Where are our opponents penalties?

I swear in the UF game and this game the defense was simulating the snap to try and draw a false start on us. They should have been called multiple times for a defensive delay of game penalty.

USF as well. They finally called USF for the delay of game the third time.

Will be interesting to see how next Friday is officiated. Louisville is more penalized then we are. If they end up with some 3 for 15 BS... lol

I have problem with a getting tossed if they launched head-first at an opponent or even tackling head-first. But in many instances it is a grey area where tackler position himself to make a clean tackle only for ball carrier to shift his position to enable helmet-to-helmet tackle. At a maximum, call penalty on the tackle but to have him suspended for the next 4 quarters is too much. These guys are not professional playing the game for a long time. To many, four quarters is a sizable chunk of their college experience. It is unnecessary.

Yes, that is my other problem with the rule. I have always advocated for a punishment more similar to the Flagrant 1/2 rule in basketball. However, I do worry about the implementation of that with the rules being written the way they are. The NCAA needs to better draft AND train on this in order for this to be effective.

What's interesting is that the rulebook has a bunch of extra stuff in the beginning of the book about concussions and targeting because its SO IMPORTANT to the NCAA, but then they go and butcher the whole **** thing with bull**** implementation. It's so obvious all they care about is having their compliance team check the boxes to avoid litigation.

I think we went a whole year without a holding call once.

Very true.

Miami has had more penalties called than their opponents have in every game.

Miami’s opponents cumulatively average 6.02 penalties per game, but against Miami average 3.4.

Bethune Cookman had 2 penalties against us, but averages 7.25 per game against their FCS schedule.


Either this highly talented team isn’t making its opponents uncomfortable despite being undefeated against them, or the refs are looking the other way.
