🏈 LSU vs UF: Fournette against UF defender: Penalty, or no?

[BamaFan334]

I was under the impression it was just like Eddie Lacy did in the BCS Championship against Notre Dame, but I was wrong. that was a balled fist punch. say what you want, but that was not a forearm and no one throws a fisted stiff arm.

Question...... do you think he intentionally threw a punch at a helmet........mid play?

95% of idiot football players seem to think punching some one with a helmet on is the best move. I never understood it myself.

Its definitely a penalty but i don't think they wanted to see it.

No one "intends" to hold? Really? So what is the "intent" in grabbing someones jersey or putting them in a bear hug to stop the defender from getting to the QB? You guys are ridiculous. Had that been Derrick Henry I dont think 90% of you would be making this argument... Just my opinion...

That wasn't what I was questioning. .....

Yes, there are times when a player knows he must commit a penalty in order to prevent something (QB getting hurt, a TD being scored). But when does a player say, "I'm going to commit a penalty on this play. I think I'll try holding this time" and then does it?

A player doesn't jump offside and say, "I meant to do that." The intent of the player is never a criteria when a penalty is called.

 

[rueben]

Intent is not a determinant of a penalty. Nobody intends to hold. Nobody intends to facemask. Nobody intends to jump offside.

Umm, maybe not jump off sides, but yeah, many intend to grab the face mask, and especially hold. They just don't intend to get caught.

jeez!

it was intentional...it wasn't intentional...it was a penalty...it wasn't a penalty.

all i can say is if he tries something like that to one of our guys, Foster will lay his ass out again.





and whey are we even talking about an lsu player on the ALABAMA forum? sorry, that just aggravates the hell out of me. this board should be for ALABAMA football and ALABAMA football ONLY!!!

Punching a guy with a helmet on is as dumb as it gets.

 

[mrchase]

We can argue over intent or penalty. ..or whatever.... only one person knows what really happened.
