He's going to soon be a record breaking coach.
First coach ever to start 7-0 and and up 7-6.
Hey, I didn't say it was a good record.
I thought you weren’t watching today. You’re just like the rest of us lunatics.
But if all the angles they have show that the ball did not hit him they can't say that well, if they had a different angle maybe it would have showed that it did.
Or, well, I take that back. They obviously CAN say that, because they did. But that's not the way that replay is supposed to work. If there is no evidence that something happened you aren't supposed to just make something up to say that it did.
They’re not saying there’s no evidence “something happened”. They’re saying there’s no evidence something happened or something didn’t happen…thus, you defer to the call on the field. Like I said, I don’t agree with their assessment of the replay, but if they say there’s no evidence to overturn the call, the call stands.
But there was no angle that showed the ball hitting him. What they are arguing is that even though there is no evidence that the ball hit him, even though every angle they have shows it didn't, it is still theoretically possible that it could have and they just don't have the correct angle. And that is not the way it is supposed to work.
That wasn't like a play where a runner is in the middle of a pack of players and you can't tell if he was down before he fumbled it. Or you can't see for sure where the ball is to call it a first down or not. They had multiple camera angles and none of them showed the ball hitting him. The only possible conclusion to make from the replays that they had was that the ball did not hit him, not that well even though we have no angle that shows the ball hitting him it still might be theoretically possible that it did.
They blew it, plain and simple.
They definitely got the call wrong, but you’re wrong in your reasoning. Back to the game.
Got to hand it to Yarnell for standing in there and taking all these hits.
And Nate Yarnell will pay that forward and hand it to a BC defensive lineman.
Worst I can remember, and Pitt has had some really bad groups.
You can't blame that on Yarnell though when a defender comes in clean and hits him so fast.
Way to go, Lanky Legs Yarnell. I can't stand watching this dude play football. Yeah, the o line sucks. But so does he. The epitome of unathletic.
When you have a bad OL, you need to call plays to get the ball out quick.
Couldn't we go and get 5 big fat guys off the street and do just as well on the o-line without wasting the scholarship money???
