I didn't realize a "late hit" (i.e. unnecessary roughness) was in any meaningful way different from roughing the passer. I just thought these were different terms for the same penalty. :dunno:

Another dumb rule, if you ask me.

That is the rule.


I know, I'm just saying the rule is dumb.

dumb reasoning I think
This just happened in the Baylor/UConn game.

It would seem to me that the defense should get to keep the ball, with the late hit penalty being assessed against them on offense.

It's not like a late hit alters a QB's throw. If it did, it wouldn't be a late hit.

Wrong. You are thinking of a redshirt. That has already been burned.


It's not even clear he'd have to sit out a year in the first place. In fact, I doubt he'd have to.

This might be....wait....this is the dumbest fricking post ever and that is saying a lot for the rant.


Why?
quote:

The biggest hold up is that the year he sits out would be his last year of elligibility.


If he doesn't play, it won't count against him.
1. He keeps his nose clean this season at Jax St.
2. He can convince Miles that he's grown up, and he's allowed to transfer back.
3. He's willing to sit out a year. (Not even sure if this would be necessary, given that he's not playing at a D1 school this year.)
4. He plays up to his capability at LSU.

It's probably not as far fetched as you think. If you think it's impossible, please explain where you think the hold up would be-- With Perrilloux or with Miles? Because I can promise you they both would LOVE to see this happen. Why?

-Perrilloux has no chance at getting any decent money in the NFL if this doesn't happen

-Miles has no shot at having a *good* QB if this doesn't happen.
