Brian Randolph how long

[pharmDvol11]

Doesn't matter. As long as Justin Coleman is covering somebody there will be a 100 yard receiver

At least he gets picks . I mean at least we get something out of it .

 

[kunsanvol]

Does he have to stay in the locker room during the 1st half? I know when you are ejected you must leave the field completely.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Should appeal. There was no helmet to helmet. Penalty yes. Targeting, no.

 

[Biopsyman]

The KY player was sliding with feet first... Not going to get it overturned.. Rule sucks. The hit on Dobbs was much worst and no call

 

[TNnative]

My concern for next game isn't Randolph, but MacNeil. You know the refs are gonna be watching him after he threw the elbow right behind Randolph. Had Randolph not made helmet to helmet contact, they would have gotten MacNeil.

 

[GAVol]

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

Explain it away all you want. It wasn't that close.

 

[VOLNPA]

I dont love the rule either, but it was a blatant shot...to those who can remain objective.

 

[VolinMichigan]

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.

Yea...there's a difference between a QB scrambling and a QB sliding. It was a dumb decision by Randolph. And unfortunately he will have to pay for that.

 

[Other_Guy]

Its ridiculous a player gets a full game for targeting and good boy Winston gets half a game combined for all his crap.

 

[Orange Maniac]

Doesn't have to be helmet to helmet. Targeting is a shot to the neck and head. It doesn't matter what is used, it's targeting. It was the correct call.

Two completely different things. One is mandated by the NCAA while the other is entirely up to the coach.

I know, its just stupid.

 

[JohnnyBall]

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.

The quarterback didn't slide into him ,he almost took his head off.

 

[IMALLVOL22]

When the Kentucky guy was flagged, for kicking our player in the head, while they were on the ground should've been ejected. Same thing blow to the head.

 

[KBVol]

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

Standard rule. If you're dq'd in the 2nd half of a game like he was, you automatically miss the first half of the next game as well.

 

[omghulkhands]

Big opportunity for TJjr here. Hope he runs with it.

Agreed

 

[lexkyvol]

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.

is better at defending the pass IMO

 

[Spartacavolus]

Doesn't have to be helmet to helmet. Targeting is a shot to the neck and head. It doesn't matter what is used, it's targeting. It was the correct call.

there are too many variables with a qb quickly ducking and changing his head angle. Same for wr's who duck their heads and end up ducking right into a helmet that's already on it's way. Defender is penalized. I'd like to see a replay in slo motion to see exactly when Randolph went prone and where his shoulder was relative to the qb at the time he went low. He may be 100% at fault, but I'd like to see it as I only saw it live.

We will be just fine with Tkjr.

 

[volnal]

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

I agree. TK Jr will be fine. BR made a bonehead play and is out until the second half of the Mizzoo game. Wonder how BR will like practice this week?

 

[zidanefan]

The problem with that is the point of contact. If Randolph had launched and Towles was still upright, Randolph would have gone over him/glanced off of Towles' helmet, and Towles could have avoided the contact. Towles was actually on the ground when he was hit.

 

[loggervol]

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.

this is my argument also. both guys had started into their hits before he started to slide. it's hard to stop momentum. it should've been a penalty but not a targeting call.

I think coleman is playing out of position. he would make a great fs. his coverage skills have gotten better this year but he has one really bad play a game. the problem is, nobody is stepping up to take his job.
