    Three QBs on the East roster for Shrine Game:

    OFFENSE              
    # Position Last Name First Name School HT / WT  
    1 QB Ferguson Riley   Memphis 6040 / 210  
    9 QB Flowers Quinton   South Florida 6000 / 210  
    16 QB Barrett JT   Ohio State 6020 / 222  

     

    Three RBs on the roster...would have expected more:

    OFFENSE            
    # Position Last Name First Name School HT / WT
    7 RB Webb Ralph   Vanderbilt 5100 / 202
    22 RB Edmonds Chase   Fordham 5090 / 210
    23 RB Johnson D'Ernest   South Florida 5010 / 208

    Wow, never realized Johnson is only 5' 1". That's crazy, he looks way bigger on tv!

    I think the defense is much better.  I think the offense is in the process of clicking but probably needs some more time to learn the nuances of Gilbert's offense.  Losing Mack and Adams was a blow.

    Special teams issues have to be be fixable.  It is not like our kickers suck, it is just blocking assignments.  That being said, that needs to get corrected ASAP.  Teams are going to go all out now trying to block kicks and punts.

    Don't worry, we gave up those blocks intentionally to set up the fakes once we get to conference play. Strong playing the long con.

    Shouldn't even have been roughing

    You can't go high on a QB while he's throwing. That's called everytime
    He hit him in the chest after 1 step. BS call.
    Launching. Look it up. It's roughing. Shouldn't have been targeting
    Launching requires a hit to the head. Maybe you're the one who needs to look up the rules.

    Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make contact in the head or neck area

    • A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground

    • Leading with helmet, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with contact at the head or neck area

    • Lowering the head before attacking by initiating contact with the crown of the helmet

    That's for targeting. Look it up for unnecessary roughness/roughing.

    You leave your feet like that on a QB who is in the act of throwing, it will always be called. The ejection was horsefeathers

     

     

    That's literally the only place launching is defined in the rulebook. The roughing section is pretty vague and doesn't specify anything other than "No defensive player shall charge into a passer or throw him to the ground when it is obvious the ball has been thrown."

     

    But I guess I shouldn't expect anything else from the NCAA, where nothing is ever clearly defined or applied consistently.

     

    Also, I apologize for the hostility. Football does that to me.
