Belk Bowl- Virginia Tech vs Arkansas in game thread

[BigDofBA]

He was also claiming Vtech had to for for it on 4th down at midfield when it was a 17 pt game. lol

Yeah, it was like 4th and 11 from the 48 yard line and it was 17-0 with like 9 minutes left in the second quarter.

Idiot.

[Eddy Munny]

I'm not sure that's right.. I had to have seen holding/block in the back penalties during punts before the receiving team actually catches the punts... Right?

I mean it seems so strange thinking about it but..

It's not that common of a call.... I mean I'm not 100% sure this is even what happened as I'm only half-ass watching the game but that's what I believe happened.

The whole set of circumstances just made for a weird sequence and it didn't help that the commentators were completely clueless.

[rizespor]

That is bizarre. For some reason can't wrap my head around it but that must be what happened. I'm surprised of the thousands and thousands of punts I don't ever remember something like this happening before as it seems like it's something I'd remember

[YoungGambler]

What it says on Espn play by play

4th and 1 at ARK 19

(1:52 - 2nd) VIRGINIA TECH Penalty, Defensive Holding (10 Yards) to the Ark 29 for a 1ST down

[Eddy Munny]

Except a holding penarly on a speical special teams return is just added to the end of the run as a 10 yard losss. So no that wouldn't explain the screw up

Bro, you didn't read all my posts. I addressed this.

[ans61201]

Well as confusing as it is they just explained it

[Eddy Munny]

Yeah, commentator confirms penalty was at the line of scrimmage.

[rizespor]

Either way props to fatboy for recognizing the situation and getting the call in his favor

[ans61201]

Bro, you didn't read all my posts. I addressed this.

And your reasoning was incorrect. The reason was just explained. A rule nobody on this thread knew about

[ans61201]

Perfect start for tech backers. Shiiiit

[rizespor]

Still watching on mute. Guess I missed out on the explanation

[JayDr3am]

really ?

in that case ill wet my beak w 2nd half moneyline

yeah i watched him say it. i really do think they will come out with their foot still on the peddle. cant believe they are a touchdown dog

[Fred The Hammer]

Jeez....so predictable. Glad they missed the fg before half

[krk1030]

Knew a td was coming early 3rd


Where was that in the first half

[ans61201]

Yeah, commentator confirms penalty was at the line of scrimmage.

And the penalty at the line of scrimmage in a normal situation is added to end of the run. It only mattered because of a live ball and early whistle.

[Brutus84]

Arkansas better keep firing. Soft ass coverage

[Eddy Munny]

And your reasoning was incorrect. The reason was just explained. A rule nobody on this thread knew about

It wasn't incorrect. The inadverdent whistle is irrelevant because Virginia Tech recovered the ball, thus the accepted penalty means first and ten for Arkansas... which is what I said all along. You're just dim.

[ans61201]

Ark looked pretty flat there. Pretty bad break to get ball at half and 90 seconds later the other team has 7.

[ans61201]

It wasn't incorrect. The inadverdent whistle is irrelevant because Virginia Tech recovered the ball, thus the accepted penalty means first and ten for Arkansas... which is what I said all along. You're just dim.

We can wager whatever you'd like, a holding penalty at the line of scrimmage on a punt by the return team is tacked on to the end of the run in any other situation. Again just explained for your hard to understand self, your reasoning was only correct because of the added layer of early whistle

[Bluehorseshoe]

This is crazy.

[Brutus84]

Is this penetrate trying to throw the game

[Bluehorseshoe]

Did that go into the endzone or straight out of bounds?

[BigDofBA]

The call was right. I figured out what happened.

We are all confused because the announcers suck.

They acted like here was a hold on the return when it was actually a hold at the line of scrimmage.

The recovery or lack thereof was irrelevant.

The announcers should have let us know where the flag was actually at. Instead they just acted like Tech recovered and it was a horrible call.

[YoungGambler]

booo that fumble when you have the over

[JayDr3am]

alright razorbacks lets not start this shit

[Eddy Munny]

But you told me if there was an immediate recovery after the whistle, that the whistle does not then signify a dead ball. Those were your words. You said that to me and then did a little turkey dance, I'm guessing because of the alcohol consumption.

[ans61201]

Did that go into the endzone or straight out of bounds?

Thought it was was close enough for a second look, but they're all out of delays lol. Damn it, secure the ball. Back up 24 this is over. Now they have new life

[BigDofBA]

Did that go into the endzone or straight out of bounds?

It looked out of bounds. Didn't the ref standing right there mark it at the 1 yard line?

Then they huddled and ruled touchback.

[Fred The Hammer]

Guys risk losing the ball every weekend by stretching for the goal line when it would be 1st, 2nd or 3rd/goal from the half yard line. Its human nature but have to be smart. That TD puts Ark up 24 again and prob ends the game

[ans61201]

But you told me if there was an immediate recovery after the whistle, that the whistle does not then signify a dead ball. Those were your words. You said that to me and then did a little turkey dance, I'm guessing because of the alcohol consumption.

No dance. In ANY situation without an early whistle, your "penalty at the line of scrimmage" explanation is no good. Nobody on this forum or in that arena knew the rule except ark coach. Yourself included.

[Bluehorseshoe]

It's unreal. I'm going to shoot this TV soon.

[YoungGambler]

what the hell -7 is out

[Brutus84]

VT has to be perfect still to win. Better not see that shit happen.

[Eddy Munny]

Touche... but you still did the turkey dance. I know what I saw.

[Brutus84]

This soft ass coverage gotta stop
