Lol. I dislike SC more than LSU.

You're just wrong about this. It was a bad call.

I'm not unhappy that SC lost. I like it when they lose. But I'm not going to pretend that a bad call wasn't a bad call to justify it. SC got screwed. I think that's funny... but it's not like LSU earned the win. They flopped their way into the win.

To be fair, it certainly wouldn't be the first time.

It is a stupid rule yes but they are going to put the QBs on a pedestal and Niss was 15 yards away from the play.


Nuss was 15 years away from they play...but running towards it in the event of making a play. He didn't remove himself from the play.

I have no idea if it's a legit penalty or not, but the rule sucks.

I'll always believe you gotta keep your head on a swivel. If you wanna make a play on the person and tackle them, you accept the consequences.

Stupid rule.


Until it's a call against bama and then what...... you hypocrite.

He did not “approach him (the QB) with extended hands”. His hands were against his own chest and he pushed his hands forward to make forcible contact from the blind side. It was a good call.


wild that you just explained that he approached him with extended hands lol.

Shut up bitch. The same thing happened to Cooper Bateman and you didn't know that because nobody said a fricking word about it.

Stop projecting your stupid shite on everyone else.

Furthermore, South Carolina fans continuing to cry over the call is a perfect reflection of your fan base.

That’s the old rule. The rule was adjusted in 2019 to include any forceable contact.

quote:

Blindside Blocks A player delivers a blindside block when the opponent cannot see the block coming in time to defend himself. For a number of years, such a block has been outlawed as a targeting foul if it includes forcible contact to the head or neck area.

In 2019, the new rules will broaden the restrictions for blindside blocks. It will now be illegal to deliver a blindside block by attacking an opponent with forcible contact, no matter where the contact is made.

The words attacking and forcible will be key for the officials on the field in calling this foul. If the contact is to the head or neck area, it is still a targeting foul. However, it will now be a personal foul even if by rule it is not a targeting foul—that is, even if the block is not to the head or neck area. The blindside block foul will carry a 15-yard penalty.

FootballFoundation.org

quote:

4. Blind Side Block – Rule 2-3-7 and Rule 9-1-18 A blind side block is defined as an open field block against an opponent that is initiated from outside the opponent’s field of vision, or otherwise in such a manner that the opponent cannot reasonably defend himself against the block. (Exceptions: (1) the runner; (2) a receiver in the act of attempting to make a catch.)

It is a Personal Foul if a player delivers a blind-side block by attacking an opponent with forcible contact. Note: In addition, if this action meets all the elements of targeting, it is a blind-slide block with targeting (Rule 9-1-3 / 9-1-4).

Rationale: This change is being made for student-athlete safety reasons.

Yes, this is the point.

As the OP showed, the NCAA rules say that contact initiated with the hands is not forcible contact.

Which is why this call was incorrect.

You are wrong he adding stuff that isn’t in the rule. Again, that’s the old rule. The new rule has nothing about hands.

Go to page 105:

Apparently they didn’t teach you how to read all the rules. Go to page 48. He is considered defenseless. Because he 1. Was in the act of or just after throwing a pass and 2. Was obviously out of the play.

For the 20th time on here today, defenseless only applies to the targeting rule(s) 9-1-3 and 9-1-4.
