I'd like to know what Bisontis was thinking when he decided to square up w/ the referee.

Again... pictures??? Video???

There you go. He needs to stay about a yard short of the that yellow first down line. The ball is about four feet out of Reeds hand at this point. Close as I could get. It the lineman at this point is five full yards downfield and running east-west.

It wasn't close and is called every time.

Thanks - the refs were calling everything yesterday, so it was hard to tell when it was a legit penalty and when it was tick-tacky penalty. The illustration made it an easy call (but hard to see from 303!).

You bet. I should have started this thread with pics. I don't start many threads so lesson learned.

HEY LETS JUST AGREE TO ALL BE HAPPY AN OPPOSING OL ACTUALLY GOT CALLED FOR HOLDING!!!!

More in one game than our ENTIRE SEC slate last season.

I don't have any... I listened on the Aggie Radio Network.
I did find WoodlandsAggie YT channel had the game posted.
so, would be easy to find. it was kinda late 4th qtr if I'm not mistaken.
If you watch the no huddle version (I did), it's edited out

I have seen a bunch of comments and internet experts criticize that call as if it was close. I just went back and watched the replay.

He was past five yards downfield from the line of scrimmage. The ball was snapped right about the 21 and a half yard line and he was closer to the 16 than the 17 when Reed threw the pass. So he was over two yards past where he was allowed to be.

It really wasnt a close call. Im surprised so many people on here are criticizing that. But whatever.


Edit to add. That's a bad title. He was two full yards passed where he was supposed to be.

Just like many of the calls against us on Saturday, it was ticky-tacky AF and of questionable timing.

found it.. there's no video of the incident w/ Chase. Just the ref announcing the penalty.
Turns out Andrew gave a better description of what happened.
11.49 3rd qtr

Ok, I was wrong.

You just dont see it called and there was clearly timing to calls

You keep saying its called every time. It's not called every time, especially when the offender is not effecting the play or even in the general area where the ball is thrown. I agree that by definition it was a penalty, people are just upset by what seems to be targeted calls against us.

No. Holding is not called every time. PI is not called every time.

But Man downfield is pretty much caught and called every time. There was a former official on this thread earlier that said the same thing. It was also called against Georgia in the night cap. And it was called earlier in the day against I think MSU. I saw it at least four times Saturday. Five yards downfield not blocking anyone(which is really irrelevant at that point) at the time the ball is thrown is called every time.

Whether or not it effected the play is irrelevant and you probably know that but are just saying it to justify being upset. And the reason people think that the flag was late was because ESPN was late to see it.

Be upset about the running into the kicker, or the unsportsmanlike conduct call, or the late hit that wasn't. But this ain't it. Being mad at this call is just silly.

It is called ablut every other game in the NFL. Slightly more probably in college. But it is called all of the time when you are five yards down field.




Edit- I got grammar checked badly. It wrote three times per game. I obviously didn't mean that. It happens about every other game. Website is NFLpenalites.com which is a very cool website. Be sure to look at all penalties, not just accepted penalties.

It is called almost three times a game in the NFL. Slightly less probably in college. But it is called all of the time when you are five yards down field.

Im glad you think so. Do you have any actual data or proof to show what you claim?

I don't know how often that gets called but makes me mad at our lineman for wondering so far off the line of scrimmage when he wasn't even involved in the play.

Google it. The NFL keeps those stats. It's easily available. Unfortunately the NCAA does not.

This is 100% the correct perspective.

The mob had all their money on Auburn +6.5, thus the officiating.
