On side kick was illegal: Here's the Rule


Jan 12, 2016, 12:59 AM

Article 3a, No Team A player may touch a free-kicked ball until after:

"3. It touches any player, the ground, an offical or ANYTHING beyond Team B's restraining line."

As we were penalized earlier in the season for an onside kick where the opposing team did not have a chance to catch it and it had not "touched" anything. That's what Dabo was screaming about. The receiving team MUST have a chance at the ball first. See rule 3a.3 above.

They kicked the ball to themselves. It didn't touch anything. Our players did not have a CHANCE to catch it and it did not TOUCH anything beyond the restraining line except the receiving Alabama player.

They called it against us before, the Pac 12 officials missed it.

Re: Is the restraining line the 10yards?

Yes, our team is team B, lined up on the restraining line (10 yards).

Look at the video. The kick leaves the tee and lands in the Alabama players hands, it didn't touch anything between the tee and the player.

Article 3a, No Team A player may touch a free-kicked ball until after:

"3. It touches any player, the ground, an offical or ANYTHING beyond Team B's restraining line(10 yds)."

That's what Dabo was screaming about. The receiving team MUST have a chance to catch the ball.

That makes zero logical sense. The only way the rule makes sense is if it is referring to Team B players.

I don't think so. No Team A player can touch the ball until it is touched by another Team A player would make no sense.

Ultimately it doesn't matter. The kickoff return by what's his name was really the final nail.

But for losing a game, we played Alabama better than anyone this year.

Wrong you omitted Rule 6.3a.2 : It breaks the plane of and remains beyond Team B’s restraining line.

Stop trying to stir up trouble. The call was correct and the kick was legal. It is just that no other team in the NCAA would let it happen without blocking anyone.

Re: On side kick was illegal: Here's the Rule


Jan 12, 2016, 2:39 PM

If people really want to understand the issue, it comes into the fact that no one was in the spot the ball was kicked to, regretfully. Something from what I am reading Bama noticed in film study, when they payed attention to how tight our players line up at the line on a kick, as well as how Kearse starts running instead of waiting to see where the ball is kicked. And if you notice, that's how it exactly happened....everyone on the inside, Kearse having to backpedal to try to get to where the Bama player went.

1) It was a free kick, and it was kicked directly up in the air off the stand.
2) Rule 6, section 4 states:
ARTICLE 1.
a. A player of the receiving team within the boundary lines attempting to catch a kick, and so located that he could have caught a free kick or a scrimmage kick that is beyond the neutral zone, must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch the kick (A.R. 6-3-1-III, A.R. 6-4-1-V, VI and IX).

b. It is an interference foul if, before the receiver touches the ball, a Team A player enters the area defined by the width of the receiver’s shoulders and extending one yard in front of him. When in question it is a foul.(A.R.6-4-1-X-XIII)

c. This protection terminates when the kick touches the ground (Exception: Free kick, par. f below), when any player of Team B muffs or touches a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone, or when any player of Team B muffs or touches a free kick in the field of play or in the end zone (Exception: Rule 6-5-1-b) (A.R. 6-4-1-IV).

3) Per section a of article 1, the player must be located so that he could have caught the free kick that is beyond the neutral zone. Since Kearse (who was the closest) nor any other player was located where they could have caught the free kick, there is no situation to cause for the player to have to be unimpeded for a catch (i.e. we needed a player to be standing there). Thus it becomes a live ball after it cross that 10 yard mark.

The only issue I question is are they allowed to direct catch in that case, or should it have had to hit the ground first, per section c? Or does that rule also get negated by not having a player in that spot?

Re: On side kick was illegal: Here's the Rule


Jan 12, 2016, 2:47 PM

Nope, that's just the base rule of an onside kick (the 10 yard rule)...there is the section I posted that comes into play when it is a free kick that is directly up in the air. Then in that case, even if it makes it 10 yards, the receiving team must have an unimpeded chance to catch the ball. Issue becomes in the fact we had no player there...thus no one to impede.

SC called for a fair catch and got nailed in the kick off. Bama kicked it to where noone was and Dabo was not good enough to coach his players to call for a fair catch. The kick was legal. The onside kick was not the reason you lost no more than the fake punk was the reason why Oklahoma lost. You were outcoached and they made plays when they needed too.

The coots called for a fair catch and were obstructed when trying to catch the ball. Totally different here. We were caught with our pants down. Even if you don't trust the source (not sure why), at least read the rule; it's clearly legal. This is a non-issue and we should chill w/ making up excuses. We played well, but came up short.

Jan 12, 2016, 4:32 PM

It doesn't even matter if he called for a fair catch. Even if he didn't he has the right to catch the ball at it is considered interference if a player from the kicking team catches the ball in front of the receiving player. He the kicking team player can't be within a yard in front of the player (shoulder width in front). Basically think of it as the old Halo Rule. It doesn't matter if the player calls for a fair catch or not, the kicking team can't enter into that area.

Our player wasn't within 5 yards of the ball so even if he called for a fair catch Alabama could have still caught it.


The rule is: It is an interference foul if, before the receiver touches the ball, a Team A player enters the area defined by the width of the receiver’s shoulders and extending one yard in front of him.

^ BINGO

NCAA (2014)
Rule 6 Section 4 Opportunity To Catch a Kick

Interference With Opportunity

ARTICLE 1. a. A player of the receiving team within the boundary lines attempting to catch a kick, and so located that he could have caught a free kick or a scrimmage kick that is beyond the neutral zone, must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch the kick (A.R. 6-3-1-III, A.R. 6-4-1-V, VI and IX).

b. It is an interference foul if, before the receiver touches the ball, a Team A player enters the area defined by the width of the receiver’s shoulders and extending one yard in front of him. When in question it is a foul.(A.R.6-4-1-X-XIII)

c. This protection terminates when the kick touches the ground (Exception: Free kick, par. f below), when any player of Team B muffs or touches a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone, or when any player of Team B muffs or touches a free kick in the field of play or in the end zone (Exception: Rule 6-5-1-b) (A.R. 6-4-1-IV).

Bolded area is the difference between the two, and the reason it was legal in the National Championship. Clemson didn't have a guy there, thus no one to say was impeded against....SCar did have a player there, that even called fair catch. So it was called correctly by rule in both games. Simple as that.

that is incorrect..

receiving team can call a fair catch and cannot be interferred with by the kicking team. If he does not signal fair catch, it is a free ball after it goes 10 yards OR touches receiving teams player or ref before going 10 yds. That is to protect the receiver IF the signal is made.

The referee was just trying to explain it in the Carolina game.

We got burned on that play in the USuCk game but our coaches didn't research the rule book and fully investigate the call to see if we were being treated fairly.

To think that Dabo didn't know the rule better than the guys on the field is quite naive after being burn by it before.

our player was in no position to catch the ball and did not

signal for a fair catch (the fair catch would not have been allowed anyway because Kearse couldn't get to ball before it dropped).

Therefore the Officials unfortunately got it right.... it was a free ball once it broke the plane of 10 yards.

that being said, we had lots of opportunities to win against Bama that other teams did not. The Tide know they were in a helluva fight, and they wouldn't want to have to play it again - only the onsides kick and the runback separated them, and those sorts of things can't always be counted on to go your way

If Bama is #1, The Tigers are no worse than #1a.

Great freakin season with a lot of true respect earned for our Program.

you omitted the entire rule...


Jan 12, 2016, 6:16 PM

Touching and Recovery of a Free Kick
ARTICLE 3. a. No Team A player may touch a free-kicked ball until after:
1. It touches a Team B player (Exception: Rules 6-1-4 and 6-5-1-b);
2. It breaks the plane of and remains beyond Team B’s restraining line (Exception: Rule 6-4-1) (A.R. 2-12-5-I); OR
3. It touches any player, the ground, an official or anything beyond Team B’s restraining line.
Thereafter, all players of Team A become eligible to touch, recover or catch the kick.

and

Eligibility to Block
ARTICLE 12
No Team A player may block an opponent until Team A is eligible to touch a free-kicked b


you did not include the OR in #2...changes the entire meaning of what you posted (you can refer to NCAA rule book for the clarification)

#1 means that team A cannot touch the ball if it has not traveled 10 yds.
#2 is exactly what happened
