Brian Randolph how long

[govols105]

is he out until? since he got ejected for the qb sliding into him. losing him for any part of the missouri game may well cost us that game as well as losing crowder. i still hope we can win though but it will be much, much tougher without these two.

Suspended the first half of Missouri

Quit crying. It was a cheap shot to the head of the qb. Take your medicine.

 

[Sandman 423]

I don't think you will notice. Tk jr. Will be fine.

 

[DocVOLiday]

When was it said how long he was out? Must have missed it

Thread title seems a little personal......IMO

Yep. It was an easy call.

We will miss Randolph. He was making tackles all over the place before the ejection. TK Jr is good but not on the same level just yet.

When the QB goes low, he puts his head in harm's way. If ya gonna be a runnin QB, don't whine about getting hit. It was a judgment call, the refs made their call.

Mizzous passing attack blows. It was good tonight at TAMU. But the aggies defense is about like UK and South Carolina. First time mauk went over 200 in an SEC game this yr.

When a QB slides feet first, don't hit him and surely don't hit him high. It's not a difficult concept.

 

[AndyW]

Yep. It was an easy call.

As was the case when UK's #1 DRILLED Dobbs when he was already down. Should've been an ejection, IMO

The only pass plays we got blown up on were randolf in coverage. It's him, McNeil, or Coleman that are liabilities in coverage. But he's probably our best option at safety.

 

[Aesius]

Butch said they will appeal it in his post-game presser.

I agree. Kicking somebody in the head ought to count the exact same as throwing a punch.

It was definitely a shot to the head. It was not a malicious cheap shot. I have no problem with them enforcing the existing rules. However, I do have a problem with the rule as it is written (as well as the consequences. Almost 4 quarters worth of suspension? Ridiculous.)

 

[BigOrangeVols]

I believe only his name as the thread title would of worked in this situation

I agree spec. When the next play he ran the ball and tried to juke the linebacker and they slowed down thinking he would slide. I agree keep them safe but if you slide and put yourself in that position it's your fault. Know the four arm well thatigjt have been a little dirty. Go vols

Agreed. It's too much for something where intent is subjective. The suspension is just for show so that the NCAA can cover its ass. I do think the automatic review was a step in the right direction, but they ought to limit the ejection to the current game.

I thought he slid a little too late. It looked to me like Randolph had already lowered his shoulder to make the tackle when the QB slid.

You realize he slid right as Randolph had already launched? QB sliding the instant before contact isn't a defenseless player IMO

Not really feeling that. He committed the crime, now he's gotta serve the time.

it was called correctly but i cannot stand this rule for qbs who are running like rbs. it makes sense for exposed WR, but when an athletic guy is running 15 yards down field and just drops to the ground out of nowhere, there is no way the guys coming full speed at him have a chance to pull up. it then costs us 5 yards the next play because we were all afraid to touch him and he slowed down like he was going to slide. i think the qbs should be fair game when they run or they need to slide much earlier than running right at a defender and then dropping at the last second.

I agree.
