Just to clarify i can understand when the off wr sets a pick for the on wr to get clear for the catch. But that wasnt the case on this play , the wr it was called on was 15 yards from the guy who caught the ball

If it is the correct call the rules committee needs to revisit the rule. JMHO.

15 yards? Without getting a tape measure out, that seems unlikely. Staley was slotted inside Brazzell.

OPI includes interfering with a defender's ability to defend the play.

Why are you so upset? I've been one of the most polite responders to your question. Perhaps you didn't want an actual answer and were simply hoping to have your fevered conspiracy theory reinforced?

Clarification 2. I can understand why defensive PI can be called away from the ball because the offense can make the case the wr was the targeted wr until the interference occurred and the qb had to go to a secondary receiver. But offensive PI away from the ball except for an illegal pick is BS.

If the contact caused the QB to throw elsewhere, then it couldn't be PI. Maybe defensive holding, but PI requires the ball to be in the air and catchable.

As for impact on the play: what about a block in the back far away from the ball carrier that has nothing to do with the result? The rules are what they are.

The call had nothing to do with the defender who was covering the actual wr who caught the ball. If it was the correct call then the rule needs to be changed. JMHO.

I agree anything that takes officials out of the games and leaves it to the players would be an improvement IMHO.

What about the offsides call, it looked like to met the d line moved but not across the line nor did the offense snap the ball or their line move. Maybe i missed it but I sure didn’t see the offsiedes.

Yeah you re right, i dont know why a penalty is called that had absolutely no effect on the play at all. I certainly understand when the wr that catches the ball pushes off to gain an advantage. I have forgotten more about rules of football than a snot nosed punk like you ever knew.

It is because the ball was not thrown behind the line of scrimmage and he blocked before he caught it. If the BALL had been actually thrown behind the LOS then it would've been ok he was blocking even with the ball in the air. It was not because the receiver pushed off it was because he was blocking which is what the play is designed for him to do and the QB and the guy being thrown to have to be sure they are behind the LOS. Your response shows you do not have a clue what was going on that play. I played at a higher level than I am sure you ever did.

Undisciplined football. It's the stupid penalties like this one that kill us. I really don't think those kids understand that enough. Especially after watching tape again and again and again.

No dickhead thats why i asked for an explanation. Why dontt you go screw a goat or something.

You called it a bs call because you are ignorant follower of our Vols when it comes to how the game is played. Just because goat screwing is an Alabama thing and you mention it as an activity, you must be a bama fan and troll.

I get this PI call.. do I agree with that rule, NO..

An even bigger rule that I think is complete garbage is when a kickoff hits in the field of play and then rolls out of bounds and is still considered OB and brought immediately out to the 35yd line. Understand this completely if the ball sails OB in the air. But to me, that is good placement by the kicker and laziness by the return team to not go get it. Reward laziness, got it. Today’s society. That’s my rant. I’m done. Haha. Go VOLS

right before the safety. IMHO it was the second most important play of the game because it ended up being about a 30 yard penalty since it was a completed pass. My understanding was it wasnt on the receiver but about 15 yards away from the ball on another wr and had nothing to do with the outcome of the play itself.

Whether it’s a rule or not, you have to wonder how one catches this. You’d have to be looking at two places at once. Hell, it was a quick play. Really quick My guess is this is an example of how a coach works the officials. Likely someone Bamas staff saw something on film and pointed out. Something Heupel needs to learn to do.

There are 9 officials on the field. And this was wide out in the open. It wasn't hard to see. And I doubt Bama's coaches had much to do with it, as the flag came out really quick. If this was something that was on tape, then shame on Tennessee's coaches for not properly coaching a screen pass.

It was the correct call.

For griping, a better one would be the seemingly lack of impactful live ball penalties called on Bama.

Counting 2023 and 2025, Bama has been called for exactly 1 live ball penalty, unnecessary roughness in the second quarter this year.

There were also 2 PI’s and 1 holding called in this year’s game, but all three of those were called in the last 2 minutes on Tenn’s final drive when the game was already decided and didn’t affect momentum, or really hurt Bama.

Not counting those last 3, Bama has played damn near perfect in Tuscaloosa against us the last two games. It’s amazing. Meanwhile, there has always been drive affecting penalties on us peppered throughout the game, and just so happens at seemingly strategic times during game flow.

So, I guess Heupel needs to get this cleaned up? Or is it just incredibly bad luck for us every trip to Tuscaloosa?
