Recruiting Football Talk VIII

And another one! Deebo Jennings, Purdy, Kittle, all of them can't feel their fingers.

49ers may as well be the Jamaican Bobsled team.

3 loss teams should not get at-large bids. You're not deserving at that point. I don't care who you've beaten.

I don't care that Miami and SMU haven't played tough schedules. Leave Bama at home

If there’s no punishment for losers of the conference championship games then there should be no reward for winners thus making CGs obsolete.

This is in response to if UGA loses to UTjr giving them 3 losses and will remain in the CFP.

Need to figure out how to get shady back and keep Konanbanny. Having elite dbs is a staple of any top defense. We’re lucky to have some good ones this year but totally unproven beyond brooks/mccoy/gibson.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

No thanks. Those refs would lose their minds. Give us Indiana. Then whoever comes

Didn’t realize watching it but Mike Matthews is wiiiiiide open at the top. Doesn’t pout. Comes and makes a block.

I wish it would've showed the rest of that play. After Mike Matthews leveled and hurdled the DB, he skipped the rest of the way to the end zone.

The replay was on SEC network today and I watched that play 15 times. MM is a stud. I hope he gets more playing time in the playoffs.

There will be “punishment” it just won’t be significant. Losing in the conference champ is a lot different than losing in regular season, especially when the team you’re playing against in champ game is a top 3 team. Loser of SEC and B10 will probably move slightly but not much. Now loser of ACC and Mountain West will definitely slide more it’ll be interesting to see how far

If Clemson beats SMU, I believe ACC gets 2 teams in and Alabama stays home. Once again the lesser of 2 evils.

This is what I think too. But a lot of it will depend where SMU is Tuesday will they be ahead or behind Osu? I think if they’re ahead of Osu they’ll be in with a loss, if they don’t move them up I think it leaves the committee room to drop them out

It does seem that if the game can win you a spot, it should also be abke to lose you a spot.

I know it's a long shot, but does anybody know what a trebuchet is?

That man was a badass. Nearly died.

“Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings” taught me the answer to this back in middle school

Hahaha I was thinking this exact same thing.

You very well may be right, I've just never heard that rule.

Blindside is typically from anywhere the person being blocked can't see it coming, regardless of relation to the goal line. Lots of blindside happen when a blocker is running away from his own goal line and the defender is coming across the field.

I know peel back blocks have a criteria where you can't be moving parallel to or toward your own goal line, but that's for a hit below the waist.

Could be I just don't know the rule though. Either way, MM was definitely close to getting a flag but I think the official did the right thing by holstering it.

Correct.


I don't find any mention of a "peel back" block and the rule for blocking below the waist has no mention of direction.

Rumors out there that Vince Marrow - Kensuckys “Ace recruiter” is headed to Louisville.

And that Purdue might go after mark stoops.

Aw. Those guys have been doing a fabulous job of getting crushed by us. I would hate to see them go.

Don't tease me

A cut block is probably the name for illegal below the waist block. High school and college and NFL are all different on what is legal with below the waist blocks, so I'm not entirely sure when a block below the waist is legal or not in college.

I'm fairly sure your direction relative to your own goal line comes into play there, but I'm not sure.

I know they revised blindside block rules a few years back, so they may have done away with the "can't block when moving toward your own goal line" rule then because the new blindside rule overlapped with it?

Great find though, is that the 24 NCAA rule book or 23?

Also I'm guessing rule 9-1-6 is where you'll find the rules for blocking below the waist. Football rule books are stupid, they have one section that defines below the waist and then an entirely other section that tells you if it's legal or not lol

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Any word about which players are transferring our? Or general numbers we expect?
