Need a little help - can someone explain to me...

....how this is NOT a block in the back.

Am I unfamiliar with or wrong about the criteria for block in the back?

Did you miss the letters in the middle of the field?

Or the ones on the officials shirts?

I mean the ref is literally staring right at the block in the back

Good ole officiating at it’s finest.

Yes. I'm watching. This is going to be a long game for Virginia and anyone looking for balanced officiating.

That's definitely a block in the back.ref looking right at it.

It's called HOME COOKING au Celtic green sauce.

Now the question is simple. Are these blind referee's ACC or Big Ten or a ad hoc Independents.

Oh it's not just home cooking. I'm telling you all, and have been, college football is becoming as fake as professional wrestling.

Some of these calls are ridiculous.....ACC refs are garbage.
I hate being in this conference.

He wasn't wearing one of our jerseys. We'd have probably gotten a suspension on top of the 15 had one of our guys done this

Actually it's very simple.....the actual NCAA rulebook states

"When a Notre Dame player does something that would otherwise be called a penalty ..in South Bend, in their home stadium...no matter how obvious or blatant...it shall NOT result in a penalty"

I'm really quite surprised that you did not already know this

great point

 

[The Svengali]

I was watching that play live and immediately said it was a block in the back.

The biggest home field advantage in all of college football, it's as if the refs feel that to call a penalty on Notre Dame would be some type of offense to God. Not kidding. Now the opposing team is good and ****ed.

This is the most accurate post ever in CIS History. Just be really bored and watch ND at home on any given Saturday.

 

[Go Canes!!]

The same way Mallory getting his hands tangled with a defender who had no chance of making the tackle is a hold against the Turds and we can go half a season without anyone holding Willis, Jackson or Garvin.

 

[Disgustipated]

Have to see the whole play from start to finish. If the blocker engaged the defender from the front and maintained contact through the block this wouldn't be a block in the back. Initial contact has to actually be in the back.
