Gotta admit it’s a loophole situation that has consequences far too serious for the kicking team. I mean we did not technically kick the ball out of bounds. It’s just a fluky deal that gave them way better field position than I think a team deserves in that situation. There absolutely should be an exception to the rule when the ball is laying dead in the field of play before anyone touches it (for instance, if a ball was established as in-bounds before an out-of-bounds player touches it, the ball is dead at that point the out-of-bounds player touches it). 2 1 Quote Link to comment

There’s plenty to be concerned about (turnovers & penalties) but overcoming 4 turnovers, 11 penalties, not giving up and still finding a way to win....I don’t think the importance of that for this program can be overstated. As a coach, one of the good things that can happen is when the team plays poorly, yet still wins. The coach can show the team that those mistakes can’t happen against better teams. Of course, the kids need to take those lessons to heart. 1 Quote Link to comment

A little rain at first. Yeah, I went outside for a bit too. I’m probably only about 6-7 miles east of you. Quote Link to comment

But the ball isn’t established in bounds until the player touches it. I think people are mad because this rule went against Nebraska. As soon as the play happened, I knew what was going to happen.

But I agree, the line played fairly well tonight. 690 yards of offense and really no sacks and people are complaining about the line, hold onto the ball and the game is a blow out. 3 minutes ago, hskrpwr13 said: There absolutely should be an exception to the rule when the ball is laying dead in the field of play before anyone touches it (for instance, if a ball was established as in-bounds before an out-of-bounds player touches it, the ball is dead at that point the out-of-bounds player touches it). I am confused how that isn’t considered illegal touching. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Its one thing to catch a ball and land out of bounds. Its a different scenario when the ball is in bounds, on the ground, not moving. If it were a punt or a fumble the rule wouldn't apply. Its got nothing to do with it not working out in NU's favor. 2 Quote Link to comment

If it were a fumble and the guy trying to recover the ball were out of bounds, the ball would be declared to go back to the team with the last possession. But since this is a kick off the ball is declared to go back to the kick off and the kick off going out of bounds. Quote Link to comment

I don’t know if it deserves an exception as much as I think they need to simply say that the only time the ball gets spotted at the 35 is when the kick actually goes out of bounds. My opinion is that basically we did nothing wrong. I say spot it like a normal touchback at the 25. That would still be good deal for the receiving team and not overly punitive for the kicking team.

They said it counted as a kick out of bounds since the player was out of bounds when he touched it. Smart play by the return man buy a dumb loop hole 1 Quote Link to comment

JMO Nebraska kicked the ball near the sideline and the player which established possession was out of bounds. Thus, the kick is declared out of bounds. Quote Link to comment

Whenever the ball is touched by a player out of bounds, the ball is considered out of bounds. It’s not a loop hole, it’s the rule with every play. 1 Quote Link to comment

Doesn't really matter though might never see that kind of play on a kick off the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment

It was a great job by the returner. By establishing himself out of bounds and catching the ball, the ball is out of bounds by rule. They need to change that idiotic rule. 2 Quote Link to comment
