Foley vs. Daphne on ESPN2
Last night I was clicking back and forth between the S. Carolina/Kentucky game and the high school game on ESPN2. I happened to catch one of the kickoffs and I thought I saw the U behind the kicking team. If any Alabama officials are online, do y'all use different mechanics for kickoffs...or was this only for the TV broadcast? Just wondering.

They were working 7 man. Yet on several plays I saw short wings starting out near the numbers. With 7 man I can't understand why they were out there.
I'm assuming that this was a special situation and 7 man isn't normally used there. |

We are dabbling with six man mechanics and have discussed eliminating the ball boy on field when using it. But they are trained so well, it is hard top stop! Last night is the first time I have seven man used in our state. If they didn’t get permission from the state office, the association may be in big trouble today. Other than the ball boy, what did you think of their mechanic?

We do 5 man here, and we allow the ball boy to bring the ball in between plays, as long as they do not hold up the RFP. We remind them to run the ball all the way into the U, and not to throw the ball at all. Most teams have ball boys that are very well trained and do an excellent job. For those teams that don't do so well, after the first couple of screw-ups, we banish them from the field except for tries and COP. |

Equipment?
Does the State of AL, not concern itself with bicep bands and wrist bands worn just below the elbow? I also saw what looked like a wrist band around one players knee.
I am the U in my crew and normally have a very solid ball boy working for us. I take my 13 yr old son to most of my games and he knows when to bring me a ball. We normally only change balls on COP, but also on deep incomplete passes. He also sets another ball at the goal post when a team is attempting a try or FG. |
