Cullen Harper to Jacoby Ford(2008 USC Game)

Zbubble19 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - Incorrect. Nothing illegal about it; he lined up and the defense simply failed to cover him. It doesn't matter if he was crouching. Besides, would it have made a difference?

Dec 4, 2008 - You obviously don't have a clue about the rules of the game. Rule: 9-2-2-b Not even close to being legal The "difference" is teams should be allowed to run illegal plays....period. The LJ blew the call; no question about it.

Zbubble19 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - Incorrect. There was no attempt to "fake" a substitution. That would be a huddle infraction anyway, would it not? Jacoby was simply crouched down and "pretending" to receive info from Brad Scott. If this play was illegal, then a plethora of plays teams run are illegal. For instance, when the qb pretends to not understand the play and approaches the sideline while the ball is snapped. I've never seen an official blow that dead. Stop being a sore loser and let the kids have fun, it's not the NFL.

Dec 5, 2008 - Trouble posting...let me try this again. Hopefully it won't double post

hammer7629 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - 9-2-2b: "No tactic associated with substitutes or the substitution process may be used to confuse opponents". That makes you a dumbass for thinking it was a legal play. They got away with it, but the rule is clear.

Zbubble19 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - First off, there is no need for hostility. Second, my point was that there was no substitution process taking place, which would refute the rule you are citing. Chill. Anyway, no one other than coots has made any comment that it was an illegal play. You guys simply can't ever lose can you? Steve already consented that Clemson is the "better team and better coach." Go wallow in your misery.

hammer7629 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Several points: Not hostile - stating facts. LJ was in the wrong position on the play and blew the call. When the rule is posted and you continue to deny the obvious, that makes you a dumbass. I've got no dog in the fight as both teams are laughable. Grab a rule book and get a clue...or remain the dumbass you are. Your choice

daveosc Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - the play is completely legal, get a clue.

daveosc Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - the 9-2-2b rule applies to a totally different type play that the Dallas Cowboys once ran with Michael Irvin. You are an idiot if you think this is an illegal play.

hammer7629 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Fool, get a Rule Book 2008 Redding Study Guide (Companion to the NCAA Rule Book) "Example 10-20: 2nd and 10 on the A-40. Two subs enter the game and three leave the huddle, one of the departing players stays on the field in front of his team bench and goes downfield to catch a touchdown pass. Ruling: The 15 yard penalty is enforced from the pervious spot leaving Team A with 2nd and 25 on the A-25"

Dec 8, 2008 - STATE CHAMPS=CLEMSON TIGERS

clemsonmanw11 Says:

Dec 9, 2008 - wow ya'll need to quit bitching and realize that no matter what ya'll say, it's a TD and even if he was down, we still destroyed carolina

Dec 10, 2008 - if the third guy never exited the field, y was he ineligable to catch a pass?...he's still in the play isn't he?

jim1996tiger Says:

Dec 11, 2008 - We did not huddle! You know your rules, but you are far from reality! I am an official. I knew someone would try to throw this rule out there and I was waiting for the chance to jump on it. Thanks for the early Christmas present.

clemson7777 Says:

Dec 11, 2008 - this awesome play was called cocka doodle doo, how i know this? well jacoby ford was neer our tail gate and we asked him that question and why he was neer out tailgat? well jeff davis is right across from us and he invited some plazers to come down and chill o and it was a leagle play.

jackmeo999 Says:

Dec 11, 2008 - Jimmy the Official...you better study up on your rules because Rogers Redding disagrees with your interpretation. You DO know who he his, don't you?

clemsonfight Says:

Dec 11, 2008 - We didn't huddle so the rule you listed doesn't even begin to apply. Besides, even if it DID. Erase that touchdown. Great. Final score? Clemson- 24, South Carolina- 14 We still beat the crap out of you, so just give it up please.

jackmeo999 Says:

Dec 12, 2008 - Sorry...I'm not a Carolina fan. Carolina sucks and so does Clemson. Two epic fail programs deciding who's the bigger failure. My only contention was the rule and it's application. The score stands, the call was missed. Nothing will change either

clemsonmanw11 Says:

Dec 14, 2008 - um no offense, but first off it was in the papers, and second, why would he b tailgating b4 a game, instead of getting ready?

CRAZYPAUL101 Says:

Dec 15, 2008 - it was a trick play jacoby faked tying his shoe and getting screamed at by coach and he was completely wide open it was great!!!!Got Dabo??????GO TIGERS!!!

STAT1CAC3 Says:

Dec 16, 2008 - yabba dabo do!

clemsonmanw11 Says:

Dec 19, 2008 - no, we still would have scored a touchdown on that drive so make that 31-14

zchris87v Says:

Dec 21, 2008 - Key words: substitution. Receiving a play is allowed. If it were not, how would plays be called in a no-huddle offense?
