Hm? The ball was live. The returner could have muffed it and UCF would have a chance at possession.

No, UCF players touched it at the 45 and knocked it back. It was "live" in the sense that the play could continue. Note how on punts that get let go by the return team and kept out of the endzone, the refs wait until either the coverage team controls the ball, or it is clear that the return team is not trying to advance the ball.

Edit: I see others jumped in while I was looking for the official rule.

Yeah, I was saying good special teams coaching if that's the case. The ref doing what he did, though, still didn't help matters at all.
 
That's really interesting, thanks for the explanations. It's always funny when I find I don't know as much about the rules of football as I thought I did. :P

Anyway, I take it back. Great move by the returner.
 
NEVER LEAVE, SPURRIER. From the Carolina-Clemson basketball game just now:

Twitters said:
Steve Spurrier, trolling, refers to a big win over "that team from the Upstate," then says, "and we were able to beat Wofford, 24-7."
 
Hmm, 1/2 of the QB duo at Virigina, That Rocco kid, has asked for and received his release from scholarship and is transferring. Phillip Sims looks to be the starter next year.
 
My coworker is out all week so I won't be able to take off work and watch us get our asses kicked in the Belk bowl. Win or lose, I really did want to go. Next time Duke makes the post season, it will be the FCS playoffs

Your overconfidence will be your downfall Mr Oh We Will Make The FCS Playoffs Eventually If We Drop Down There Because We Are So Awesome.

You have a long last name.
 
Wow @ NIU jumping up to 16. Wisconsin may have just destroyed Oklahoma's BCS chances, but it will be close. I don't know if NIU's computer rankings will keep then at 16 or 17, but they jumped Michigan and Boise as I thought they would.

mmm'kay, I was just referring to the fact that our bowl droughts have been so long that the next time the team is good enough to make a post season, we won't even be an FBS school
 
Now I've seen Billy Lucci (spelling) say he's got sources that think A&M to the Peach Bowl vs. Clemson (a good game for A&M)

One of the crazier Bowl selections I've seen. Normally, we'd pretty much know what's going to happen before the CCG weekend (besides the BCS bowls)

That's a pretty good matchup.
 
rewatching the SECCG game. I love Lacy. Just wish he had more sturdy toes and ankles. Always getting nicked up, but I guess the running style causes that.

Everyone talks about the spin move, but his hitting the hole with a running jump, coming out the other side running at full speed. MANLY MAN STUFF.
 
Cal is interviewing former Ohio state assistant head coach, and current kent st head coach darell hazell.

Think it would be a great get for cal, up and coming guy who players love.

Lacy runs without regard for anybody's safety, including his own.
 
I'm just hoping that NIU doesn't get a BCS bowl. Would screw basically everybody in the Big XII except for KSU if they did.

You and me both brotha. Need that MAC domino to drop.

Fucking Cornsuckers.
 
Kirby Smart interviewing at Auburn.

Also I don't really get why Gundy is interviewing with us. Seems like it would be lose lose for both sides. He is an OSU lifer, has T Boone money and relies on Texas to recruit with little experience with FL and Georgia recruiting needed at UT. Don't know why he would leave unless there is something else going on in the AD and if he did it seems like if he were to jump to the SEC Arkansas would be a better fit. I think Strong, Fisher, or Butch Davis would be a much better fit for what we need.

Jenkins, still baffled by Alabama’s blocking, sought out Fluker after the game. During the game, Jenkins would collide with Steen or Fluker, who would immediately get their hands on him and steer him out of the hole. If Fluker occupied Jenkins, or defensive lineman Kwame Geathers, Steen would come in from the side and move him just enough for Lacy to squeeze through. "They caught me off guard because nobody had ever used it on me," Jenkins said of the blocking strategy. "Somehow, he would draw my momentum to him and get in front of me. They were technically sound. It was position blocking." Georgia led by 21-18 in the third quarter when Alabama flew down the field — not with the pass, but with the run. The drive started with 3 minutes 4 seconds left in the period and covered 74 yards in seven plays, all on the ground. Lacy capped the drive on the first play of the fourth quarter by vaulting into the end zone from the 1. Steen looked at Fluker during the drive, and they were both exhausted. They looked across the line at the Georgia players, who were also exhausted by the quick march. "How bad do you want this?" Steen asked Fluker. "Real bad," Fluker said. "Keep it going, then," Steen said.

FYI, Bob Stoops voted Oklahoma No. 6 and Northern Illinois No. 24

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that at all.
This is the coaches' poll's greatest flaw.

lol, what a fucking joke.

In addition...

In other news, OU finished the season without a win over a team currently ranked in the AP Top 25.

So, why should folks be outraged if NIU gets in ahead of OU?
 
James Franklin: A True SEC Man.

Toe that Company Line!
And apparently told Arkansas it can keep its 5million a year.

Edit: or not. Comes from everyone's favorite liar Clay Travis. So not really a trustworthy source especially since it is about Franklin.

The sooners are probably the most consistently overrated team in College Football. Their only BCS win in the last 10 season was a Fiesta Bowl victory over the 4 loss Big East champs, UConn.
 
That's shitty. So was the helmet to helmet on Murray that wasn't called.

It was okay to hit Murray in that situation, but I agree that it could have been a PF flag on the play for H2H and I wouldn't have complained.

I wonder if Brando will mention #2 going for Dee's eyes on his show this week, when compared to the likely 80 mentions of Dial's hit on Murray.

Edit: off-topic, but Greg McElroy was the player of the game in the Jets win over the Cardinals. :jnc
