did see that wrong.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


My first though was he was downfield illegally.


Jan 3, 2012, 10:06 PM

The replay really looked like the whole line held, but I may have seen it wrong, or the ESPN line on the field may not have been in the right place. I can't replay where I am to check.

But it's not outside the realm of possibility for the OL to travel 5 or 6 yards during the time a pass is rainbowed and then deflected back up and toward the LOS.

But without watching replay again I can't tell for sure.

2025 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Just found a replay


Jan 3, 2012, 10:28 PM

Not the best angle. but here it is:
http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/1/3/2680756/michigan-field-goal-fake-blocked-sugar-bowl-video

Can't see the lineman at the exact time it is thrown down field, but when he comes back into view (and the ball is past him down the field) he is on the near side of the 15 yard line which is at most 4 yards downfield.

So, since by rule he could legally be 3 yards downfield without it being a penalty it makes it close at best.

To be honest, I'm pretty sure it looked that way because the entire line was running down field haha.

I think the kicker was moving b4 the snap, too. Plus,


Jan 3, 2012, 9:57 PM

on the play before the FG, his knee was down so the clock should have run, meaning the last two secs should have ticked off.

Jan 3, 2012, 10:11 PM

I saw the kick moving also. They may have 1 player moving in the backfield but he cannot be moving forward. I said at the begining that he was moving forward and it should have been illegal procedure.
