I'm glad Michigan managed to beat Appalachian State the second time around and now we can get on with the rest of the season. We'll still lose a bunch of games, but at least not that one.

kayakyakr posted:Should have been a penalty. Ball has to hit the ground before it's considered truly muffed. Only if it was a fair catch. quote:ARTICLE 2. To muff the ball is to make an unsuccessful attempt to catch or "Muff" status has nothing to do with the ball touching the ground, only with the player touching the ball. quote:b. It is an interference foul if, before the receiver touches the ball, a Team Fair catch protection ends when the ball his the ground and remains in effect on a muff until then. Without the fair catch signal, he's fair game as soon as he touches it.

Sash! posted:I am outright baffled at how many coaches seem to be just...outright terrible at thinking things like "there's 40 seconds to go and I have three time outs, better have them hurry to the line" instead of "...poo poo if I don't call that time out they're going to burn off 25% of the remaining time on the clock!" Yeah, I don't get what was with nearly letting the clock expire because he didn't realize the guy was down inbounds. You've got two timeouts left, use the drat things. Even if the clock is stopped anyway, you're at a critical point in the game and need to give yourself a chance to think it through. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Thoguh posted:Iowa State's #1 reciever appears to be out for the season with a torn ACL, tha the suffered on like the thrid play of the game. Our center, who went down early in the second quarter (and when he did the entire offense completely fell apart) might be back next week... so there's that, I guess. The center is usually the leader of the offensive line, calling out protections and blocking assignments. Without him doing things right, the offense breaks down in a hurry.

Mahoning posted:I wouldn't consider many goons representative of their respective fan bases. What I've seen on message boards is mainly arguing about who they'd root for. The most common sentiment seems to be hoping ND kicks the poo poo out of OSU. We've come to terms with the ND series ending a long time ago. They're an OOC rival, we don't own them. ND has wanted to play OSU since forever, but Woody Hayes' anti-catholic bigotry prevented it. They had one H&H in the 90s, and that's it other than a bowl game. We'll be glad to play ND again when they're ready to.

Scionix posted:Does Trin still post around here? I've been reading some grantland stuff recently about the newer packaged plays that are getting really popular, and almost every single one has lineman 4+ yards downfield blocking when the ball is thrown, if the throw is what the QB choses. I understand that's the point, you block everything like a run and give the QB the option, but in like 99% of the pass plays there are a bazillion O-lineman way up the field, which is very illegal. That seems to be a current trend in coaching. Break various rules deliberately, but barely, and keep pushing the envelope of how blatant something needs to be before it's called. There will be a lot wailing and gnashing of teeth when the rules committee tells the refs to start calling everything close again.

Mahoning posted:Is there a particular reason why linemen aren't allowed downfield on a pass? What is the origin of the rule? Originally, when players didn't have numbers, there was no way to tell who was eligible and who wasn't. Requiring ineligible receivers to stay at the line made it easier to tell them apart. Since then, I would imagine that sending ineligible receivers downfield would be done to deliberately confuse the defense and get them to waste a defender on a guy who couldn't catch a pass anyway. I suspect the main reason for leaving it was inertia. Keeping ineligibles at the line worked well and nobody saw any reason to change it.
