Week 4 Games of Interest

[Jay Alexander]

So you can't spike the ball within 1 minute of the end? I sure didn't know that

After the down has ended.

Meaning that the player spikes the ball so the ref has to run pick it up then place it which gives the offense extra time to get the play and get to the line.

Thanks for finding that. Is an illegal shift an act which "illegally conserves time"?

If so, then it would seem that LSU would get the 5 yard penalty (like they did for the foul) and 10 seconds would be run off the clock??? So there wouldn't be another play under that scenario either?

That's the way I read it.

Even if LSU had gotten the snap off before 0:00, I'm pretty sure that Etling was over the LOS when he tossed it. That, and the left end receiver wasn't set.

Perfect to see UGAg and ND lose to underdogs. How in the world Fluke could lose to Wake and NW and then beat ND. Any given day.

As for the end of the LSU game, yes I think the clock should have been reset if the play never happened due to an offensive penalty. But I don't think they can overturn it (again). To overturn, then LSU would have scored with time remaining on the clock so AUbie gets the ball again....... glad to see the SEC in a cluster f.

uga was technically the underdog even though they were higher ranked. Spread was Ole Miss -7 I think at kickoff. Everyone knew the #12 ranking was ridiculously inflated

 

[Jay Alexander]

I just don't understand why LSU didn't have a play called and the players lined and ready while the refs were sorting out everything.

Well that and the fact the LSU receivers would catch the ball on the sidelines and not get out of bounds...and the auburn defense allowing receptions on the sidelines.

Both teams deserved to lose. Felt the same way after the Bama/Ole Miss game too.

Naw, UGAg was supposed to win another NC this year with their savior coach. The comments here are hilarious, especially that the dwags don't have great athletes: http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/college-football/bulldogs-lose-game-chubb/nsd4H/

I mean LSU totally blew it when they had Malachi Dupree wide open in the endzone twice on the last drive and didnt even look at him. And it's not like this is the first time a Les Miles team has run out of time going down the field due to time mismanagement

True I somehow forgot about their preseason dynasty. idk how it's pretty much unrivaled in college football. Too bad Mark Richt screwed them over by leaving them with no talent. Dude only brought in top 15 classes every year instead of top 5. "Sabotage" - AJC

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

I think they are referring to spiking the ball after the play, not before the play.

I don't think you can spike the ball after a play at any time, can you? That would be an unsportsmanlike penalty.

 

[zhavenor]

So you can't spike the ball within 1 minute of the end? I sure didn't know that

It took me a second to figure it. I think they mean throwing the ball on the ground, spiking it, and away from the ref after a first down. I would delay the refs from starting the game clock again. It is the only thing I can figure that would make sense. If it's not that then I don't know what the rule is talking about.

Sorry Jay you beat me to it.

LSU should've had a 10 second run off. Shouldn't even had been any controversy outside the idiot Receiver wanting to get an extra 2 yards instead of going out of bounds and saving them 15 seconds.

 

[FightWinDrink]

Stanford/UCLA was basically the other side of the coin. Stanford wastes all their timeouts but catch interference and weak D gives Stanford the time to score and pull off the win instead of running out of time like LSU

“Coaching had nothing to do with the outcome today,” Kelly said.

WOW. A little full of himself, isn't he? Even Johnson doesn't single out players by name and always adds that the coaching needs to improve so they will do what they are supposed to do.

Yet he fired his DC?

Yeah, ironic, isn't it? So which is it, players or coaches?

Most ND fans think Kelly is gone at the end of this year.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Wow, just wow. Kelly has probably gotten away with bluster so much that he is just doing it again.

The article said Kelly was paid $1M a year. That must be a typo. Or maybe there is a clause that he gets a big payout if he is fired and he is saying stupid and wrong stuff like this to get fired.

Kelly really makes CPJ look good! Just about every time CPJ talks about how bad the team did he also talks about how the coaching staff didn't prepare the players. The kids have very limited time (by NCAA design and rightly so) but the coaches are paid $Ms to get the kids ready.

The Coaches Hot Seat lists his salary at $4 million.

BVG's salary was $1 million
