Just because you don’t know the rule doesn’t mean they make them up against us.

Please quote the rule. Forward progress is spotted at the point the defenders fingernail grazes the jersey of the ball carrier even if the ball carrier is running backwards?
That makes no sense.

He was standing at the one foot line and was pushed back into the end zone. So his established progress was the one foot line at the time of contact. It was pretty obvious on TV that it was not a safety.

He was not standing at the one yard line. He was running backwards into his own endzone and our DT hit him. The momentum of his own weight being carried by his own legs running chicken **** backwards plus the momentum of the monsterous hit by our rusher combined to tackle him completely in his own endzone.

So what was the point of tackling him?

According to the know it all rule experts on here he should have “let him go” after he initially touched him so that he could re-establish something or another in the endzone. And then tackled him.... I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol ridiculous

You saw a different play than I did. He was pushed back into the end zone during the tackle.

Be lucky the forward progress rule is like it is. We as team benefit from it more than anyone with all these sacks and TFLs.

It's always going to get spottes at first contact unless the ball carrier bounces off and tries to advance again.

You can easily find the rule and your hyperbole seems like you maybe throwing a fit.

Since everyone is technical with the rule, I would say the ball carrier did bounce off the tackler to a small degree and try to advance the ball although he did so by retreating to his own endzone and was subsequently tackled therein.

If he had not “bounced off the tackler and tried to advance” then he would have landed at the 1 and not in his own endzone.

When a player is retreating the ball is spotted at the point of initial contact by the defender provided he brings the ball carrier down. If this was not the rule you could just pick up a retreating ball carrier and carry them back for 30 yards before taking them down if you wanted to.

This would be my favorite play of any game!

Um Will Friend didn't recruit the line he inherited. You can't fire a coach with the $h!t this staff was left. CBJ basically left a mediocre conference USA team. This staff has done an amazing job considering the true talent, injuries, schedule and lack of depth. Yesterday was not about blowing out Charlotte. It was about win and move on. That's where we are right now!

Like it or not, deal with it, get over it or whatever makes you sleep at night. This is a complete overhaul and will take 4-5 yrs of solid, true 4 & 5* talent starting with both lines of scrimmage in order to compete week end and week out with our opponents. Our schedule is ranked #4 most difficult in the country right now. What do you think our record would be had we started the season with Clemson schedule? They've played 1 team with a pulse A&M and barely won on a bad call. A&M is probably the 4 best team in the West side of SEC.

This is not the 90's. We are miles from there without a complete overhaul!

GTFO!

I wondered which back that was, watching on my phone at work I couldn’t tell.
He had to step to the side to miss the blitzer, I was like “really “ common sense says you gotta block the guy
