You see penalties on those picks so infrequently. I assume they're happening all the time.

Did you watch Ohio St to close out the season? Barrett had no ability to throw a football

That was not a top 5 team

This is my rationale as well. Teams can get better or worse as the year goes on. Oklahoma would beat Ohio State if they played in a bowl game.

I agree. It's firmly in the RPO lineman downfield, borderline holding camp of penalties. Could be called but probably won't most times, especially not on a winning play in the NCG

Basically I see complaining about a pick as the same thing as going "they're not gonna call holding on that?" on every single play an opponent runs. It's dumb and I'm not going to do it. Clemson outplayed bama and deserves the W

we run pick plays all the loving time im not mad about them running a pick play im mad that we refuse to call defensive timeouts when we are clearly getting gashed

as soon as that PI got called that put the ball on the 2 or w/e i knew they were running the pick play. like just call a loving timeout and make sure you cover it

I seem to remember Notre Dame lost to Texas in part because they got called for a pick play, and then Alabama loses to Clemson because of a pick play.


So pick plays are cool when it means teams that I want to lose do indeed lose.

Emron posted:

Part of allowing those 31 points is allowing your defense to be on the field for 90+ plays against one of the best offenses in college football. If you don't possess, your defense gets tired. It's not on the qb, it's on the playcalling for the entire second half, which went:

-run for three to four yards
-long pass
-long pass
-punt

Even the best defense is going to have trouble if they're only off the field a few minutes at a time for an entire half

I'm going to allow you this excuse, but please note that us Auburn fans are going to need it back when you're done with it, it's our favorite.

The problem with ;ick plays is that no one knows the difference between a legal pick and an illegal pick and the refs never call it consistently

but Bama lost so its cool

It was 2014, but yes. Undefeated #5 Notre Dame scored the game winning TD with like 10 seconds left that would have beaten undefeated #1 Florida State at Doak. But they called OPI on Notre Dame.

My thought: The DB initiates contact on the play as the WR does not run directly at him therefore the wide receiver can do anything he wants.

On the earlier TD pick play, the DB also initiated contact by running down into the TE to try to press and got his rear end blown up for it. That also = not a pick play.

If the DB's are allowed to press off the line, the WR's should be allowed to run their asses over.

If college has the same rule as the NFL, then it's legal for the WR to initiate contact within 1 yard of the LoS, which is why you see so many shallow crossing routes like that at the goalline.

Also there's a Bama fan currently taking hostages at a credit union on Bear Bryant ave.

One thing I gotta say about college fans is they're way more hardcore then NFL fans.

I have to be honest, man, I'm not really clear on the point you're trying to make. Are you saying Hurts is at fault? The defense? I don't know. Here is a set of things that are true: bama's defense got beat at a critical time, bama's offense couldn't consistently produce and survived off a few big broken plays, and Clemson played consistently well on both sides of the ball. Sorry if that offends

All I'm saying really is that "the defense can't play well when the offense keeps going three-and-out" is exactly what Auburn fans have been complaining about for years, so it's strange hearing it from someone else for a change. I ain't mad at ya.

I've always agreed with it! That's been bama's gameplay for a few years: smother the offense and get the defense tired, let your RB run for 150 in the second half (though in this case it was let Mike Williams run deep routes lol)
