The flag is thrown in the general direction of where the penalty occurred, because that particular penalty (holding) is a "spot foul", meaning the penalty yards are assessed from the spot of the foul. And, yes, if 98 from Michigan had tossed the ball backwards out of the end zone, that is indeed a safety.
In the video with Arkansas 13:39 the guy who takes the ball for a first down is Alex Collins. Last week he tragically passed away in an accident at young age of 28. RIP Alex Collins
(13:41) Is a big play for Alabama fans even though their team wasn't in the game, Arkansas was able to convert that 4th and 25 and go one to win that game. The lost knock Mississippi out of the conterence championship game and Alabama went instead. On a sad note the running back who got the first down passed away a few days ago in an accident, R.I.P. Alex Collins
15:40 The ball goes back to the original spot on an incomplete pass. He could have thrown it backwards but that would be treated as a fumble and would still be a safety since it’s not a “pass” if it’s not forward. It would be the same result as just holding onto the ball and getting tackled in the endzone. The penalty that Daz mentions is called Intentional Grounding. It is a penalty to throw the ball to no one in particular. You have to throw it towards one of your players, or it is intentional grounding. The penalty for intentional grounding in the endzone is a safety for the defense. That is why he did not just throw it straight into the ground like a spike. (A spike would technically be intentional grounding except the rule allows the QB to spike the ball as soon as it’s snapped to stop the clock). So basically he tried to throw the ball towards a teammate so he would avoid the safety.
For a look at the deep tradition of high school football in America, watch the highlights of the game played this week between Masillon Tigers (Ohio) and Valdosta Wildcats (Georgia). Two public schools, huge crowd, pageantry, and a great game!
Yes, last season's game (Aer Lingus game) in Dublin, Ireland was Nebraska v. Northwestern, this year's is Notre Dame v. Navy and next year (2024) is scheduled to be Florida State v. Georgia Tech.
The safety on the PAT (the blocked kick by Kansas State against Oregon) is a play that has only happened twice in Division I football. So yes, it is a rule that not many people knew. It's actually the only way for a team to end the game with 1 point: if the team gives up a touchdown but drives the opponent backward 98 yards into the far end zone on the PAT attempt, the score would be 6-1. Wildly implausible - both of the PAT safeties that have been scored were after turnovers and scored by the offense rather than the defense as a result - but not impossible. (Slightly less implausible, but only slightly, would be a game going scoreless through regulation and 2OT, then a safety after turnover occurring on a 2-point attempt in the 3rd OT; the result would then be either 1-0 or 2-1, unless the other team managed to duplicate the feat in their half of 3OT.)
15:50 Any offensive penalty which takes place within the offensive team's end zone is automatically ruled a safety. The defensive team has the option to decline the ruling, if the result of the play is more favorable. I once saw a play in which the offensive team committed such a penalty. The ball was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. It was late in the game and the defensive team was trailing by 9 points. The defensive team accepted the penalty and safety, declining the touchdown. The reason they did so, came down to the fact that they needed to score again, regardless of the result of the previous play. The team which scores a safety receives the following kickoff, taken from the opposition's 20 yard line - offering possession and favorable field position. If they had taken the touchdown, they would have needed to try an onside kick in order to retain possession. The team received the kick-off, scored the touchdown, leveling the score. They went on to win in overtime.
you talking about college or greatest catch period?? cuz if u talking about greatest catch period i would say OBJ catch against the cowboys is the greatest catch
The Ireland game last year was Northwestern (Evanston, Illinois) and Nebraska. We listened to the game on the way back from the beach. I remember it because Nebraska tried an onside kick with the lead, which is highly unorthodox football strategy. It worked out about like you'd expect: Northwestern used the shift in momentum that Nebraska gifted to them on a silver platter to come back and win the game, and embattled Nebraska head coach Scott Frost was let go shortly after.
The kicker that hit the front line opponent. That was on purpose. We had a kicker in college that would do it. (It worked several times) Also one in the pros but coach wouldn’t let him do it in games that I remember. He nailed me once in practice. It’s like a knuckle ball coming at you out of the corner of you eye with speed. Thank God he did it to other guys. Both were soccer players. One from Palestine and the other from Austria.
15:56 If the QB would have thrown it out the back of the end zone it also would have been a safety. The only way he avoids a safety or the pick 6 he threw would be throwing the ball out of bounds at least at the 1 yard line. And depending on we’re he & the WR is located on the field it might still be an intentional grounding penalty. That’s why you never want to get pushed back into your own end zone, so many things are working against you.
Yesterday, the New York Times released the pre-season national rankings for college football. (1) Georgia, (2) Michigan, (3) Alabama, (4) Ohio State, (5) LSU, (6) USC, (7) Penn State, (8) Florida State, (9) Washington, (10) Tennessee.
4:34 The one point safety is technically the only way you can score just 1 point in football. 99.9999% if those will be rewarded to the team attempting to kick the PAT still because the ball is in that endzone it’s almost impossible for the team attempting to kick the Pat to record a safety (98 yards behind them) but technically if it were to happen the defending team on the PAT would be granted 1 single point.
Regarding the running back who wasn’t down… basically: either your knee, elbow, or back has to make actual contact with the grass for you to be down. Just because the defender stopped the player from moving doesn’t mean anything. (Well unless ref calls forward progress but let’s ignore that rn) In college if contact with the grass (elbow, knee, or back) happens at any point in a play you’re ruled down. In the NFL either contact has to be what caused you do go down, or a defender has to make contact with you while you’re down.
There’s some other ways you can be ruled down. But they’re not as common like, idk forward progress…. And would require some explaining but the explanation would probably make more sense if it comes up in one of these videos So leave it there lol
10:25 the numbers can't be the same primary color as the jersey. Makes it a bit of a visual mess if watching in person or on TV, particularly for people with visual issues or color blindness. These are very borderline, they wore the same jerseys the previous year and weren't penalized, but I guess the officiating crew in this game for whatever reason believed the numbers didn't contrast enough from the rest of the jersey.
Every other year you get a home opener. Its obviously impossible for more than half of the teams to be home/away. So they picked to two teams who arent due for a home opener and pay them extra to play in Ireland. The fans of each team will get the home game week 2. Which is pretty normal.
If the QB is going to be sacked in the end zone, and he throws the ball backwards to prevent the sack it would be a safety. If he is outside of the pocket he can throw the ball forward and it will just be incomplete and the clock will stop.
I was gonna be upset if Arkansas ole miss wasn't at the end of this also on a sad note, Alex Collins who picked up that wild toss, passed away a few days ago 🙏
I'm gonna be straight with you Daz, I've never heard of "I'm-Gonna-Announce-It-Next-Week" University, or I'm guessing IGAINWU. What state is their campus in?
It's still my view that the craziest play in college football history resulted in a 3rd and goal from the team's own 7-yard line: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9TEuvRXfYKw.html
13:55. If this desperate 4th down play failed to get the first down (leading to Arkansas defeating Ole Miss in overtime), Alabama would have not had the opportunity to go on and win the national title (based on standings).
