I know this is old news please read and help understand this. In 2014 USC vs Clemson


Nov 21, 2016, 4:41 PM

Mid first quarter Clemson does an unexpected offside kick. We get it. This is DW4 game when he best the coots on one leg. So we successfully get the onside kick.

-The ball traveled over ten yards in the air.
-We catch the ball in the air.

It looked as though we got it!

But refs discuss and their explanation was that since the ball never hit the ground USC had to have an unimpeded opportunity to catch the ball.

Then I youtube the alabama onside kick in the national championship game and it was identical. But we all know how that went. Someone please watch both and explain this to me. I'm pissed off all over again.

Even though we won this game I can't watch anymore. Sick to.my stomach there was a clemson guy within 5 yards of the bama guy who caught it.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah but that way was behind the bama player


Nov 21, 2016, 4:49 PM

its not like he was in position to catch the ball.

Dabo argued this last yr that we ran the same play against S Car.

Ok. Appreciate the explanation. I didn't have the energy to get on Tnet after the loss and didn't cut my tv on for 2 weeks. So I missed out on the interviews postgame.

If you watch the S Car onside kick you'll see there is a pla


Nov 21, 2016, 4:54 PM

yer directly under the ball to catch it. he has to have an unimpeded opportunity to catch the ball b/c it was kicked into the air and not bounced on the ground as a traditional onside would be.

In the bama game we didn't have guy in position to make that catch.

sucks

In the Carolina game,they called for a fair catch. In the national championship game we did not. That was the difference

If you watch the usuck player called for a fair catch. since it did not hit the ground we had to give him a chance to catch it.

If the ball doesn't bounce (touch the ground) then you must


Nov 21, 2016, 5:17 PM

... then you must give the opposing player a chance to catch it cleanly before you can touch the ball or the player.

Most on-side attempts are kicked in such a way that they bounce almost immediately off the kicking tee. At that point they become a free ball.

The coot got a hand up to signal fair catch and


Nov 21, 2016, 5:35 PM

We didn't give coot a chance to catch...we didn't have a player in the area to the to do the same on the bama kick.....when this happened in the natty, I thought the same-why-? about the 2014 coot game and found it on YouTube - u can see the coot did get a hand up for the fair catch

Re: The coot got a hand up to signal fair catch and


Nov 21, 2016, 9:10 PM

True ... if it's just a straight (but, short) pooch kick, then the opposing player has the right to make a clean catch before getting hit ... even if they don't signal fair catch, you can't interfere with the player or the ball until he makes an effort to catch it.

But, if the ball carroms off the ground high into the air, it's an immediate free ball and anything goes ... apparently even "targeting" if the UNC on-sides kick controversy is an example.

Nov 21, 2016, 9:23 PM

Actually if it only bounces once you can still call a fair catch.

Rule 6 Section 4 Article 1 paragraph f

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).

f. During a free kick a player of the receiving team in position to receive
the ball has the same kick-catch and fair-catch protection whether the
ball is kicked directly off the tee or is immediately driven to the ground,
strikes the ground once and goes into the air in the manner of the ball
kicked directly off the tee.
