Lowering of the hips

It was obvious he started to slide before the line to gain.

Horrible rule, like the targeting rule.

I didn't think they did at first but they did. I know it hurts but it was objectively the correct call.

The replay they initally showed with the yellow line on screen looked like he was beyond it.

But then there was another replay where you could see the sticks and he was clearly half a yard short.

It actually makes sense.

If you can’t hit the player, that player can’t gain yardage

I've never heard anyone argue this concept until now.

LSU fans.

Not really. If the QB can't be hit, he doesn't get rewarded. I will say that Patrick Mahomes fake slide BS should be treated like targeting if it finds its way in to the college game. QB is ejected

Rule became what it is now when Kenny Pickett was at Pitt and faked as if he was going to slide, defense let up and he kept running.

You should put up a billboard about it.

It is one of the few that makes sense. Protects the ball carrier in the lovey dovey age and spots the ball appropriately.

Almost every QB slide near the yard to gain is reviewed. How is this news?

What we don't need is you fricking gumps coming in to explain why the obviously bad call was actually correct.

This ain't our first rodeo, the call was correct because the REC said it was, and it benefited the tide like it always does. We don't give a frick about your refs, they are always an obstacle and always will be for everyone but you.
