🏈 Sports Science breakdown of the Legendary On-side Kick...

MAN!! When it happen, I said WHAT!! WHAT!! WE GOT THE BALL!! Please, no one was off side! Have you ever try to yell and not yell at the same time. I was because, I didn't want to be kicked out of my room. Kind of funny about the on-kick, because of the one North Carolina did it in the ACCCG game someone was offside.
 
Dabo was upset because the rule went against him in a different game... you have to allow the other team the opportunity to catch the ball... ie, you can't pop it up and just SLAM into their player to fight for the ball. To be able the run into their players, you have to bounce the ball one or twice (I don't remember the exact rule)... however, we pop it past their player and didn't run into them at all, so it's completely legal. Was a great play that was only allowed because of Clemson's formation. Had they had a guy wide, it wouldn't have been able to work.
 
Once it goes 10 yards we can catch it in the air as long as we do not impede them from doing so (ie: can't just run into the guy trying to catch it). If he calls for a fair catch and is close enough to realistically do so (they wouldn't let someone on the other side of the field call for it) then we had to allow him to attempt to catch it and it either bounce off him or hit the ground past him before we could take it. The thing with the South Carolina game is that Clemson kicked the ball and a SCar player was in the area and called for a fair catch and was tackled as soon as the ball got there or right before. It was dead ball at that point and SCar gets possession no matter that he dropped it and Clemson covered it. In this game there was nobody close enough but even that did not matter as they didn't even call for the fair catch anyway.
 
Dabo was claiming their guy wasn't allowed to catch the ball, so therefore it should kick catch interference and Clemson awarded the ball. It happened in the USCe game last year but the circumstances were different. The USCe guy was in position to catch the ball and the Clemson guy slammed into him and Clemson recovered. Officials called interference and USCe awarded the ball.

The number of Clemson fans posting video of the SCar game from 2014 and trying to say they were the same is laughable. In 2014, SCar had a guy in position who called for a fair catch and was then leveled by Clemson. A few days ago, Clemson had someone 4 yards away who ran toward the ball, never got into position to do anything, never called for a fair catch, and never got close to the ball before it went out of bounds in the hands of a Bama player. Not even close to similar.
