VDay posted:Taylor Kelly is going to miss the UCLA game, might be back for USC or Stanford. I was on a ledge thinking that he was done entirely, so I'm relieved that it's only a couple of games. The bye week next week is well timed for both Kelly to heal and Bercovici to prepare. Moeakiola might make it back for UCLA, so that's also good news.

I wasn't Blacksburg for the game this weekend and thank gently caress I went on vacation instead. On the plus side, at least we helped tank Ohio State's strength of schedule even more.

The immediate effect of this was a massive increase in the number of early-season events. In the particular case of the Great Alaska Shootout, ESPN appears to have dropped their support for the event not long after the NCAA rule change, which is why the '07 field had Michigan, Texas Tech, Virginia Tech and Gonzaga in it, while the '08 tournament featured no major-conference teams at all and only one team who would even make the NCAAs that year (and then as a 13 seed).

Penn State's offensive line is abysmal, worse than I've ever seen. It's a miracle we won. Our defense, on the other hand, is really good. Any game left on Penn State's schedule could go either way, except probably Michigan State. I have to admit, Rutgers put on a hell of a show. Their fans were really into it. Crowd noise was a definite factor. The team played harder than it has before. The Rutgers defensive line was really disruptive, and I credit that with keeping Penn State's big plays to a minimum. I thought he'd be able to torch their secondary, but Hack didn't have time to throw deep almost the entire game. At certain points, especially in the second half, the offensive playcalling for Penn State was maddening. You knew every third down was a blitz, but the coordinator was completely unwilling to throw screens or quick slants or anything that could neutralize the blitz. We have two tune up games to improve the run and pass blocking in time for Michigan. UMass isn't a good team. Northwestern is usually a tough matchup for us, but they're horrible this year.

I am not one to harp on individual plays, South Carolina won the game...all there is to it. Spurrier owns us...and will do so until the day he is no longer on this earth. That said, I have a question about the intentional grounding from Mason. Hicks appeared to be an eligible receiver on that ridiculous play call on 1st and goal from the 4. We see blown up screen plays every weekend, most of the time the QB will plant the ball firmly in the ground at the feet of the RB if the defense has the screen play diagnosed. Clemson did the same thing against us 2 weeks prior deep in their territory with no flags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LR1gKalumg fast forward to 2:14:30, I believe this is what Mason was trying to do before it hit the Carolina players leg. Either way, like I said...this is NOT why we lost the game...just curious about the call.

IMO it was just a bad call. The ball hit the defender's leg and it bounced further away than was intended, so it looked like intentional grounding.

SOCAR hasn't had their annual inexplicable loss yet, so I think we will be ok for the east. Also, that's probably the best O-line we will see all year. Secondary is a shitball of epic proportions, but the front 7 isn't bad.

Groucho Marxist posted:I don't think it was grounding since it hit a defender, but in your example the QB was in the middle of being hit and grounding never gets called from that. The ref would have to judge that the ball would have crossed the neutral zone with an eligible receiver in the area had it not been touched to avoid a grounding call. A QB can't just drill the ball at an onrushing defender as a get-out-of-grounding-free card. I didn't see the Georgia/USC play, so I can't really comment on that, but simply touching a defender doesn't negate grounding automatically.

Grantham targeted, and got, select top talent in Shaq Wiggins, JHC etc...but the supporting cast when you lose the top tier guys is just horrible. Pruitt said as much when he got to UGA...the players available, including incumbents, are just not that good. We are at the top or leading for quite a few big name DB's that are right up his alley, hopefully we don't blow the rest of our games and scare them away.

Arent the rules for screens a bit different considering linemen will be starting to heard downfield on the play? QB's are normally taught to plant the ball at the RB's feet (the defender was in the way in this case) on blown up screen plays.

There's nothing special in the rules about screen passes that I'm aware of. Linemen are still not allowed downfield before the pass is thrown. Since a screen pass is generally going to be intended to stay behind the LoS, having a receiver in the area is going to be the crucial bit.

I'm not sure where it would have been without hitting the defender, but that extra down wouldn't have mattered since Bobo forgot he had a Heisman contender that he should feed the ball.

If the pass is behind the LOS, then linemen can move downfield. If a pass is beyond the LOS, then linemen cannot be downfield. Generally, if the pass was directed at a receiver, then it should not have been grounding. If he was in someone's grasp and just desperation tossed it, that's more likely to be so.

Richt's probably right that the grounding call wasn't as open and shut as it initially appeared, but yeah, I believe they do factor intent into those calls as well. In any event, it was still an abysmal play call and an even worse decision by a fifth-year senior, so I kinda feel like getting hung up on that is missing the forest for the trees. I just saw that our game against Mizzou in a couple weeks will be their SEC opener.  We'll have played three conference games by then.
