I was sitting there in that corner. That was not a clean hit, the Cal player hit him with the crown of the helmet under the chin. The shoulder part was clean, the crown of the helmet hitting him under the chin was not clean, that is why it should have been ruled at least unnecessary roughness...
Don't we kind of owe these guys for punching Eric Decker in the chin back in theday. I still remember the Cal defensive back did that in the end zone and officials didn't even call a personal foul penalty. I mean it is a very old score to settle but Goldy Gopher has a long memory.
How was that off Iowa State, besides the interference from the Iowa player. Why does Iowa always get such favoritism from officials? Ferenetz gets way more than his fair share of calls.Shoud have been kick catch interference.
I don't think officials are always against Gophers, just some missed illegal contact fouls. It was the first game of the year so more willing to forgive. Officials have a tough job, a lot to do and remember in real time. It,'s a tough role.
That is my interpretation to because the hit was like blindside block or pick off, is what makes it illegal contact. The blindside contact is what makes it illegal these days.
Can't set a pick, just flat run into a guy , just bounce off like that in the NCAA, just like receivers can't set picks or a basketball player cannot undercut a player landing. I know it used to be legal, and in NFL still is, but in rule books now that play would be considered illegal contact...
Not in college if your on equal footing yardage wise, in the sub rule of section 2 of illegal contact that is not legal to hit the receiver like that even if the pass hasn't been thrown yet. In NFL it's a legal play, in College football that play is illegal contact. The play was similar to...
Glad to hear it. I figured Mike Grimm and DT would know the rules. First game I will give this a pass, but if this crap continues with Big 10 officiating and this becomes a trend, plays like this can be game altering against conference competition. Good thig Darius was able to tackle the...
Am I the only one that thinks yesterday's Big 10 crew is bias against the Gophers? Isn't that Geers play covered by Article 2 Illegal contact within 5 yards rule by NCAA or HS. NFL has a different rule but in college when a guy is even with you, under 5 yards, you cannot grab, blast or hold at...
Karmo has to be on the field. He for us, is too fast, and too good to be on the sideline. He will make mistakes but #2 is talented and his gonna be a good one.
I graded a B. Redshirt freshman QB first start with only 1 returning reciever back. 3 New Olineman starting, and a new defensive coordinator calling his first game. We left points on the table at the 10 yard line twice, and controlled line of scrimmage. That opponent had 6 returning starters on...
Not sure what to expect because I don't know much about Buffalo other than they play in the MAC.
Hopefully Gophers new starting QB get's rid of the early jitters and the Oline starters play a lot better to start this year than last year. Gonna give the edge to the home team.
MN: 27
Buffalo: 16
