🏈 Should Alabama have been given the ball on the onside kick?

[Big_Fan]

Danielson made the comment that the Vol player hitting Julio was legal because the ball had bounced...but on the replay it appeared to be kicked straight up in the air.

Onside kicks have to travel 10 yards for the kicking team to recover, but the kicking team cannot impede the receiver from catching the ball if it goes straight up in the air.

Did the ball bounce? It appeared to be kick catch interference to me, and should have been Alabama ball at midfield.

I thought surely that it bounced...

Like to be wrong on that one. That'll deflate a lot other fluff.

Who cares! We won!

A win is a win is a win is a win.

While all of that is true,if it did go straight up and not bounce(like it looked like to me) and was called the way it looked Bama would have got the ball and we would not have to go thru a near heart attack.

Which is my point, and it shuts up a lot of the UT whiners. It looked to me like UT got the benefit of a bad call there.

I don't know about that. Maybe it gives them one fewer things to whine about but they are UT fans after all.... You maybe asking for too much.

You are right...they whined when we blew them out the past two years.

I am 100% sure it bounced. However I dont think they can hit the player like they did.

Saw it again. Still don't think it bounced.

 

[VolsToTheWall]

Do you know how they are actually kicked? Kickers kick the very top of the ball so that it bounces before it does anything else.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

I just saw the highlight reel and you can tell the ball does bounce but not right after the kick. It bounces just before getting to our players feet.

It bounced.

Lincoln went home last night knowing he did a few things right—that was one of them.

The Bama players should have been clearing the way for Julio to catch the ball. Tenn had a free shot at him and that never should have happened.
