  1. Did he have possession before going out?
  2. Two offenses really good at going backwards right now.
  3. You'd prefer inaudible booing? Like some aggressive sign language?
  4. Ok. Now you have to call roughing just because.
  5. Uh, really? Running into?
  6. I'm not sure why Georgia is trying to attack the edge. Notre Dame is crashing that hard. Too... Too soon.
  7. Kirby pulling from Sark's playbook.
  8. Good god, stop this. No it wasn't. Helmet to helmet doest not equal targeting God damn it.

    I think Golden has some argument for top portal pickup as well. He is our best receiver and without him we lose that game.
  10. Your money is on us outscoring an opponent in the second half? Interesting.
  11. Again, had Taaffe hit him with his shoulder it would have changed absolutely nothing about whether targeting should be called. Leading with the shoulder to attack the head or neck area is also targeting. He didn't attack, so it wasn't targeting. It shouldn't be called. But bad calls absolutely happen, which seems like a stupid thing to obsess over.
  12. You know that doesn't change the result, right? A hit by the shoulder in the head or neck area can still be targeting if there is an indicator. There is nothing special about the helmet other than the crown of the helmet.
  13. Oh, sure, it could have been called. Refs have been very inconsistent on that call. But it would have been a bad a call.
  14. No he didn't. The receiver did and their facemasks collided. He didn't lead with his helmet. He was heads up making a normal tackle. If he had lowered his head, absolutely it would have been targeting. You're just wrong. Deal with it.
  15. We have to be able to punish teams for slanting on our outside zone plays. Normally, you'd expect that punishment to come when they slant the wrong way and we bust one for a 75 yard TD. Neither Georgia or ASU ever guessed incorrectly, which means neither was guessing. That is our problem. We slightly seemed to address it in game by lining up in the pistol and then motioning the back late. That's why the run opened up a bit in the 4th.
  16. Yeah, the lawyer in me just looks at like elements. The hit by Taaffe met 1) forcible contact, 2) to the head and neck area, and 3) of a defenseless player. But it didn't meet the 4th element, an indication of targeting. I don't think 1-3 are debatable. And I don't think 4 is either. There was just nothing that he did that could be interpreted as targeting: on the other hand, the hit on Bond clearly met every element. Dude launched and led with his forearm into Bond's head or neck area.
  17. The read on the int wasn't bad. Bond was open. He puts some mustard on it and that is a TD. He threw slightly late and with not enough velocity.
  18. Yup. The obvious answer to them is, yes, you don't know what targeting is.
  19. Quinn either needed to throw it a beat earlier or put more heat on it. It was a bad throw.
  20. Absolutely should have been called there. Defenseless player. Forceful contact to the head and neck area. And every indication of targeting (i.e., indication of something more than a normal football play). He launched himself at Bond's head. I don't understand how that wasn't called.
  21. I mean, is there any rule we have to wear orange?
  22. He wouldn't fuck need it if he just kept playing. He should have intercepted that.
  23. Teams can cheat our run game based on alignment and slant into it. We started lining up in pistol and using motion to get set our RB in order to prevent them from doing it as easily. It worked a bit in the 4th. The real problem is why (1) we continue to ask our lineman to make blocks in space rather than fire off at smaller dlines, and (2) can't figure out a way to not tip our run plays. Our zone blocking scheme works great when our line is matched against power lines or equally athletic lines. When the other line is just quicker, the timing of everything gets blown up. It wouldn't be so bad if we could punish slanting dlines. For whatever reason, we can't.
