E Hobbs getting some love

I am pretty sure that face guarding is only against the rules in the NFL. Not possitive, but I am almost a hundred percent sure it is legal in college. But if someone finds something that says different I would like to see it.

We could've benefited from that call numerous times this year... remember the Nebraska game?

That's what I'm saying. It seems to be a very rare call.

Well, 27 yards anyway.

Flynn was in the end zone by NFL rules, let alone NCAA rules. Too bad we didn't have Gary Pinkel there to **** and moan for us.

We could've, if we were playing in the NFL. The force-out rule doesn't exist in college.

Regardless - Flynn scored vs. the Huskers. Not that I think it would've mattered in the W/L column.

Well if face-guarding is legal in college then that's very weird because it is illegal in high school. At least "obstructing the receiver's line of sight by putting a hand in his face" is illegal anyway. I can't see the rule changing between high school and the NFL but I suppose it's possible.

I'm pretty sure the "forced out of bounds" call is only pertinent in the NFL. In college and for sure high school you can push them out all you want as they only need to get one foot down for a completion.

You are incorrect. Rules state that you cannot face guard

These Colt fans boo more than those hostil fans at Hilton.. :)

Wow, Colts got away with a mugging in the endzone there! Anybody else freaked out by Caldwell's eyes?? I know I'm going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight.

True...didn't say the force out rule was a wrong call...just said we could've benefited from it.

Another great Hobbs play...and more love.

Seems like he can only catch passes if he's got a man right on him. He should be able to zero in on those incoming passes pretty well with those huge peepers.

More big yards on the return by Hobbs.

Blandboy · 01-21-2007, 09:51 PM

Hobbs just keeps doing it...49 yard return.

Cyphor · 01-21-2007, 10:02 PM

What did Hobbs average on KR returns this year?
