BUT..... In the rulebook, it further stipulates: Because he's moving it to someone behind him in space, it's backwards. First, I don't think that's talking about a pitch. Second, that is referencing the NFL. I thought there was some wording about "initial direction" or something like that. But I can't find it in the NCAA rule book. All it talks about is the point where it was thrown and the point where it was caught. Unless there are exceptions I'm not seeing. Quote Link to comment

I really didn't know that at all. Been watching Husker football/option football my whole life and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever really investigated the rule. *Edit: Just saw Mavric's post indicating that this might only apply in the NFL. The more I think about it, I kind of doubt you can throw the ball forward as long as the guy catching it was behind where you threw it (or still behind where you are now) when he catches it.

For one the crew could get suspended or fired. I know this outcome may not be in our favor scoreboard wise but it could benefit future schools from having this officiating crew officiate their future B1G games.

I know this outcome may not be in our favor scoreboard wise but it could benefit future schools from having this officiating crew officiate their future B1G games. I don’t want to see that crew in future games I imagine these are just distributed to the officials as things that were missed and like a "make sure we get these right!" It would take a lot of bad calls to get officials suspended, and they're pretty much unfireable. At some point if a specific coach and official butt heads they might do something, but frankly a fair amount of the crews wouldn't be able to officiate most big ten teams if it just took a coach requesting they not officiate his games. I'm really curious what actually comes out of the officials prep. I know they review the teams and both coaches have an opportunity to clarify things, let them know about any potential trick plays, and request extra attention on certain things (#57 holds every play!), I just don't know how much of that gets used. The PI certainly feels like they were told to look for rub routes and were prepared to throw the flag on any crossing route contact. And if I'm an opposing coach I would totally call that out - We run a lot of Mesh, and intentional or not the traffic created is a key part of the play. 1 Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 All this talk about the officials, we need to look at the bright side of this crew. I think it was the back judge, but she was quite the attractive lady! Edit: looks like it was the Umpire. 6 Quote Link to comment
