The Onside Kick - In photos

[TedKumsher]

I thought maybe the ref just saw Grant's leg in front of the ball and assumed it was someone else's leg (kind of like how a 1st base ump doesn't look at the person, just their foot hitting the bag and the sound of the ball in the glove). He threw the flag and had already convinced himself that someone else was offsides so he didn't consider that it could have been the kicker and he was wrong.

Sometimes I wish certain penalties were reviewable.

The ball could be gripped by the husk and carried forward by an African swallow.

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios.

actually in College football it doesn't matter where his foot is if he's touching the X or the line its not offsides if he goes past and is not touching it he is offsides

Rule clearly states a kicker cannot be offsides. It doesn't matter where his plant foot is. As I'm sure you read (as with the penalty being called on #7 George).

lets be honest the refs at Baylor were dicey at best, the onside kick, the pass-pump fumble turned-to-incomplete pass.... Both were very laughable, :twitcy:

How about a TD that was OVERTURNED when the video evidence appeared to show the ball being in before Woody was down. They had the ******* nuts to overturn the play that in no way showed "indisputable evidence".
It is an absolute joke the BS calls that ISU has to deal with. But, what else can you expect from a conference that practically boasts "The rich get richer, the rest can **** off".

FALSE. Check the rulebook.
The kicker CANNOT be offsides.

maybe rhoads should recruit a kicker that has size 3 shoes instead of 19 triple eee"s.
