2024 non-GT games thread

Yes, the side angle makes the interference much more evident. When I first saw it as it occurred, I thought it was a ticky-tack call, but the other angle showed P.I. with much more clarity.

Where are you seeing the side angle? I could not find it. Thanks for sharing.

 

[UgaBlows]

Lots of former players on X coming out and saying they HATE the PI call on balls that are underthrown

The INT would have happened either way in my opinion, the guy who made it was in front of the receiver

 

[forensicbuzz]

I wasn't referencing that specific call. It was faceguarding at the very least. I was being more general. There is so much offensive line holding that could be called now that isn't. The PI calls are often subjective. The one in the endzone was the correct call.

Face guarding is legal incollege.

Saw it on ESPN when some talking heads were explaining it late last night, and I think it was on a replay shown during the game, but not sure about that.

Pretty sure that play involved contact as well. Never played the ball. Question seems to be whether it was catchable by the receiver.

So should we shut down message boards? This all opinions. That PI call was like what we had in Vandy game. And ga game.

If we went by fact it would b messages like:
ND won the game.
Franklin can’t win big games.


That isn’t that exciting.

Not the message board the officials debating PI calls in games. They are inconsistent now, adding a review will only make it worse.

The NFL tried and gave up after 1 years as it caused more issues than it resolved. Take that to a lower level where there about 70 games with review officials making separate decisions vice one central officiating as the NFL uses working 15 games. Recipe for no good.

And for anyone thinking a review would be an improvement just read the last two pages of this thread. Split about 65-35 for PI. To overturn a call it better be close to 100% certain. That is the issue with the current Targeting reviews.

Off the current subject, but I just saw on the ESPN crawl that Carson Beck is transferring to Miami.

Let me guess - they're all defensive backs.

Well, I feel sorry for them. Seemingly everything is stacked against them. The receivers are getting bigger, better, faster, all the time. The quarterbacks can put passes through ridiculous windows. Even when they have the SOB covered an official gets his panties all in a wad because the DB put a hand on the back of the jersey or did not turn around or some other excuse to throw the flag. Everyone these days wants to see a track meet and few people appreciate when a defensive back makes a good play. I would find it discouraging.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

Can't disagree. Franklin will take the loss and get heat for not winning the big one, but Allar threw the ridiculous, ill-advised pass that turned into the interception that cost Penn State the game.

Coaches can't make the plays for them but he will get the blame and whatever is left over will go to Allar. College football these days is all about the quarterbacks and receivers it would seem. They get the glory and the blame. IIWII

We are not playing Miami next year. Is that correct? Well, Carson go to it and find out what it is like replacing a near legend. Not easy. Glad we will not be facing him.

Not unless they make the ACC Championship Game.

I don't think we will make the ACC Championship Game but then I don't think they will either but every year brings forth new hope that the U is back.

Hopefully this move will be in our favor. Kyle McCord of Syracuse decares for NFL draft. See article below.

This. Faceguarding is absolutely legal in college football yet it always seems NCAA refs forget this and throw a flag.

Contact interfering with a receivers ability to attempt to catch a ball is illegal.

My comment is only that face guarding is legal in college football. You can put your hands directly in front of the receivers eyes and as long as you don't touch him, it's not a penalty. It is in the pros.

Isn't Will Howard,OHio state QB more impressive than Shadeur Sanders?

He’s playing for a national championship, so yes.

The most talented player alive, playing for himself, will eventually reach his limit, which will fall short of the collective limit of a highly talented opponent.
A somewhat less talented player, maximizing the collective talents of those around him, will exceed the limits of a highly talented opponent.

Does anybody remember when Ohio State fans were calling for Ryan Day's head a little over a month ago? Actually the worst fans in college football. Not the first time this delusional fanbase has called for him to be fired either.

Nope, Auburn fans have that Title locked up
