Just looks like jersey really.
It doesn't matter if it's pads or jersey. It's still a horse collar. From the NCAA RULE BOOK:
quote:
Horse Collar Tackle ARTICLE 15. All players are prohibited from grabbing the inside back collar of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling the ball carrier down. This does not apply to a ball carrier, including a potential passer, who is inside the tackle box (Rule 2-34). Note that the tackle box disintegrates when the ball leaves it.

That last part is key. The defender didn't really pull him down, as soon as he puts his hand on Manziel's back, Johnny just kind of falls on his right knee. Some refs might have considered that a flop, but since there's no penalty for flopping there was no call.

Tre (sp?) Williams looks really good. Has a lot of burst.
I don't really remember him from this season. Is he still there?
Yes. (And it's Trey.) He'll be fighting for playing time with Tra Carson and Brandon Williams. They're all very good, all different. Carson is my favorite because he seems to enjoy knocking heads. Williams has nice jitterbug moves. Hard to go wrong with any of them.

I honestly can't tell if you're serious.
If you don't think he was pulled down ....
I'll just agree to disagree.

OK... gotta admit. I laughed at that. Most here won't know what you're talking about.

I was clarifying a rule that was erroneously described by a poster.
If that's whining, guilty as charged.

Been watching this from the beginning and I have some thoughts
1. A&M's defense was decent during this game, when did they get so bad?
2. Auburn's Secondary is painful to watch at times and it's hard for me to be optimistic that there will be a significant improvement in 2014
3. Auburn's offense was still not fully clicking. It's amazing how much more they grew from this game to the end of the season.
4. If Nick Marshall can throw accurately and the receivers can catch and/or hold on to the ball, Auburn will win a NC this year

Damn guys, it's whatever the refs call it. We can argue forever about it, but it's is what the refs call it to be.

I mean someone should have pressed charges against Evans after he raped our secondary during this game. No means No, Aggies

That's too much credit. We have puffed up goobers just like everybody else. But I'm pretty sure we won't be poisoning your trees.

Down goes Johnny! Wonder how many cortisone shots he got before he came back in

Might just be distance though --- College Station is further than Dadeville

Not impressed with Everett so far.
