Rece Davis during the Cinci/USF game.
3rd down, QB throws a pass under pressure and the Center (ineligible receiver) tries to catch it. Flag is thrown.
Rece Davis says that it's a penalty and loss of downs (incorrect statement).
Refs mark the ball off & they are going to replay 3rd down then other team decides that they are going to decline the penalty, so it's now back to 4th down & the same yardage is previous was. Then Rece states that he knew he was right and it was loss of downs + penalty yardage. Wrong again, Rece. They declined the penalty. He should have known because the yds on 3rd/4th down were the same.
I can't believe these announcers don't understand basic rules & can't interpret what is happening on the field.
