Lol, so if they threw the ball on 4th down and the receiver was hit in the head, do they go to the slow motion replay to see if the player was hit before the pass hit the ground? Because that's the exact same situation. I've certainly never seen that. And it would be absolutely absurd.

Dead ball fouls mean a specific thing. Fouls that happen while not in the course of play. That was very clearly a foul commited during the course of play. Even if it is somehow a correct application of the rule, it is a technicality and needs to be fixed, because that is crazy.

They made the rule primarily to protect the QB as soon as he starts his slide or going down motion play is considered dead.....the receiver situation is different if the pass isbdropped and the defensive player hits the receiver that is a personal foul or unsportsmanlike conduct take there choice....

It's nowhere close to the same thing. How often does roughing the passer happen long enough after the pass that the ball has already hit the ground? I'm sure it has happened, but it's so rare that by definition roughing the passer is a live ball penalty.

It's definitely a correct application of the rule (no dead ball foul can reverse possession), and it definitely doesn't need to be changed or else you'd have to have officials starting a stop watch to decide how long after a change in possession a foul will reverse the change of possession. That would be absurd to say there is a certain amount of time after possession changes where a foul is considered part of the previous play.

Edit thought you said the QB was hit, not the WR. Yes, they probably would go to replay to see if the ball already hit the ground before he was targeted, as they should. That's super super rare though, I don't think I've ever seen it.

Clemson and LSU look a lot alike. Two very talented teams that put two bad, downright uninspiring efforts forth in well 1.

Clemson has much bigger problems. Dabos ego has run that program into the ground. It’s been in the works for a few years. And it’s now fully exposed. Not going to get better anytime soon. Going to get much worse.
