re: How can college officials over 2 qtrs to throw a flag

Yes if you will notice when the second half starts the LSU tackle pops the center and the call was made. Give Chavis credit but he should have told one of the guys to pop him after the first time that it happened. The officials have no excuse. Those plays and the missed call on offensive pass interference were turning points in the game.

HERE is another. The LSU defender is lined up in the neutral zone. The center is doing the same head look he does on every play and it has nothing to do with the foul.

On each play he looked left, delayed, and then snapped the ball.

He didn't delay, has to be a full second iirc and it was not.

That's hilarious.

A 1 second delay is required for a SHIFT.

As long as the center's mov't does not simulate the start of a play, it is not a foul. To LSU's credit for gamesmanship, they came out in the 2nd half with the intent to jump as soon as he moved his head to see if they could draw a FS. All FL did was change the silent cadence. Meyer covered all this during his pregame meeting with the officials.

From what I've seen so far, it's nothing more than whiny LSU fans trying to invent an issue.

They talked at the half and Chevis told Alexander to cream him immediately and point to the center.

My question is why in the hell hadn't Miles/Chavis coached these guys to do this anyway?

The move at 0:07 is perfectly legal, however, the look to the left JUST before snapping, is not.

Please post the NCAA rule that substantiates your claim.

OK...


After the ball is ready for play and all players are in scrimmage formation, no offensive player shall make a quick, jerky movement before the snap, including but not limited to (A.R. 7-1-4-II-IV):
1. A lineman moving his foot, shoulder, arm, body or head in a quick, jerky motion in any direction [S19].


2. The snapper shifting or moving the ball or moving his thumb or fingers, flexing his elbows, jerking his head, or dipping his shoulders or buttocks [S19].

I try to just lurk but when someone is arguing about shite and they have no clue... I already knew the rule but went and looked it up for exact wording.

If you don't have a clue about what you are talking about then maybe you should STFU and look into it before you go running your mouth.

Just like on the Poli board, he just got pwnd and won't be back.

Ah, my bad...you replied to me...

Yea, he won't be back...

The head bob with the snap was garbage...even if Meyer talked with the officials about it before the game. It still has to be legal...

(b) A shift or movement that simulates the beginning of a play.
This includes the snapper who, after assuming a position for the succeeding snap and touching or simulating (hand[s] at or below his knees) touching the ball, moves to another position.

Using what you've posted:
Did the snapper move to a new position after addressing the ball? Even you have to agree he didn't do that, so, let's move on.

What movement by the snapper simulated the beginning of a play?

Snappers move their feet at the snap....did he move them prematurely?
Snappers move their arms at the snap....did he move them prematurely?
Snappers move their heads up at the snap....did he move his head upward prematurely?

All are movements common to the position at the beginning of a play. A look to the left is not. A look to the right is not.
