If anything is going to ruin college football, it won't be the money or playoffs. It will be these bullshit, random reviews to look for penalties. Why even bother having refs on the field if some jackass upstairs is just going to stop play when he wants? Just let the booth ref the damn game. And if the excuse is the human refs can't catch everything then why not review holding, PI calls? Cause they damn sure miss those.

Absolutely.  Stopping play to review for a targeting that wasn't flagged is complete bullshit.  If it was up to me the booth would only be allowed to stop the game for reviews on scoring plays, change of possession plays or the automatic reviews of targeting flags.  That encompasses the biggest plays most likely to determine the outcome of the game.  Give each head coach two challenge flags for all other plays and if they win both they're allowed to keep challenging until they lose a challenge.  They keep fucking with the rulebook to make games shorter and fit in more commercials when fixing replay is the easiest way to shorten games while also improving the on-field product.

Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman has been cleared to return to action, the school announced Tuesday.

Hartman, a three-year starter, was sidelined last month with what the school termed a "non-football injury." Tuesday, Wake Forest acknowledged Hartman was diagnosed with Paget-Schroetter syndrome -- also known as effort thrombosis -- a blood clot often associated with repeated strenuous activity.

Hartman underwent surgery on Aug. 9 to have the clot removed, and a follow-up ultrasound Friday confirmed he had no signs of additional clotting.

"This process has made me appreciate all the people at Wake Forest University and around our football program for how they care for us," Hartman said. "There will be time for me to tell my complete story, but right now I am really just excited to get back on the field with my teammates."

I also posted this, and made some additions, concerning the State Pen at Auburn game last week.

 

Harsin better get his head out of his own ass. I was in Jordan-Hare Saturday and not a single fan in AU colors was happy. The offense was putrid and had not one bit of anything you could point to and say, “at least they do …… well”.
 

Not a thing.

The fellow sitting next to me said that he heard Harsin felt he had to give Finley one more chance to prove he can be the QB, he didn’t prove it, so maybe that’s part of what was happening. But, Tank had just five carries in the first half and State Pen’s defensive front ran circles around the OL.

Until late in the third quarter Auburn had more yards, more first downs, more time of possession, as well as more turnovers. The Tigers had four for the game. They also had three first & goals, two from the 10 and one from the eight. Those resulted in six points.

It was just horrible. Jokingly I said to some friends that Finley, and just about every other big, strong & somewhat athletic black kid lined up at QB is cursed by Cam Newton's 2010 season. Everyone keeps looking for that season to be caught in a bottle for the "next" guy. It's not happening because Newton's 2010 season was one for the ages, Just as Vince Young's national championship season. Watching Finley run, it looks like he is running in sand, and It's awful. 

Then, to make matters worse, we were brave enough to look up Bo Nix's stats from the Oregon game Saturday and he played pretty well. No, I am not pining for Bo Nix to be the starter at Auburn. He is extremely limited but, maybe Oregon sees that better than Harsin and is not asking him to do what he can't, which looks like he has asked Finley to do what he can't. 

 

A lot to fix and very little time to complete that mission, especially now that UGa is winning like Bama. After Missouri this week there is LSU, #1 UGa, #16 Ole Miss, #10 Arky, Miss. State, #23 Aggie, and the Iron Bowl with #2 Bammer.
 

One thing you can always depend upon, especially when Alabama is good, is AU boosters and administrators overreacting in a negative way.

LSU slapped on the wrist 

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34643133/ncaa-places-lsu-football-probation-accepts-self-imposed-penalties-recruiting-violations

The NCAA placed LSU's football program on one year of probation and issued a three-year show cause against a former assistant coach, who it says admitted to meeting with a prospect and giving him team gear during a COVID-19 recruiting dead period.

The Tigers said they fired offensive line coach James Cregg for cause in June 2021 after he admitted violating NCAA rules. On Aug. 25, a Louisiana judge awarded him nearly $500,000 after ruling that LSU had terminated his contract without cause. At the time, the university said it planned to appeal the judge's ruling.

NCAA reportedly considering re-starting clock after incomplete passes

An increase in pass plays has correlated to an increase in game length.

ZACH BARNETT     SEP 26, 2022

The typical FBS game is taking three hours and 22 minutes to complete, a 4-minute increase from 2017. 

According to a report from Seth Emerson of The Athletic, NCAA officials have pinpointed the cause of ever-lengthening games, and it's not replay or TV timeouts. 

Officials believe an increase in pass plays is what is stretching games longer and longer, and so a proposed solution would be to treat incomplete passes like plays where the ball runs out of bounds -- the clock stops only until the ball is set for play, at which point it runs again, except for in the final two minutes of the first half and the final five minutes of the game. 

However, the numbers cited in the article point to a different solution. 

Teams are passing more because they're getting better at it. The typical FBS game includes 23.9 incompletions per game, compared to 27.9 twenty years ago. (Rushes per game are down to 74.6, down from 79 in 2002.)

The median FBS offense is completing 63 percent of its passes so far this season, compared to 58.3 percent in 2009 (the earliest date on record in the CFBStats database.) 

As such, first downs are at an all-time high: 43.4 per game, compared to 40.9 in 2012 and 39.5 in 2002.

The obvious solution seems to be to adopt NFL-style game management rules, a limited number of replay stoppages and a rolling clock after first downs. 

Yet Steve Shaw, the NCAA's coordinator of officials, doesn't seem interested in either option. 

NCAA data says replay only adds four minutes per game, and the quote below indicates, if left up to Shaw, the NCAA would sooner re-start the clock after incompletions than first downs -- even though there are 20 more first downs than incompletions per game.

“Even though you think, ‘Man you’d save 10 seconds every first down,’ you really probably won’t,” Shaw told The Athletic. “That probably won’t have as big an impact as re-starting it after incompletions.”

Horrible idea.
