re: Michael Dyer was down

Joe Adams was ruled down in the Sugar Bowl in the first picture and Dyer was ruled not down in the second picture.

The whole "Front of the wrist or back of the wrist" thing is STUPID.

They are either both down or both not down, IMO.

No, one touched with the back of his wrist which is considered his arm, plus it was his ball hand.

The other touched with the hand side of his wrist, which is considered his hand because it's the bottom of his hand. Plus it wasn't his ball hand.

This isn't hard to figure out.

does the fact the ball hand was down (adams) as opposed to dyer's non ball hand have anythng to do with it?

whatever happened to the days of just the knee has to be down ? would that not make it simple to see?

[quote]I'm not saying either way BUT

DJ Williams was ruled down in the Sugar Bowl in the first picture and Dyer was ruled not down in the second picture.

This is the play I was thinking about but didn't remember what game it was.I totally agree with the front or back of the wrist. Either both are down or neither are down.

bamachick, I believe that the biggest difference between those 2 plays was that for the Arkansas player, his wrist that was holding the ball was the one that was on the ground while in the Auburn game, his wrist that was not holding the ball was touching the ground. I believe that the rule differentiats between the 2 which is why it wasn't called in one game and was called in the other game. I could be wrong, but I do believe that this was why it was called against Arkansas and not against Auburn.
