Hey LSU, speaking of protecting QBs..

You’re embarrassing yourself.

You're an embarrassment to other South Carolina fans.

Why wasn’t the illegal blocked punt called?

chalk it up to another missed call that LSU should have been hit with.

Roughing the Passer ARTICLE 9 a No defensive player shall unnecessarily rough a passer, when it is obvious the ball has been thrown

The following actions are illegal, but not limited to:
1 Targeting fouls as noted in Rules 9-1-3 and 9-1-4
2 Forcible contact to the head or neck area that does not meet the requirements of Rule 9-1-4
3 Forcible contact that is avoidable after it is obvious the ball has left the passer’s hand
(Exception: A defensive player who is blocked by a Team A player[s] with a force so that they have no opportunity to avoid contact with the passer However, this does not relieve the defensive player of responsibility for personal fouls as described in elsewhere in this section)
4 Forcibly driving the passer to the ground and landing on the passer with action that punishes the player
5 Any action that is a personal foul as described elsewhere in this section b When an offensive player is in a passing posture with one or both feet on the ground, no defensive player rushing unabated shall hit the player forcibly at the knee area or below The defensive player also may not initiate a roll or lunge and forcibly hit this opponent in the knee area or below
( Exceptions: (1) It is not a foul if the offensive player is a runner not in a passing posture, either inside or outside the tackle box
(2) It is not a foul if the defender grabs or wraps this opponent in an attempt to make a conventional tackle without making forcible contact with the head or shoulder
(3) It is not a foul if the defender is not rushing unabated or is blocked or fouled into this opponent
For paragraphs a and b, the penalty is added to the end of the last run when it ends beyond the neutral zone and there is no change of team possession during the down (A R 9-1-9-II-III)


(Rule 2-27-14) Defenseless player: When in question, a player is defenseless

Examples of defenseless players include but are not limited to:
• A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass This includes an offensive player in a passing posture with focus downfield
• A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball carrier
• A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return
• A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball
• A player on the ground
• A player obviously out of the play
• A player who receives a blind-side block
• A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped
• A quarterback any time after a change of possession
• A ball carrier who has obviously given themselves up and is sliding feetfirst

The hit on Sellers head that caused him to throw the Int, meets all of the requirements of both of these rules. Of course it was not called The Interception should have come back and been SC's ball with #4 ejected.



There is obvious "Forcible contact to the head or neck area" It should hae been called either roughing the passer of facemask at a minimum.

Let's just face it. The refs yesterday were arse...

Im cracking up bc people (even non SC fans) have asked for the refs to be investigated. And it sounds like the SEC office might actually do it.

They can’t take the win away from them. Maybe just ban the refs from doing LSU games.

He's not tho. Every reasonable fan knows they won that game

Dang. That was egregious, refs MUST have thrown a flag?!
