N. Carolina/Tennessee
Wow.... very interesting end to regulation.
|
Yes very crazy...just curious in the NFL dont they have a runoff on a off penalty under the 2 min warning?
|
I'm not an NCAA football official, but why wasn't the illegal participation penalty a 15-yard penalty? That clearly wasn't substitution, but was participation. Or that's sure what it looked like.
|
That was bananas. I think the crew handled it well, though.
I also thought it was a good no-call on the previous play. The announcers were pining for a late hit, but, to me, it looked like the defender was blocked into the receiver. |

Illegal participation trumps illegal substitution. The FG attempt was from 10 yards closer than it should have been. Anyone who thinks that crew/replay booth did a good job at the end of the game is mistaken big-time. |
What about the throat slash by the Tennessee quarterback after the touchdown in the first overtime? Is that indicative of a lack of control by the coach?
|
One more aspect I have not seen addressed (I am a NFHS official only), but is there not a rule concerning substitutions that when A attempts to sub, that they must be held up until B has a chance to counter the sub. Perhaps that is waived in the final two minutes or something like that.
NC coaching staff got away with a serious blunder by sending in the FG unit on 3rd down and creating the confusion. They would have easily been able to spike the ball had just the same players stayed in the game. |

I counted only 11 at first excluding the players leaving because there was a holder with no kicker. The kicker was just out of frame even on widescreen 4 yards behind the holder. When the picture pulls back after the spike then you can see 12 players still on the field. |
There were 12 in the formation but were they really "participating" in the play when all the play was was a spike?

I just checked the highlight in HD and there were definitely 12 players in the formation!
I am guessing this should have been a 49 FG attempt instead of a 39 yard attempt. |
I just made a screen capture with the ball still in the QB's hands....12 UNC players between the numbers. No doubt it was illegal participation.
6 players in 3-point stance on the line and a wideout on the left side on the line to make 7 on the line of scrimmage. Another wideout off the line on the left and a slot on the right. QB under center with the holder and kicker deep...5 in the backfield makes 12....this isn't the CFL or CIAU. Wish I had a way to post the screencap. |
