FSU lineman stays in his stance for entire play

I didn't get it either. The whole o-line did it a couple of times when Florida jumped offsides. When a player jumps offsides it is a free play so they still needed to protect their quarterback.

They do it when the defense jumps offsides, probably to prevent them from holding and spoiling a free play.

This is the wrong forum.

That makes zero sense. The defenders are getting a free run at the QB. The O-line should block to give that free play a better chance to succeed

I didn't say it was good football, but it is the only thing that makes sense.

I saw this in the game... I took it was he had given up... what ever the reason, I don't look for other teams to adopt this strategy.

I've seen several of the small schools do it this season. FSU is probably the biggest name school to do this foolishness.

The word I got from an FSU co-worker and season ticket holder is their OL coach Rick Trickett coaches the linemen to stay in their stance when it's obvious the defense jumped offsides....to make the offsides infraction look all the more obvious to the officials.

It's an obvious way to get your QB killed on a "free" play imo.

In the play where the entire line remained frozen, it was intended as a distraction to the D and caught them off guard. While they were trying to figure out what was up with the O-line, the rest of the O continued with the "trick" play. On the play where only the one lineman froze, he obviously wasn't listening in the huddle.
