I never knew where the ball was at, and it seemed as every Vandy drive lasted 30 minutes, but in the end it was an Auburn victory on a day we couldn't have played any worse. Thanks again and War Eagle !! The Yahoo Sports app shows results of last play and current position of ball on field. Plus stats etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ILLEGAL to hurdle in college football unless you have the ball. SECTION 15. Hurdling ARTICLE 1. a. Hurdling is an attempt by a player to jump with one or both feet or knees foremost over an opponent who is still on his feet (Rule 9-1-13). b. “On his feet’’ means that no part of the opponent’s body other than one or both feet is in contact with the ground. Hurdling ARTICLE 13. There shall be no hurdling (Exception: The ball carrier may hurdle an opponent). We see hurdling every week. Davis jumped over to make a tackle on D. Bamas D tackle jumped over a guy to make a sack. You can leap to block fgs, it was a clean leap. heck of a play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I note that last season a bama DL hurdled the LSU center and blocked a FG which was declared legal....but of course that was bama so maybe that's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can jump straight up but you can NOT hurdle in college football. There's a difference and it should have been a penalty. You are completely wrong here.

Must be legal in the SEC because a bama guy did the exact same thing last year against LSU https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=ymyy-t-999&p=bama+lineman+hurdles+line+to+block+LSU+field+goal#id=2&vid=7e21d67667cf70efa6ed4c722b4e9569&action=click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 It would take every other SEC team besides bammer staging a coup to get better officiating. bammer is the SEC favorite and whatever they want they get They help the nickatator have every advantage they can get away with.

I don't get the Tuesday reference. Perhaps I'm just blanking. However, I know I'm not the only one who thinks it's utterly corrupt that Shaw is a bammer and the SEC offices are located in Birmingham. I try not to be a conspiracy theorist when it comes to bama, but it's just too hard to not overlook it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmbseeker00 119 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 God it would be great if one of our coaches carried a copy of the rule book on them, so they could run up to them and show it to their face while they deliberate whether hurdling is a penalty....SEC officials could really benefit from this help.

wallaka 7 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 He didn't lead with his feet when he jumped. That's probably why they didn't call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnpride99 6 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm not arguing your point on the hurdling rule. It just seems like it's a very common move in college football. We see it all the time on highlight reels of guys doing it. On a more important note. I think Au tried to get cute and it almost shot themselves in the foot today. Pettway was getting hit hard and a lot early because Vandy knew we weren't going to pass. Hopefully the young man is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
