Called correctly, offsetting.
A blatant disregard for an established rule in college football: cheating is one word for that, gotta another?
And if a D lineman (with a traditional lineman number 50-79) comes onto the field as a blocking back, they have to check in with the referee. I think even lineman with numbers 90-99 have to check in too if they'll be in the backfield.
Can we do this? Please explain how/why the rule was broken from your perspective. As I'm a bit confused (nothing new)
The play in question had the punter go onto the field and into the huddle (there may have been additional players go onto the field/come off the field to give the impression of a full punt team going in). Alabama coaches in the press box saw it and alerted the field coaches who called for the punt return team to go onto the field - including Waddle. Auburn broke the huddle and the punter lined up as a WR. Nix (the QB, never left the field). When the Alabama coaches saw this, they tried to pull Waddle off the field. This caused a penalty of five yards for illegal substitution which gave Auburn a first down.
Saban called the rule at half in the interview. I
What did he call it?
It's the heading of the subsection quote. I have it at home and it's searchable here. The NCAA rule link has been pointed to often. Unfair play, aling with hiding balls. Should be an easy search.
lol....
Does ref run over n tell opponent coach? Might...but never have seen...
You laugh? Don't be throwing unsportsmanlike around.
Exactly.... because also the QB ( nix) has been used as punter before....and had shifted from "under center" to punt formation..several times....so....
it s funny...all started on innocent personal comment "he isnt a bad guy"...in reference to Gus..
Patrick Reed fan.
Most of the time it's done on the way onto the field. They just need to get the refs attention, they know to look for it. It's no longer running up to the ref and explaining it to him.
no idea who that is.
As a sportsman who's citing this particular rule, I'd like to know the difference in applying the rule between Auburn subbing their punter in at WR, and Alabama subbing Slade Bolden in to play QB?
