Cal should win this game.

 

[killertofu]

Florida highlights aren't very fun to watch :/

THROW THE BALL (plz)

 

[Lonestar]

so it's Northwestern faking injuries?

 

[LegoDad]

What a crazy tip.

 

[Cornballer]

Holy hell, that could've gone either way.

 

[Meier]

When did that touch the ground? I didn't see it live or in that replay but it was a weird angle.

Edit: Ahh there at the end. The way the initial referee signaled it seemed almost like he was indicating it had hit prior to that.

 

[Lonestar]

so close to the most amazing single catch in the history of the game.

 

[LegoDad]

Last dude trapped it.

Cal fans now calling bullshit? Lol

 

[Juice]

Damn Cal has had some amazing punts today.

 

[AntoneM]

That at least I understand. The replay screen at Memorial isn't that great, so we basically just assume any call against us is the wrong call.

Even after the upgrades and all?

 

[Lonestar]

oh boy

 

[Mac the KNife]

Weak.

 

[Cornballer]

You get ejected for that now?

 

[Chris R]

Targeting is an auto eject? Surprised that the QB didn't stay down with how hurt Northwestern has been this half.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

He just got ejected for that!? That facemask was slipping!

 

[LegoDad]

Uh oh targeting.

 

[Juice]

Damn I thought Siemien was going to be knocked the fuck out. Ugh.

 

[Cornballer]

New rule, targeting is an automatic rejection. There've been several already today.

Ah, ok. Didn't see the earlier ones.

 

[AntoneM]

That was not targeting. bullshit.

 

[squicken]

I like this rule. It's really the only way to change things. Most defenders will take the 15 yards for those kind of hits.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

His head was up, and contact was made initiated on the chest. That is some bs.

 

[Chris R]

I like this rule. It's really the only way to change things. Most defenders will take the 15 yards for those kind of hits.

The rule is fine, but that didn't look like targeting to me :|

 

[Juice]

Aw hell yeah. First decent pass of the half

 

[Lonestar]

That gets an ejection plus a suspension next week.

Manziel throws out about 2 dozen taunts during his quarter of play before finally getting 1 flag.

Lesson Learned; Hire a lawyer and vow to sue the NCAA if it tries to fuck with you.

 

[squicken]

I thought it was really close. I think a better system would be to review borderline cases after the game and suspend the player for a game if a more thorough review determined it was launching

 

[Juice]

Dammit, Siemien just seems to get rattled when he doesn't have the man he likes.

 

[Chris R]

Poor Cal

 

[LegoDad]

Pick 6 baby!!!

 

[Cornballer]

Damn, that's two unlucky picks for Goff.

 

[AntoneM]

It wasn't launching , he didn't leave his feet. His face was up, initial contact was made with the pads, the helmet to helmet contact came afterward. There is no way that should have been called targeting other than POS refs feeling like they had to make at least one call of it to justify the rule.

 

[Juice]

Two pick sixen! Woot

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Hey look, that's targeting.

 

[AntoneM]

head to head by NW, not called, lol refs.

 

[Juice]

damn it's 2am. I think this is probably the latest game northwestern has ever played

Edit: yup that's bullshit. NU should be called for head to head at least

 

[Chris R]

Another injured NW player...

I do get the issue where a tall defensive player tackles a short QB. It shouldn't be an ejection unless it is obvious, and the hit on the QB hit definitely wasn't obvious

edit: Cal gets so frustrated by the fake injuries.

edit: That should be an ejection. wow

 

[Juice]

This is easily the latest time of day they've ever played. This defense is clearly winded after 80+ snaps and hardly any breaks in the second half. I am not convinced anyone is faking it.

 

[LegoDad]

Need a cal td at the end of the game.

 

[Cornballer]

Nice to see the Cal receivers making some good catches tonight. Felt like the last few years were plagued by some bad drops.

I'm not saying they are faking it, but maybe they need to sit out more than one play if they are so tired. Tempo is a legit strat that some coaches us, and for it to be totally blown up with all the pausing sucks :|

Totally agreed. NU is probably the highest tempo team in the big ten, and this comes up almost every week. I feel like a player should only get two rattles per game before having to sit.

 

[AntoneM]

Could a rule be imposed that an injured player must sit out until the next first down or change of possession; for that matter to make it more harsh, out until the end of the current offensive possession?

 

[Cornballer]

Bad drops, bad throws. There've been some bad drops, but I think the bigger problem was passes being too high, too low, too far in front of or behind receivers.

True, might have been a Maynard issue as much as anything else.

 

[Juice]

Blah.

 

[Rice-Eater]

WTF

 

[AntoneM]

Wow.

 

[LegoDad]

Lmfao cal

 

[Cornballer]

Ugh

 

[Chris R]

Two bad throws, back to back.

 

[perfectchaos007]

2 throws, 2 plays, 2 INTs
