2014 College Football Thread: The Will Muschamp Memorial

[Akiyama]

To be fair, the QB's not exactly lighting it up either lol

and I think that spot was bad, but still shouldn't have been a first down. think his knee was down before the ball was past the line.

[Anoat]

Oh Arkansas YA BLEW IT. Seriously though watching those two offenses ride the struggle bus was painful.

[FNH]

good lord layne kiffin is an incredibly terrible coach

Shit QB that is locked into 1 receiver and only wants the deep ball.

[Plow]

uh... did they just run an extra playclock off for them on a false start?

[Akiyama]

Grats on the win, Bama fans lol, least you won today

[FNH]

that was terrible

[FNH]

uh... did they just run an extra playclock off for them on a false start?

10 sec runoff for penalties in the last minute, no?

[Plow]

afk running a clock down from 10 minutes by false starting 20 times...

10 sec runoff for penalties in the last minute, no?

defensive penalties

and technically that can be declined


I'm absolutely positive you don't get to run an extra playclock's worth of time off by false starting.

[Akiyama]

ya, just googling to double check, looks like the offending team can choose to use a timeout, but since the penalty was on Alabama, the run off counted? I'm not sure D: College has some dumb rules.

[FNH]

arkansas 5 yds rushing in the 2nd half....probably why they didn't win

[Akiyama]

Rule 3-4-4 (New Article)
10-Second Subtraction from Game Clock
ARTICLE 4.
a. With the game clock running and less than one minute remaining in either half, if a player of either team commits a foul that causes the clock to stop, the officials may subtract 10 seconds from the game clock at the option of the offended team. The fouls that fall in this category include but are not limited to:
(1) Any foul that prevents the snap (e.g., false start, encroachment, defensive offside by contact in the neutral zone, etc.);

Is what I found

[FNH]

All I know is, I'll take the win but I am not happy with how it was achieved

[Kirin]

If anything, I'd have to say thanks. You probably emptied Arkansas's playbook a bit and gave UGA some good footage going into next week.

The false start happened with a little more than 1 minute left.

And then they restarted the playclock and let it run for 20+ seconds before they started the play.

Even bama didn't realize what was going on, as evidenced by the fact that with a new playclock they could have knelt instead of running another play.

[Plow]

also KENNY THRILL

[Headspace]

Jeff Driskel so bad

[FNH]

That game film should not be viewed by anyone

[Anoat]

Tallahassee gets Game Day next week for FSU/Notre Dame. Yeah baby~ (Assuming Winston is still playing)

[Plow]

(Assuming Winston is still playing)

so uh, this is interesting

http://www.si.com/college-football/2...linary-hearing

Winston’s participation in the university’s disciplinary process would carry great legal risk for him. A university disciplinary hearing would involve both fact-finding and testimony. Law enforcement or attorneys for Winston’s accuser could later attempt to subpoena these materials and use them against Winston. While a finding that Winston violated university rules would not mean that he broke any laws, the finding would likely be admissible evidence in a prosecution or civil litigation.

As noted above, Winston could still face criminal charges until 2017. Winston was only investigated for criminal conduct and not tried, meaning the Double Jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment does not protect him from being charged and tried. Winston thus has an incentive to prevent any new facts or testimony from emerging that might persuade a prosecutor or a grand jury to take a second look at what happened.

Winston also has an incentive to avoid the jurisdictional reach of Florida State. If Winston withdrew from school, he would move outside of the university’s jurisdiction and could not be forced to participate in a university disciplinary hearing. The same is true of any potential investigation by the Atlantic Coast Conference or the NCAA, which would lose its leverage over Winston -- his eligibility to play football for an NCAA member institution -- the moment he quits college football. These institutions could still conduct hearings into Winston and related decision-making by Florida State, but his absence would significantly limit their investigatory scope.

[Anoat]

Yeah I read that same SI article earlier today and it certainly raises some interesting possibilities. I presume Winston's attorney (who will be representing him in the forthcoming civil suit that everyone knows is coming) is well aware of this and wouldn't let him do anything that could endanger his case further, and from all indications his lawyer has said he will be cooperating fully with the university's investigation. *shrug*
