Maybe. Put as the picture you posted shows, Ryan Anderson was in his face when he threw the ball. Gallman wasn't blocking shite. If he had no one to throw to he probably tosses it away due to Anderson being in front of him.

Were some of you born without common sense? The ball in that shot is already in Renfrow's hands...by then, Gallman let off the block. You can see he is right there, and he was Clemson's better pass blocker, btw...the fact you can still see his hand on Anderson and Anderson isn't past him shows he was initially in his face and blocked when the ball was thrown, Watson is already running forward celebrating in it too.

But since you think he wasn't there blocking, then I guess he should be past Gallman in that shot, right...and Gallman was never in front of him as the ball is being thrown?

:rotflmao:

So your debate is what was called, not whether there was an actual illegal play that would have benefited FSU? Gotcha. They called an illegal block play...only thing in debate is "below the waist" or "in the back". No ref can easily tell that in action when the body is near mid-section and a guy gets clipped off his feet and tripped up. That's what triggered the flag.

You must be one of those guys that complains about the legal pick plays while knowing Alabama used one to beat LSU in 2014, and you had no problem with it then. Funny how that works.

^_^ Did I seriously have to post that twice because you are that blind?? You know he's discussing how the play finished, right, not the initial contact?

^ see my post above...it matters...

His shoulder hits the player first on the thigh...check your article, it says that.

And side shoulder is 2:00?? Guess we need to teach you clocks.

Side is 3:00...2:00 means the contact has to come from the front corner, not from behind against the 3:00 position on the side. ^_^

Thanks for proving my point.

Might want to read the article there....it says it isn't a chop block...and that wasn't the call anyways.

The call was a block below the waist...which it is.

From the article YOU posted:
"This was a block below the waist, though. And blocks below the waist can be legal. The relevant definition of an illegal block below the waist is found in the NCAA rulebook. Basically, below-the-waist blocks are illegal downfield, but only if they come from the back or the side:

All players after the ball has left the tackle box, are allowed to block below the waist only if the force of the initial contact is directed from the front. “From the front” is understood to mean within the clock-face region between “10 o’clock and 2 o’clock” forward of the player being blocked.

Take a look at the play again. It looks borderline, but Stevenson appears to have led from the front with this block initially, striking safety Van Smith in the right thigh, while also getting a little tangled up with him on the way down"

Pssttttt...right side thigh is not 2:00

You can mention that one all you want...it's debatable whether that was a block in the back/block below the waist, and it does fit the rule.

Either way, did it negate a TD, or just a run (it wasn't late in the game btw, top of 4th quarter)?? There's still no guarantee FSU would have had any TD and not just a FG...no one knows that. But...Did FL State have another chance to win? Dalvin Cook, running wide open for a long pass play, drops the ball, on 3rd down...4th quarter....ring a bell?? They had a ton of time to make that one controversial call up. Clemson on 3 legitimate third down stops that drove Pitt down to the goal line twice with the multiple 15 yard penalties (2 of those in one series, keeping 2 drives alive when they should have been dead)...yeak, ok.

Just dont forget in the optimism, Clemson also slept walked through a good bit of the season offensively. Auburn was 1st game...but that showed with your QB issues, Clemson could throw out a subpar game, with subpar QB play, and still win it (or do you think you faced the same focused Watson that Bama did?). The sleepwalk is evident with NC State and Pitt. Check how they looked after Pitt woke them up.

You can think I'm BSing, but I'm realistic to remember that certain generational talent having 14-15+ interceptions on his resume the last 2 years, was a big factor to why he didn't get the Heisman votes. So forgive me if I notice there was a ton of room for improvement that seems to be missed, and that a serviceable QB with less turnovers could end up with similar results. Guess we will see in 2-1/2 weeks.

Lmao, who has the most ACC Titles? Might want to check again, bub. Clemson has the most right now...and this isn't the 90's anymore.

Go to championships by school. Glad they had a run in the 90s when Dabo nor Fisher coached, it's been more competitive recently. Just like ACC vs SEC has too. But I can understand you wanting to cling to that past a bit longer.

Yes, let's talk. Clemson has an unknown at QB, but loaded at the position. AU has a QB that's never played in the SEC so is also unknown in AU's scheme, so hasn't proven yet he's "better" to everyone but AU fans. Clemson's most loaded and deepest position is WR...and has just announced that their new freshman RB was so good in fall alone, he won't be redshirting. Clemson's defense is slotted to be better than last year. AU isn't playing at home this year. Everything else is completely unknown until the first snaps of the season...so enjoy that "cut and dry" the next few weeks. Let's see if you still think that at half time.
