That does bring up a good question. What would happen if after a big gain down the middle, 2 recievers just lined up to snap the ball and everyone else on the offense just stopped and got set just to spike the ball. Obviously you need to wait for at least the ref to set the ball, but you could catch a defensive player offsides. Would that cancel out the illegal formation? Is there something else in place to call for something this blatant pseudo cheating that doesn't go into effect for a play like the Vikings ran because they at least tried?
There was a clear recovery by the Texans so it would have been Texans ball. However I don't know if there was an angle you could definitively say backwards in order to overturn the call.
Agreed. Worried about him seeing that. Seeing him walk off like that feels good. Might be out the rest if the game with a concussion after seeing him get hit in the head like that though.
Already dissatisfied with the refs today. Love has been getting a decent amount of hard count jumps by the defense this year, but we don't get the free play because someone moves before the snap. Finally should get a free play and it's blown dead. Then the defender getting very handsy on Wicks with no flag.
Not great clock management by Ohio st at the end there( and that offensive PI hurt a lot too).
Though I will say isn't it usual the ref will announce something like the click will resume on ready or whatever?
