Awesome whistle control
« on: November 09, 2022, 08:47:48 PM »
1:13 (3) (end of down) Buffalo vs Central Michigan tonight.
CM ball carrier advances several yards beyond the NZ, and gets 'confronted' by defenders. He gets contacted, and knocked down, but lands on a player, rolls over the player, and is able to regain his feet, and gets up running, and advances some 50 yards 87 yards for a TD. Great whistle control by the officials.
If anybody can find that play and post it (link, or whatever), it is worth watching how it was done so well.
Good work.

looks like that is not the correct video link, appears to be a soccer video game video instead

Thanks, the link is now working.  Did they flag him for the UNS for celebrating (interacting) with the fans?  Not sure there was enough of a spike there to call - thoughts?

Yeah, I saw all that soccer stuff, but just moved forward to the right time, and saw the down I mentioned. That's how I knew that it was actually an 87 yard run.

I watched in real time, and don't recall a flag for anything. In my day, I don't believe any of my FBS coordinators would have wanted a flag for either action, and I don't think any would, today, either. A 'talk to' might be helpful for the future. With the culture as it is today, that would probably be ignored. But, if either of those actions were worst things happening when the Rules Committee developed the current UNS rules, we wouldn't have the current UNS rules. They needed to stop 'in your face' spikes, throwing the ball into the stands, climbing into the stands, obscene gestures (finger, crotch grab, etc.), and the overt "look at me" actions (diving, flipping, strutting at the goal line, etc.). We still see a few of those, once in a while, but, with the possibility of a live-ball foul taking away a score, they have become highly unusual-to-rare.
Naw, the pseudo spike and the hand slap with one spectator - nothing.
