That was the game plan and when he threw his 5th TD pass I did question that being best practice. The rush yards also took a dip with them playing at a deficit.Here's another stat to throw out: Purdue just held the 4th ranked rushing offense in the country (324 yds/game) to 128 yards. For the record, we outrushed them 159 to 128.
Granted, we sold out on stopping the run and gave up some pretty wide open TD passes, but this defense has been pretty good this year against stopping the run.
Pereira said something about the ball breaking the sideline before reaching the line of gain. I have no idea what the rule is.My takeaway:
How in the hell did Brohm compose himself on the 4th down pass and run by Jones? The call and review was awful and I would have said” Hey ref get off your knees, you’re blowing the game”. I spot the call and review well beyond the incompetence marker.
yeah he also said "Mosley didn't get the ball from Tate" in regards to that fumble.Pereira said something about the ball breaking the sideline before reaching the line of gain. I have no idea what the rule is.

Exactly. Schedule is tough too. 6-7 wins with exciting football is fine.No doubt, 2018 is going to be a challenge, attempting to repeat or improve upon a 7-6 2017. To your point, we're very thin in a few key areas. With the talent he's bringing in, I see it taking 2-3 years before he has the depth to reasonably expect 8, 9, or 10 wins.

That's the problem when I watch 3 levels of football, the intricacies are so different you forget what is what.I believe you're right. They were trying to determine where the ball crossed the sideline.
I thought there was enough there to show he had reached the 1st down marker, but no doubt I was wearing my Gold and Black glasses.

If that is the rule, they got it right meaning I have seen more examples where they got it wrongI posted this in a couple other threads also where it was being discussed -
The most forward point of the ball when declared out of bounds between the goal lines is the point of forward progress (A.R. 8-2-1-I and A.R. 8-5-1-VII) (Exception: When a ball carrier is airborne as he crosses the sideline, forward progress is determined by the position of the ball as it crosses the sideline (A.R. 8-2-1-II-III and V-IX).

IF that is, indeed, the rule, they never follow it.Pereira said something about the ball breaking the sideline before reaching the line of gain. I have no idea what the rule is.
Just curious, what situations are ignored? The word “airborne” is key in this case (vs. running out of bounds).IF that is, indeed, the rule, they never follow it.

The download for the PDF is atIt says "between the goal lines," so at the goal line they treat it differently? We have all see many instances of players diving and the ball hiting the front of the pylon, which is always called a TD. Otherwise whenever the ball hits the front of the pylon it is not a TD, because the ball had to be out-of-bounds before touching the front of the pylon.

You missed the "...or the first down marker itself, whichever further advances the ball,"A.R. 8-2-1-II-III (a) reads “unless you’re ohio State, Michigan or Notre Dame .. in which case forward progress is wherever the ball is when part of your body lands out of bounds”
Not disagreeing with you. Just saying it seems like they usually mark it where the ball touches, right or wrong. Seems like the rule is not enforced all the time.Just curious, what situations are ignored? The word “airborne” is key in this case (vs. running out of bounds).
I believe at halftime of the TCU game tonight, they said Dean Blandino will be on hand to field any ?'s from fans across the countryNot disagreeing with you. Just saying it seems like they usually mark it where the ball touches, right or wrong. Seems like the rule is not enforced all the time.
Penn State's Barkley just went airborne to get the first down. Looked like the ball was spotted pretty much where his feet landed.
I’m with you biker. They missed this one. That’s not airborne. He should have gotten ball position when he touched out of bounds per the rule. Instead they treated it as if he were in the air and therefore placed it where the ball brokenthe plain of the sideline.his left leg continues touching the ground while extending to the marker, so I think he would be less 'airborne' than even a normal running stride could produce (both feet temporarily off ground)
