Helmet off penalty against Coburn

[Bevo14 8275]

What.the.fuck.

[immamac 42545]

It's a good rule. 

[Longhorn 145]

Should have been called on 92 when he late hit Sam. Should have been 2 flags on play.

[Sabalo 994]

Should have been called against Utah for grabbing his helmet. 

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

Otto Graham didn’t need a helmet!

[USNALonghorn 5024]

Such bullshit. Gifted them a TD.

[FloridaHorn 4735]

It’s a good rule, just unfortunate it bit us in the ass there.

[closetohumping 17408]

dumb

[Zavala 1384]

Quit complaining.

Our two best games were with neutral refs. Fuck the big 12

Which part? The rule or Coburn’s continued effort? 

[Jkwellborn 6656]

What a bs call. Should have been hands to the face before that and offset. I get the safety aspect, so I can’t complain about that. The didn’t review the bobbled td.

the rule, not figuring out that his helmet was ripped off.  I've seen offensive players continue to play with it ripped off.

Agree on the offsetting penalties, but I don’t call that a bobble. He was adjusting the ball, control was never in question. 

[4th&Five 41461]

Good rule. Never should have been called there. 

[Pato del Muerto 52351]

What constitutes continued participation?  Does he have to not move?  Run away from the ball?  It’s not like he made the tackle.

That’s the confusing part. Very much a judgement call.

If by this you mean LSU and Utah, both were SEC officials.

I'm pretty sure it's like cartoon freeze tag and he shouted "PJ Masks!" instead of "Catboy!" 

[campcrunk 2350]

Off setting calls seemed pretty clear there. And they should have looked at the Utah TD, though I'm not sure there's enough to overturn it. I would've at least liked to see it in slow motion.

 

All things considered, I'd say it was maybe a low-end "D minus" effort from the refs. That means it's probably about our best officiated game this year by quite a bit.

I agree, but it was a lot easier to see Coburn the giant running without his helmet than the hands to his face if someone didn't catch it in the moment. Of course, they could have reviewed it. All's well that ends well though.

[NoRagrets 1125]

Seems like the rule should punish the player not the team.

[sith_horn 2370]

The good news is, Texas handily won the game despite that call. And it's not like the refs didn't penalize Utah during the game. It wasn't a lopsided screw job by the refs.

[6th Street 6357]

So why not just rip the opposing players helmet off anytime?

[Armybrat 40751]

Bought Mrs. Brat a 25 ounce can of beer ($12) walking to our seats on the 50 yard line (section 337 row 4). She drank it before the end of the first quarter.

She never drinks beer at the Alamo Bowl, so I will give her credit for the win.

Typically results in a penalty.

Yeah.  But he didn't really participate.  He just kind of ran a little 5 yards away from any other player.

He definitely bobbled it.  But I think he got it back in control before stepping out of bounds.

Concur, he was 25 yards from the play & not engaged with any Utes.

I thought so too but watch the replay, he's literally 2 yards from the tackle and pushing a Ute in the back. lol

If the runner would have been held up for another second he damn sure would have. lol

If you think he bobbled it, then he didn’t get control before stepping out. One foot in and one foot out is out.

I actually thought he lost his helmet trying to make the tackle. Then they showed the replay.

[Reese Bennett 3605]

Coburn’s hat comes off a bunch. He needs a better, customized helmet and extra-strength chin strap.

[Tex Pete 20184]

And he also needs for opponents to not push it off his head by grabbing the face mask. That always helps.

I thought the same thing, and then it isn't offsetting it is just a penalty on the offense. Seemed pretty obvious the OL flipped his helmet off.

I thought hands to the face was supposed to be emphasized this year in the college game?

Good on the "The." Most don't know that this is a part of our official name. 

Article 7, Section 10 of the Texas Constitution:

"Sec. 10. ESTABLISHMENT OF UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS; AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT. The legislature shall as soon as practicable establish, organize and provide for the maintenance, support and direction of a University of the first class, to be located by a vote of the people of this State, and styled, "The University of Texas," for the promotion of literature, and the arts and sciences, including an Agricultural, and Mechanical department. (emphasis added)

aggy is a department of The University. Never let them forget that.
