You make that hit every single time. I get the penalty but it was NOT a no-brainer for the refs. Would think that gets called at a small percentage over the course of the season.
A couple things the coaches should clean up
- Thread starter Newell
- Start date

Thursday was a complete failure of scheme and play calling on offense. Coupled with terrible game management and pocket presence by Park. After that game I don't care if Park ever rolls out of pocket again. His high release problems are only amplified when he is on the run. He doesn't square his shoulders, step through, and drive the football. Instead he stands up straight, jumps, and releases way above needed release timing resulting in 3 ints, and a QBR of 18.1.
Jacob is a fiery competitor so I do think he can handle the harsh criticism. He will probably be harder on himself than any of us are, the person I do worry bout is Manning. That was a really awful display of inexperience. It was probably worse than 75% of Messingham's games which is really saying something.

I can't bring myself to watch that game again. Like watching a guy pound his head against a door trying to break his way through.
The OP's point here is that Peavy thought he was going to get a targeting call, hence his pointing to his shoulder (not his helmet), which he thought would be ok. NOT.
The officials have the option of picking up the flag and not calling a penalty. That's what they should have done.
I need to take back a portion of what I said. At the high school level, any hit to the head with a helmet, forearm, shoulder, etc. is a penalty regardless of whether the runner has given himself up or not. In college, it's a bit different and it seems that the runner has to have "given himself up" and therefore be defenseless for a hit with a non-helmet body part to be a foul. So ... my bad. I was wrong.
Regardless, it's clear the NCAA doesn't want to see helmets being hit, and the rules even say if in doubt, it's a penalty... I predict within 2-3 years it will be worded even more harshly and any blow to the helmet at any time will be a foul.

One of the things bugging me this year that I haven't seen discussed yet.....
Why do we make no attempt to return punts? Ryen is a great punt returner, but we just let the opposing team get through and make no attempt to even get down the field to block. Very weird.

I figure it's because that S.O.B. was booming punts 60 yards with a hang time of 25 seconds!

We have done it every game though.I figure it's because that S.O.B. was booming punts 60 yards with a hang time of 25 seconds!
Do it! I found a lot more positives from watching it the second time. I picked up a lot more of the defensive adjustments made in the second half that was really promising. Its still pretty frustrating watching the offensive play calling but call me crazy, even the logo looked a little better the second watch.
Yes well as you know Akron is not Texas and if we have to base our success off MAC teams then this point finishes itself.
Just saying his throw on the run against Akron was damn good. Doens't matter who the opponent was. He has made other good throws on the run as well
He had a very bad night against Texas. A bad night in the pocket, a bad night on the run. Heck, two of his INTs were standing int he pocket.
So if we are basing his abilities strictly on the Texas performance then he shouldn't throw from the pocket or on the run.
I think if the call on Peavey is legitimate, then perhaps we should train all of our ball carriers to start going down before the second player makes contact during a tackle to get the extra 15 yards and automatic first down. But I am certain that after the first 2 or 3 times, the refs will bury the flag so deep in the pocket it would not get called for us again.
