Count 'Bility Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 John Bishop @JohnBishop71 57s58 seconds ago Huskers adjust to "the clap" after the third incident. Fyfe/Armstrong reaches down & Mark Pelini looks between his legs for that sign. Yeah, and we proceed to rattle off 24 unanswered points and come inches from winning the game. 6 Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I wonder if Mark Pelini realized what was happening at the time. It seems like a bad sitcom bit where the fat clueless guy keeps getting yelled at for something he doesn't understand. Might explain why they didn't immediately adjust after the first one. 3 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 This is very intriguing. But I gotta say, we almost deserve for using such a stupid and easily imitated method of calling for the snap. We should yell "hut, hut, hike," no one else would be able to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Obviously, MSU didn't think they could beat us by abiding by the rules. 1 Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I wonder if it was reported during the game. Bo mentioned that it should have been called and wasn't. Bo doesn't strike me as the guy who is going to hold back anything from the officials. I don't know how much the coaches pay attention to the smaller details in the game. I mean, 1. We threw a WR screen to Tariq Allen multiple times. Screen to Allen? Yea, he's the guy to put the moves on and streak upfield with that break away speed. 2. Davie goes down injured, and Rose comes in and not one coach says hey Rose, they'll probably come at you immediately so don't do anything crazy like try to jump the first route you see out there.

beanman Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Whether our line got manhandled or not, this just confirms what I knew to be true about Douchetonio all these years. He's a douche. f#*k you Sparty. I hope we get a rematch. 3 Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 No different than a defender calling out hike against a team using verbal cadence. Highly illegal. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Was it illegal? yes. Was it smart? Absolutely. No different that a hold or PI that doesn't get called. Chess vs checkers folks. Chess vs checkers........ Happened 3 times before we adjusted. Much like Beck not adjusting until the 4th, it took 3 miscues to try and get it right. I have to wonder what would have happened had we changed sooner. No doubt, with the speed they were getting across the LOS, they new the count signal. They were beating lineman out of their stances. Much like Seattle breaking the audibles of Denver in the Superbowl. I'd be consumed with winning out to beat them at a neutral site with no advantage. Quote Link to comment

He's a douche. f#*k you Sparty. I hope we get a rematch. This would make me play the next 6 games like a man who's a$$ is on fire and heads catching. Just to beat them into the ground. It would be one game at a time. Only to have a systematic focus on getting to the B1G and getting revenge. Quote Link to comment

Juss'sayin..... 1. I agree, it's very haphazard. There appears to be a disconnect between the playcalling operation and the personnel operation. It's not recent. It doesn't happen to every team and doesn't have to happen. Fisher needs to coordinate with Beck & Bo and get on the same page here. Otherwise, these are wasted plays and the coordinator is unnecessarily hamstringing himself by calling plays with random personnel. 2. The reason for Jonathan Rose's playing time that I remember reading, is his tendency to play a little too aggressive and the potential for getting burned as a result. Otherwise he's very talented. Unfortunately I think we saw the getting burned part last night. Speaking of which, he got the hook for this, but what about our offensive linemen? Back to the Sparty defense. I hope they can still win games when they're not able to sneak in underhanded tactics. I can understand with difficulty in making in-game adjustments and get everybody on the same page, but this is also something I think we should have been prepared to face from another team. We weren't and got burned for it. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure what the penalty is in college for it now but in the NFL if you are caught mimicking the cadence, the player, assistant coach and head coach are fined and/or suspended. Noone gets diciplined if you get away with PI. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 It think it's a 15 yard penalty. it falls under full blown unsportsmanlike conduct. Quote Link to comment
presidentjlh Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Not an excuse for the loss by any means, but that is pathetic, Michigan State. Absolutely pathetic. Great locker room material, though. Let's get to the title game so we can punish them for it. I mean absolutely murder them. Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 And even more, this time from Sam: Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH More proof of the clapping. Dantonio claims this is to move around DLs. RT @GarrettGordon: @MikelSevere #clapgate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfq_I_CFEq0&feature=youtu.be There is one little problem with Dantonio's statement, his DL's didn't move around, nor did they look like they were gonna move.
