Was that a good or bad call in Fla St v ND Game

[bama_stripes]

I also like how Brian Kelly is being such a crybaby about it too.  Lest he forget the 2012 Pitt game in their national championship runner-up year where he got a bogus DPI call that set up ND for the game winning TD, among countless other close calls that ND always seems to be the beneficiary of.

Is ND still stinging from the Bush Push?

And now the issue is....you did not call it on an earlier TD so why call it now?   The first play in the hilite reel is the previous TD

Missing it earlier in the game is no excuse to willfully ignore it later in the game.

The ND fans are just reaching for something. Now that even Redding has weighed in, they don't have much more to go with


And for some entertainment...if you believe in conspiracies, these folks have it all figured out:

One of our local officials who's dad is connected at FSU says the coaching staff brought the earlier OPI miss to the attention of the crew at half time so they were primed.

Remember philosophy...Team A is allowed a 1 yard zone to catch the ball and still legally block down field.  I say this because the possible OPI early in the game is not a foul, in my opinion.  Team A is snapping on the 1 and the receiver catches the ball on green grass.  Had he been in the EZ then OPI all day.  But with him catching the ball before entering the EZ, that is withing the 1 yard blocking is legal.  Splitting hairs you say...probably, but that's the difference between a good game verses a great game!

WR is attempting to run a route

Don't know why you are flat out making stuff up.

The play worked exactly as designed, though it should have been a pass completed BEHIND the LOS. I don't know whether the players ran it wrong or the coaches didn't know the rule well enough.

Joe,

OPI is coached, unlike DPI.  I bet this play worked exactly, and I mean exactly, as it was supposed to.  Kelly just didn't think the officials would call it.  From what I've heard, OPI is the most missed call there is.

If you really believe that then I hope that you're not an official.  The simple facts of this play have been discussed by multiple postings here.

1.  1st time this play was run it was run as coached and the catch was made within the rule requirements to be legal.

2.  2nd time this very same play was run the WR strayed too far and the catch was outside the rule requirements and therefore was illegal.

I see no value in discussing a coach's ulterior motives or coaching techniques.  In my opinion that's not very constructive in our business.  We call what we see according to the rules to the best of our ability and judgment.  Our job is simply to call what we see, and as is clear here, no matter how many replays or camera angles we watch multiple times, both calls were 100% correct.

I think as the game evolves, we as officials need to keep up with how the game is played and how it is coached.
