Announcers complementing officials is all fine and good, and it was nice to see them give credit to that side judge, but let's remember that none of those three guys no the first da*n thing about football rules, let alone MECHANICS!!

Wha?
Musberger is a former baseball umpire and usually has good things to say about the officiating when its on. Yes, he's a bit of a hypester, and I can see why he would occasionally get on people's nerves, but I can't believe I'm the only one that thinks BM does a pretty good job.
He's probably the reason I started watching games on mute. He's good for at least one, maybe two manglings of a rule per game. Hammers the obvious, spouts cliche after cliche, and is generally grating. But maybe that's just me. In the paper here today, they had a picture of Bo Schembechler on top of the story and Lloyd Carr was his assistant. What was Carr doing in the photo? Screaming at an official. Great guy, class act. I wonder if he'll try to get one of the guys on the crew yesterday fired for some physical ailment. |

On one of OSU's touchdowns, the announcers were saying the officials missed an obvious pick play. The receivers crossed and the defenders ran into each other (no contact was made by the offensive players). I don't believe this is a foul. Am I correct?

Now, you could have a foul without contact if B went out his way to avoid contact with A and two B players ran into each other, but that is not how you worded it. If in crossing, B did not go out of their way to avoid contact with A, but ran into another B defender, you'd have no foul. Last edited by MJT; Sun Nov 19, 2006 at 10:29pm. |

Another question about the game.
Disclaimer My judgment regarding this play may have been impaired due to: 1. Overconsumption of alcohol 2. glare from my scarlet and gray glasses. But, It looked to me that the contact on the snapper which drew the roughing call did not occur until after the snapper had had stood up and was facing the defender. We (Federation) have been taught to protect the center until they are no longer vulnerable (ie head up, etc.) Is there a difference in the Fed and NCAA rule? Am I all wet about what I thought I saw? |

I am thinking of how you can have DPI when B cuts off the route, but you do have contact usually in that. Don't you think, however, that you could "interfere" without contact.
Here is the play. A84 and A80 run a crossing route. Defender B36 is one step behind A80 and has to take a drastic swerve in his persuit to avoid running into A84 and does so, barely avoiding all contact. He loses several steps in his persuit, and A80 catches the ball and runs for a TD. What do you think? |
