Awesome play by the QB but this should have not counted. Blatant hold on #70! |

Did you post the wrong video? I see no hold by number 70. In fact, I see no block by number 70. I do see him reach for a player and then fall near him as the QB throws the ball.
But nothing even remotely holding-like. |
Hey that's Portage County. I would not have called that.
|
Despite your yelling about it, that is not a foul.
|
I was more interested in looking to see if the passer was down before the ball was released.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think I agree with BigJohn. #70 reaches out and grabs the jersey up near the left shoulder of the defender, spins him, and takes him down. Without #70's actions, I think the defender gets there and disrupts this play.

Anyone that calls that a hold will be working freshman ball for a lot longer than they want to.

#70, reached out, grabbed #54 and spun him halfway around. 54 would have sacked the QB had this not happened. Clearly IUH if not holding.

It is still a foul and should be penalized. The TD should not have stood.

I think JRut is being a little to passe about this one. It was a take-down at the point of attack by a blocker who was beat. It's hard to judge if the take down prevented the defender from making a play any sooner and preventing the "pass" from being made though. This one is tough. This is also a tough one to get. The R will be focused on the QB and the U's keys are spread out so he may or may not get a good look at this. Hard to say if someone saw this and passed on it or if nobody saw it.

It's easier to see the jersey grab in the replay (the second time they show the play), I'll grant that.
What bigjohn doesn't seem to grasp is that it's not simply a matter of seeing a jersey grab and throwing a flag. First of all, who's (in a 5-man crew) going to see this? Furthermore, it's a split-second judgment in deciding if the grab/restrict affected the play. And that's not a clear-cut decision, either. Although I'm leaning towards what bisonlj said in his post above mine. So much easier officiating from the sidelines, or so we're told every week. |
