No, just as when Houston kicked their second onside kick and the kicker faked to one side and then kicked to the other side, a kicker can do that. It is not considered a false start.

Ballgame!

Yes!!!!!!

Time for the D to step up.

Bajakian sucks tonight. Really poor playcalling.

It helps that they suck even more than us right now.

I think we all agree it was a bad call. As Rocky Goode said, offsides is called when the other side has an unfair advantage. It is very clear no advantage was had by UT. Why the ref thought there was an unfair advantage? No idea. None of the replays show any advantage to UT as all players were...

Its pretty obvious the call was ridiculous. In the most critical phase of the game, the ref made a judgment call he normally never makes and evidence shows was very suapect. He took away UT's chance to tie, that is on him.

The disturbing part is getting the police to tell the guy to sit down. They can only enforce law, not tell a guy to sit down. That is completely out of their authority, especially when most fans stand during the game. Why did the fan not talk to an usher about it? Probably did talk to an usher...

That's it? If the line doesn't end UT up by at least 20, then its a safe bet to at least cover. Vandy is terrible and UT will crush them.

Excellent post. Sums it up pretty well. My biggest problem is with the offsides call. Its never called, yet in the most crucial moment, they throw the flag because part of a helmet or hand is over the line? Absolutely ridiculous decision and cost UT the CHANCE to tie. That's all that matters is...

I have not seen any video evidence that the call was right. Especially when players go over the line on a regular kickoff and it is rarely called. The fact that it was such a critical call, with such little proof that he stepped over the line makes it unacceptable.

If the foot crosses the line, yep. Once the foot crosses the line, not touching mind you, then yes that is offsides on a kickoff. The helmet crosses all the time in kickoffs without any call being made. Its the only way to call it fairly since offsides is nearly never called unless the player...

Besides that, the vols were still in contention before that play, afterwards, they were not.
