I’m as straight of a shooter there is, & I’m objective af.

In 2023, when our fans were bytching & moaning about the controversial Chaney fumble, my point was we should’ve never been in that position. We had a 99.9% probability of winning by simply kneeling. Was it a fumble? 99.9% no, but I could see how the refs blew that call. The point is, that one call wasn’t y we lost; it was a collaborative effort on OUR side.

Ffwd to last night; Cal fans can bytch & moan about a non targeting call. Could’ve it been called targeting? Sure, but it wasn’t & that ONE call is not why they lost. How about u had a 25 point lead in the 2nd Half. How about after we scored to make the deficit 17, Mendoza is cooking us, & for some inexplicable reason, Wilcox changes QB as Cal is driving for another score, halting not only momentum, but killing Mendoza’s rhythm. Instead of u scoring a TD to go up 24, u kick a FG to go up 20.

How about u gave up several 4th down conversions extending our drives.

How about ur CB misplayed a tipped ball for an int that would’ve killed the game.

How about u gave up a 70 yrd run & catch to our #1 WR when we were pinned at our 7 yrd line late in the 4th.

How about u gave up a 3rd & 20 to a wide open RB on a check down play.

How about u blew ur T.O’s trying to realign ur defense, only to give up key conversions.

When fans try to blame ONE play for a L, they r being disingenuous and shifting blame. If u’re relying upon the refs, that’s a bad game plan. VT fans can bytch (& I have no idea y) about the end of their game, but the fact is ur coach gifted us at a min. 6 extra points by not kick a FG late in the game, & squib kicking it, giving us great field position to score 3 points going into half time.

Blame ur coaches for these bone headed decisions, not the refs, & I said that against GT, too. It’s bull ****; we won, & took their souls.

Big FACTS as always

It has to be continuous engagement so Cooper was not engaged until he passes the 2yd line and by that time the ball was out of Cam’s hand. If u watch the whole clip I wouldn’t even consider it engaged in a block. The defender sides steps Cooper and Cooper just lightly taps him with his right hand.

That’s blocking. It’s ******, but technically by the rulebook it’s still blocking

I don't understand these "rigged" complaints. If the refs really were trying to rig things, would they be flagging for potentially drive killing penalties like illegal shifts and unsportsmanlike conduct in those final few minutes? At the end of the day, as others have said, Miami didn't win just because of one targeting non-call. If that's all you've got to go on, you're just looking to hate.

Great post Sir.

And the same last week!

How about Virginia Tech not trying a fake field goal, trying to go for the throat and instead go up 30-17?
How about Virginia Tech not wasting time on the last drive that ended with the reversed Hail Mary call?

Everyone recites as gospel that there is a 3 yard exception for lineman engaged with and blocking a defender. It applies to any lineman blocking or not. See below.. Some caveats:

1. This is the 2016-2017 NCAA Football Rules and Interpretations and it may have been updated.

2. The document is 220 pages long and I may have missed "an interpretation" of the rule. But I used the search function so I'm fairly confident that this is the entire rule.
