NCG - onside kick
Anyone know what Dabo was losing his mind over on the onside kick by Alabama?

Probably thought kick has to touch the ground, which is not true in NCAA. As long as there's no interference with a receiver, that play is completely legal.

The speculation in the ESPN Replay Booth cast was he was arguing KCI.

Was it a pouch kick or did it hit the ground first? I did not see an angle that said either way.

Peace

Didn't look like it hit the ground. Kicked upwards and a Bama player caught it at the 50. No Clemson player was making an attempt to catch it.

Looks like the ball was not kicked into the ground (or was kicked directly into the ground and bounced up high, which under NCAA rules is the same thing as far as KCI is concerned).

No Clemson player in position to catch the ball = no foul for KCI. Ball is dead at the spot where it's recovered by Alabama.

And come the 3rd Friday in August some HS coach will go apoplectic when we flag KCI and award a fair catch to R.

I would rather have heard this announcement:
"Since there was no receiving team player in position to make a catch and the ball went 10 yards, the possession is legal. No advance is allowed. First down, Alabama."
