[XXL TideFan]

The barn player gave it 100% but just wasn't enough.

Pretty obvious Mac Jones is not the answer here, put in Tualia who doesn't know better to have jitters? It's definitely a plan to not let Mac Jones throw unless they have too. Been harping on this since Tua had issues the first time...Mac is not the 2nd team QB he's the senior QB, which is why Nick is letting him play. We need a spark on offense not a stop gap. We have 4 NFL receivers on the field and we still can't complete a pass beyond 5 yards?

Thank god for Jalen Waddle there, just saved our asses.

 

[SnakeFan]

I knew it! Turnover!

 

[TerryP]

Why isn't CBS going to commercial?

 

[bama alum]

Not only was Danielson wrong, he was big wrong! Great throw to Smitty!

@94 Grad pretty sure the throw that Jennings almost intercepted should have been flagged as an illegible receiver downfield. Will confirm once I can see a replay.

You're right on where the ineligible receiver is when the ball is thrown.

Three College Football Rules I'd Change Right Now (and One I Wouldn't)

Let's settle the overtime, targeting and transfer debates as simply and efficiently as possible: By letting Andy Staples decide them all.

Change No. 3: Ineligible receiver downfield

I don’t want to change the rule that allows linemen to be at most three yards downfield when a thrown ball crosses the line of scrimmage. That rule’s flexibility has resulted in some fun offensive innovations. The problem is that when it isn’t called strictly, it gives the offense too much of an advantage. If a safety sees the center six yards past the line of scrimmage, he should be safe to assume the play is a run or a pass behind the line of scrimmage. He should not have to worry about a ball being thrown over his head.

So in the FBS—where every league can afford this expense—an official shall be placed on the sideline three yards from the line of scrimmage. His only job is to look down the line and see if anyone wearing jersey Nos. 50-79 crosses before a thrown ball crosses the line of scrimmage. If he drops enough flags, offenses will stop assuming three yards means five and defenses will be placed at less of a disadvantage.

Resolved: A Scrimmage Judge shall be created to police ineligible receivers downfield.

Run it. Twice if you have to. RTR

 

[planomateo]

Jones with a perfect pass with a monster coming right at it.

 

[bamatommy]

Nice TD pass, Mac!

 

[Tidestalker]

Run it. Twice if you have to. RTR

Like I said, throw it to Ruggs!

 

[bamatommy]

Auburn's offense has only scored ten points. If this trend continues, we win.

And the 7 was a short field with penalties

 

[bama alum]

Gary's hard on for the Kick 6. He was babbling and should have said pick six but said kick six. Gary! Let it go!

 

[bamatommy]

Horrible tackling!

 

[bamatommy]

Why didn't Bama take a time out?

 

[TerryP]

If they can tack another three on the board before the half ...

 

[planomateo]

wow, hell of a catch/throw.
