I meant false starts, not offsides. My bad

Looked like GT was jumping off the line early about a dozen times with no flags. (I counted 4 on their first posession).

The spots were intentionally bad, no other way around that. They were giving GT a yard, and taking 1 from us all game.

Golden better complain or they will keep this **** up.

I try not to gripe about the Refs (I leave that to Clemson fans), but that left side of the GT OL jumped several times. They would lift the hand a split second before the ball moved. It got ridiculous after the 4th time!
 
Just watched the first GT drive again. On their first 3rd and 1 the LG clearly offsides. On the first 4th and 1 same thing. Unreal how refs did not see that.
 
Stevie Wonder crew came from Hotlanta..............that's what happened. Emmert is the manager of that group , too.
 
I may sound like a coach, but they should never be in position to the point that they are able to get bad spots. :fistbump:

I've watched them quite a bit, and I always think I'm seeing offsides. Its never called and the opposing coaches never really seem to complain that much....
 
Some of you guys need to go read up on what constitutes an offsides and what a false start is and the difference between them.
 
It was pretty bad. Glad I'm not crazy. I was pounding brews Saturday, and thought I was seeing ****.

I remember this coming up with GT a year or two ago and I thought it was explained why it is not a false start, but sadly I do not remember and cannot find the thread. I did notice on one play that the ball was snapped to the QB who didnt pull back right away like QBs usually do. Instead he just held the ball while standing there, so it made it look like a false start. I dont know if this was happening every play and/or if it gives them some type of advantage b/c of the option; just an observation I had on one play.
 
Their OL got numerous fast starts that were blatantly obvious and I could not figure out why they weren't calling it. Unless it was their center taking off after snapping the ball their is no justifiable excuse as to why they weren't called. It happened at least 10 times that I counted. And it's a false start, not offsides.
