Florida State vs LSU (7:30 pm ET)

[orangebloodgmc]

Exciting game. But that was two dogs barking. Some of the worst coaching I’ve ever seen. And for LSU, you know you have bad special teams or a really bad kicker if you get two PAT’s blocked in one game.

Plus two muffed punt returns and a shanked punt.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Would’ve been awesome if they enforced a ten second runoff haha

It was a first down and the clock stops.

 

[DaddyChad]

BK shows zero emotion....

Think about how much money he got paid to lose that game and disappoint those corndogs.

 

[bamawriter]

Clock stops on the first down to move the chains, so that was irrelevant.

Not since the rule change last year.

 

[volfanhill]

If LSU is this undisciplined and sloppy when we play them, we will win by three scores.

That's the thing everyone needs to realize. They won't be. And Kelly is a good coach

 

[volfanhill]

So?

 

[DaddyChad]

It’s a win-win regardless of outcome.

Kinda like FSU fans watching that crap fest of a game we played against Miami three years ago.

It’s like watching your two mortal enemies step in a pile of dog poop over and over for three hours.

They did more than step in it. They rolled around in it then both coaches took turns crapping on their respective teams.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I don’t know the rule book to this level of detail. But seems like if they would have ruled him down by contact they would not have been able to get off another play.

Clock stops on first down.

So this game was a fluke and they’ll be a well oiled machine in 5 weeks. Sure.

But you have to have 3 seconds in order to snap it.

I was supposed to pick my wife up the night we went into 5 overtimes vs Alabama, had it timed perfectly to get to the airport from the stadium. Parked way down Neyland so I could get on 129 quickly. Was young enough and in good shape 20 years ago so I could jog to my car from the stadium pretty quickly. 5 was about 3 overtimes too many it turned out. That was back when I didn't see the need for cell phones too.

Had we lost she wouldn't have let me hear the end of it. With the win, she was over it by Christmas.

I would have left even if it went into overtime. If it were a TN game tho, that’s another story lol.

Clock stops on first down.

In this situation the rule says that after a replay if the clock would start on the refs signal and not the snap, there has to be three seconds or more remaining on the clock or the half/game is over. For some reason they seemed to make up a rule on the spot that LSU was going to be allowed to snap the ball no matter what. They even let LSU line up and moved off the ball and didn't start the clock. Never seen anything like it.

Maybe this win keeps Coach Prime from taking Norvell's job for a few more weeks anyway.

 

[ETV]

Brutal on tiger droppings

Our only hope is that CBK gets his 4th booster and dies. Come on Pfizer, help us out.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Exactly.

Didn’t FSU call a timeout after the review?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I have a feeling LSU is headed for a bad time.

 

[volfanhill]

It's his first game as coach. I mean are you dumb? They weren't going to be great just bc he showed up. Good lord. They may suck In 5 weeks. You don't get it

 

[VolArmy74]

With the way our luck goes, we will lose a scoring chance at some point on the rule that let LSU score. They will enforce it in the exact opposite way when we are in that situation.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

But you have to have 3 seconds in order to snap it.

IDK then. Also FSU did call a timeout after the review.

I’m sure we will here an explanation this week then.

After the ref had declared that LSU would get one more play.

 

[VolArmy74]

IDK then. Also FSU did call a timeout after the review.

They called time out once the refs announced they were letting LSU snap it one time as if it were an untimed down. Even without the 3 second rule, a first down only stops it until the official sets the ball and backs away. In this case they set it, let LSU line up and look over the fsu defense and never signaled the clock to run. Then fsu called a time out.

They didn’t need to be great. They needed to be competent. Fielding punts and making PATs are fundamental things that well-coached football teams routinely execute.

Bk had the horses to throttle FSU. This game showed the flaws he's always had. LSU should've beat them by 14+

 

[orangebloodgmc]

And, on the 2nd muffed punt return, why can't that ball be advanced into the end zone, just like any fumble?
