This is what I was thinking.
If there's no late slide rule, then why aren't QB's sliding much later than what they currently are every time?
Opinions on the late hit penalty?

Want me to name all the bad calls we had against us this year?
I could start plenty in the Illinois game for starters..
Too many things are already reviewable. Seemed like they were constantly stopping the game for one thing or another.
Bc most will get blown up before they can slide. He slid at the perfect time. Defender could have let up… he didn’t and was penalized
Interesting thread topic. It's definitely more fun nitpicking calls & plays after a win.
No, you can slide whenever you want. There is no possible flag for sliding late.
We're gonna disagree on this one. I thought the defender already engaged to hit DR before DR slid. I don't think the defender could have let up once he was committed to hitting DR before DR slid.
See the video above. Defender 100% lunged AFTER Dylan went into his slide
I'm seeing the defender to start lowering himself to make a hit before DR starts his slide.
Not in this case. He wasn’t committed and had no choice, he went low to hit DR, he doesn’t usually dive like that, head/shoulder first without bringing his arms, to tackle does he?
There are so many self-loathing Husker fans.
That’s a lot of “what aboutism”. Both things can be true. We’ve had a lot of bad calls against us this year. This was a bad call in our favor.
I chuckled at Raiola’s reaction. A lot of false bravado when he knew his teammates would back him up. He even said so in postgame.
He initiated the slide well, well before the hit. This is why it’s important for officials to penalize qbs that fake slide like that one goober did to us. Slide starts where initiated , not where he is on the ground. Defender could of let up, he didn’t and was penalized
You didn't say "flag" the first time. He never said anything about a late slide being a flag.
Have you been to your local men’s clinic lately? May want to have your t-levels checked out .
Before the actual hit, yes. But the defender lowered himself to make a tackle before DR started his slid.
Idk how a defender can stop mid-air to not hit a QB?
They are probably taking counseling to cure their white guilt as well
Why would I need to? There is no such thing as a late slide, it is not a rule.
You can slide whenever you want, just like you can jump whenever you want and you can dive whenever you want.
Haha. You can be happy the call was made, but still think it's a bad one.
I yelled at the TV calling for a flag, but I knew it was probably a bad call and the replay confirmed it for me. But still was happy we got the call.
Had that happened to our D, I'd be livid.
No one mentioned a penalty for a late slide, only that if you slide late, you run the risk of the defender not being penalized for hitting the QB who is giving himself up.
The only imaginary rule mentioned is the penalty for sliding late.
Defenders feet are clearly still on the ground when Dylan is going into his slide. In fact he initiates contact while his feet are sill on the ground . Should I post the video again? Maybe put your glasses on and rewatch ?
That looks even worse on a replay than it did in the game.
Zero attempt at making a tackle. Both arms down and in at his side, in order to assist in delivering a blow with shoulder/helmet. To a QB that was starting a slide.
On what planet is that not 15 yards every time?
The late-slide "rule" means that the defender won't be called for a penalty.
Those are for situations where a defender made a tackling move before the QB gave himself up. Like what happened yesterday (imo).
The video is also in slow motion. Find the one in real time. I agree it was a penalty, but it was very close to not being one because of the timing of the slide.
Not this planet bc it was a penalty. Even the refs that let a lot of things go called it. Called a penalty 1,000 out of 1,000.
I thought posting the video would change a lot of minds but most would rather double down on stupid than change their minds
There is no late slide rule. There is only a rule for the defense.
That is all I am saying.
Had DR not slid, defender still made the right move that would've taken DR down. Unless DR somehow got more athletic and jumped the defender. Which is possible, but not DRs MO.
What does the defenders feet have to do with anything? He was going down and forward, how do you stop that once you've made that move?
Holy Shit, y'all are talking about the same fvcking thing, just worded differently. If the QB doesn't give himself up in time for the defender to not initiate contact, he is sliding too late. He is then considered a runner and would have the same protections a RB would have in a similar situation, which is none.
I think we're getting caught up in the symantecs.
There have been times where a QB slid "late", got hit, and a penalty wasn't called. It's not like the refs didn't see the sliding QB get hit. They just determined that the defender made a tackling move before the QB gave himself up.
Really? Does the rule state that when a defender already goes in motion for the tackle and THEN the QB slides - it’s a penalty. I doubt that. It as a bad call and Dylan shouldn’t have stood up and raised a fuss - he instigated the contact that pissed him off.
Nebraska has had PLENTY of bad calls against them this year. That was a bad call in Nebraska’s favor.
Initially, I thought it was a bad call. Then when Dylan got into his face I was thinking what are you doing? But it fired up the line like I hadn’t seen all year. We needed that little extra fire for Rahmir’s run. Another step in our return to greatness!
Correct!
Just like there are plays where the refs determined there was no hold, or offsides, or pass interference or grounding!
That's fine. I never once said it was an aggregious call. Maybe the word "bad" is too much as well.
Like you said, it was close. I tend to side with the defense on these close plays.
You said he was in mid- air. Meaning by laws of physics he couldn’t have possibly changed his trajectory. I believe Newton’s first law says a douchebag in motion will remain in said motion unless acted upon by an external force..
Unfortunately for you this all quickly implodes because he wasn’t in mid-air. He could of let up.. he went with the hit and like your credibility.. was penalized
