Void the game.
I wonder what the prop bet line was on that happening?
Sounds like a stunt Belichick would pull.
The Big Ten officials would make great republican congressmen.
And USC are typical Democrats, as Harry Reid would have said, “They [Northwestern] didn’t win, did they?”
I’m a Trojan, and even I thought it was not only illegal but also unethical and disrespectful—concepts which appear to be unknown to Lincoln Riley.
That said: Danny White, the old Dallas Cowboys punter (and backup quarterback, iirc) ruined punting for me. He was always looking for opportunities to just take off and run for the first down—almost always successfully. Why won’t anyone do that anymore?
Don’t void it. USC should lose it by forfeit.
Larry Seiple’s run probably saved the 72 Dolphins perfect season.
Some old, white, football guy once said, “Winning is the only thing.”
I don’t know that this play would have been illegal, since Huard was the first USC “punter” on the field in punt formation. The punts afterward were Johnson, and those could have been penalized.
Which is why I included “unethical” and “disrespectful”. If you played golf with Riley, you’d need to follow him into the woods to make sure he didn’t employ his foot-mashie.
......and the same guy probably said, "The runner-up is just the first loser."
I was wondering about that when the announcers mentioned it. Even they were confused.
Cause football now is a game of derived percentages. No one cares to try anything risky. If they fail, they get fired and lose a ridiculously overpayed job security blanket.
What was once fun, it is now as boring and predictable as watching reruns of Kirk and the Gorn for the 1 thousandth time.
What I’ve seen in the last few years of college football which I think should be banned is players on the same team wearing the same number.
The rule is they can’t both be on the field at the same time, which is obvious.
A lot of teams will have an offensive player usually at RB or WR, wearing the same number as a player on defense, usually a LB or DB.
I thought the rule was you can’t change numbers on a player midgame, if that happened it definitely should be a penalty, if not then it’s legal to have two players on the team with the same number, which I think should also be banned, right now it’s not.
Does anyone else recall when young people were encouraged to play football, basketball and baseball to learn fair play and sportsmanship?
That was before my time
