Wisconsin held so many times in this game, I lost count. On their first TD run, there was at least one hold (can't remember which player) and another block in the back (also can't remember which player). On their TD pass, Ross Dzuris was absolutely mugged right in front of the quarterback, probably sacks him or at the very least breaks up a pass if not for that hold. Long run that Wisconsin had later in the game, on the drive where Gerry's second INT ended the drive, Ross Dzuris was again absolutely mugged on the play. I also saw the holds on Bando you're referring to, and there are plenty others that I saw, but the player it was done to didn't stick in my mind.
Of course, you would defend the no call. Of course you would. And if it was the other way around, you'd be saying we won unfairly.
Pistol lets you run way more options in the run game.... but don't hold your breath on the experts here understanding that
With a FB in the game? Was he in the game? I could be wrong. Sorry...it was the wrong call. We were hurting Wisconsin by spreading them out. And the second down call? Genius right?
The defensive player has every right to his position, unless that position INTERFERES with the receiver getting to the ball. Also, it would be one thing if he ran to try to make an interception, and ran into Westy in the process, but he didn't, he ran over and just blocked him from getting to the ball. That's pass interference, not matter how you slice it. It should have been DPI, no matter what, and I would have said so even if it were Nebraska called for the penalty (as I'm sure you would have been very quick to say as well).
The moment we lined up in that formation Wiscy knew we were running the ball. Forget about the first down call. Next playcall was a wasted down...but hey, I'm no expert.
Defensive cannot touch the receiver when the ball is in the air, cannot impede the receivers route to the ball and cannot run over the receiver. Wisconsin did all 3, not ONE official threw a flag. It was like, the ball left the QB's hands, game over! Nothing happened after that.
Are you out of your mind? The guy who has gone for it on 4th down in critical times this year when others say we should have punted plays not to lose? What in the world are you talking about?
Totally agree, if they go with a fake run up the gut and throw to the outside, say an out pattern 7 yards. Then come back with a run play, but on first down, when you've been doing it the whole game, why not just line up and call the play at the line, the whole stadium knew the play!
Exactly. Here's what the actual rule from the rule book states:
So lets go through this point by point:
My bad. I shouldn't have added that last part. Just frustrated. Like I said in another post, maybe outside zone is something I would have done different.
Yes you are. Riley is anything but a play not to lose coach. Just have to come up with something to criticize him for, don't you? Heaven forbid we'd give our coaches credit for something. Bottom line-you wanted to blame this on Riley, and you came up with something that is totally stupid. If we had gone for the TD, you would have got on him for being to agressive. Because, you wanted to get on Riley for something. That was your only desire. Blame Riley.
Yeah, Riley fan my a$$. If your criticism made any sense, I wouldn't say anything about it. Your criticism of him calling him a play not to lose coach is so mind blowingly stupid and indefensible that I wasn't going to let it get by. He is anything but a play not to lose coach-and by calling him that, you clearly are not a Riley fan. Yeah, you make up stupid crap to criticize him for-but you're certainly a fan, aren't you? What a joke. Your schtick is pretty easy to see through.
Because it's stupid. Your position is reaching to make a point-and proves that you are making up crap to criticize him about. And also proves why Mike Riley is a coach and you are some pathetic poster who doesn't understand strategy and doesn't understand what being a coach that plays not to lose is.
