It not just Venables, Dabo has stacked the coaching staff with a bunch of inexperienced former players. 

Yep, this. It's all about his guys and his culture. However, it's not actually about the protection of the program; rather, it's about his self-righteous ego.  It'll be his downfall.

Yeah, I thought that should be post-possession change

[BurntOrange&White 39486]

Damn, hopefully that doesn't cost Duke the game

Idiots. He started the slide too soon but the late hit gives it to them 

Plus it’s a spear hit/targeting.  Awful.  

[Huckleberry 32685]

Yep, 4th down play was over. Late hit is I believe technically after the change of possession. 

[C-Man 26991]

Holy shit. It's dead ball.

That’s not how it’s supposed to work — right?

[DaysOff 7821]

Yeah, I thought that should be post-possession change

That's what he said before the break

[LonghornSean 3941]

Ban the QB slide. It’s a magnet for targeting and such a tough play for defenders to react to.

[Topper13 3200]

Can't do that

[jw4381 3063]

I think it's Duke ball after the play ended?

Awesome!

Ball is turned over on downs first.

YES!!!

[DigDug 1649]

Klubnik why are you sliding, just stupid

[MonkeyDoughnut 10134]

Can you target after the play?

[Sawbonz 27375]

The qb shouldn’t be able to slide that late

[Surly Bevo 24692]

Yea but if it is targeting how is that post possession?  I mean if that was a WR and the pass was sailed over his head pretty sure that would be a first down....I mean I won't mind but still seems odd.  

[Huckleberry 32685]

I think so. We're all used to defenders doing something stupid like that on 3rd down. Totally different on 4th down. I think, but we'll find out. 

[Vic Mackey 46919]

Such a dumb penalty to take. He was telegraphing his slide. Just get out his way

[Vito Andolini 9086]

This will be a helluva call if indeed post possession. Swinney will lose his shit.

Completely agree with this.

Late hit with targeting. Late by definition is after the play. Targeting can also happen during the play.

Man, you always see that happen… someone too eager to take out a QB 

but thats also the exact play that drives us crazy.

 

even on the reply it looked like the duke guy jumped at the exact moment that Klubnick started dropping.    Im not really sure how the hell the defender is supposed to avoid a head hit there when he was aiming for the guys chest. 

 

i was suprised to hear that its a post posession foul.

He was down short of the 1st down.

Ball gets turned over on downs.

QB gets hit, so Duke has to move the ball back 15 yards.

[The Ace of Aces 5106]

Duke got CRAZY lucky 

[Nicole44 22023]

Jumpin Jesus on a pogo stick! Devils might actually turn into a football school.

All kidding aside, this is what a good HC can do. Elko is a good HC. Good luck keeping him.

[Horn80 6074]

Dead ball?  Lol

[millhouse 2587]

Wow, that's crazy, but rules are rules

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Wow! Duke got the ball back

[jw4381 3063]

bahahahahaha

[GreenspointTexas 9556]

They explained it pretty well

[DaysOff 7821]

Fuck yes. Correct call. Play dead.

[C-Man 26991]

Sorry, that’s a horribly bad rule.

Klubnick is a dumb ass.

That’s a great distinction being FOURTH DOWN. That’s the key. 

[DaysOff 7821]

Stfu Dave. You're wrong and stupid

Yes because play is over once he starts to slide.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Lmao @35 trying to hype the crowd almost after fuckin up the entire game and his teammates giving him the death stare

of all the idiotic NCAA rules related to targeting, the fact that they dont have an exception written into the rule specifically on a 4th down play like that seems even more idiotic

Announcer is dumb.  A LATE hit can only be deadball.

Duke with a 2 TD lead, less than 10 min left.

Hook’em!!!

still 15 yard penalty for Duke though so they were "penalized" correct?

[SameSame 1691]

Obviously IQ tests aren't a big criterion for Clemson quarterbacks

[Nicole44 22023]

That replay command center looks like most of them left for margaritas or something. 

[Surly Bevo 24692]

So a 4th down late hit out of bounds would work the same way?  Seems shaky....I mean it may be the rule, but that seems like a bad rule.

I disagree. It was fourth down and the runner was down short of the line to gain, so possession changes. It's no different than if someone walked up to Klubnik as he was walking off the field and targeted him. It's still after the play ended.

How so? Play was over. As soon as Klubnik was down possession changed. It's not a specific rule, it's the basic rule of football. If you don't reach the line to gain on 4th down it's the other team's ball. 

[Sgt Hulk 13637]

Nope.  If QB throws ball on 4th down and ball in air, a late hit on QB results in first down there.
