Should that have been a penalty on the PR TD?

From whiplash?
The blocker was turned sideways and put his shoulder pad in the middle of the chest of the pitt player.
There was no head contact.
The ACC rule seems to be, if the school is in a slave state, screw its northern opponent.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen an ACC game officiated well. But I do think this was the right call. It was a clean and legal block.
Not only was there no helmet to helmet , the Miami player turned
I'm nuts I guess. That looks like clear helmet to helmet. Maybe it was a stiff breeze that violently shook his head to the same direction that the guys helmet was traveling? I'm seriously wondering if I'm losing my mind on this one. I just seems blatant to me.
Looks to me like helmet hit face mask. I zoomed it in and looks like helmet moves before anything.
Pennsylvania was a slave state as well. When Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation technically freeing the slaves in the Southern states there were almost certainly former Pennsylvania slaves still alive. Without looking it up I think PA got rid of slavery around 1800 maybe?
Correct.
It was funny how people were saying that in the game thread.
I am going to say that presumably conservative Southern refs are going to be more prejudiced against the Miami Beach people than they would against ones from Pittsburgh.
Oh Christ stop
His damn head literally bobbled from the hit
Again yes pads hit pads AND helmet hit helmet
It’s not A or B..
The sad thing is, if either of the not 1 but 2 Pitt players that were bearing right down on the guy when he caught the punt actually tackled him like they should have instead of whiffing, we wouldn’t be talking about this.
It was. Nothing to do about it though. Narduzzi can't even say anything, they just fine him, and then screw him and the team in games even worse. I doubt the school ever has the balls to complain, we just care about the checks to start lacrosse teams. Such is our fate.
You truly are pathetic. Who gets joy out of watching a player getting his head snapped back violently. I don't care who the F' is playing. This crap in football has to stop.
If that would ahne been
anyone who has ever played the game beyond the backyard level appreciates a great clean hit or bone-crushing block. Which for the record is exactly what that was. And it happened to result in a TD. Even better play.
Someone refresh my memory. Which game of ours was it this year where we had one of our guys, Matthews I think, get called for a crack back or targeting foul in a similar play that negated a long gain. I don’t recall that hit being much different than this one, in fact I remember it definitely not being helmet to helmet.
Just the fact that after viewing the replay over and again and still there is no clear consensus tells you that it wasn’t a horrible call.
I thought for sure it was a penalty watching it live, now I don’t know. Don’t think it was conclusive either way.
This video has four different angles on the block. You can clearly see Homer makes contact with his lead shoulder into the chest. The Pitt players head initially goes forward and down, not snapped back. It comes back because thats what heads do when they react forward. This is a legal but bone crushing block, made all the worse because your player was focused on the runner and never saw it coming. Definitely not targeting. BTW, blow it up to full screen and it is even more obvious.
Honestly, if you cannot see it in that video then you just don't want to see it.
look at this way-the very same posters who are outraged at the no call on this play would be apoplectic if a Pitt player was called for targeting on an identical play. They know they would but will never be honest enough to admit it. The conspiracy theorizing, excuse making crowd. They are nothing if not consistent.
It wasn’t targeting. It was a great block on a live defender who was in close pursuit of the ballcarrier, the kind of clean hit every football player fantasizes about.
If the rule is on the books, dumb as it is (and it is), and it's called on the field (as it was), it should have been absolutely irrefutable to overturn it.
Even the middle school girls league softball umpires here, who continually bleat that refs are infallible gods, were admitting that the replays had ambiguity. Head contact was made, refs called it, it shouldn't have been overturned, and it was a huge turning point in a low scoring game.
All the Penn State trolls taking a break from anally assaulting the 7 year olds shackled up in their basement to start new accounts here, plus the usual argue- everything- regardless- how retarded types that infest the internet, posting gibberish to the contrary won't change these facts.
Reversing that call went against every bit of precedent established in recent years and shouldn't have been done, whatever the motive the guys in Charlotte had to order it so (but clearly they did, given it took an eternity).
THAT is the truth. Lock the thread.

Not so fast!
Yes exactly... as I said, he drove through the helmet
Also the TD run had a huge hold that wasn’t called that led to the td
Dallas raised his hand to about eye level as he drop stepped with his left foot to retreat for the ball. He then move his hand backwards as he moved to catch the ball. A fair catch signal requires he raise his hand clearly above his head and wave his hand more than once. It was not a fair catch signal.
From the NCAA Rule Book:
ARTICLE 2. A valid signal is a signal given by a player of Team B who has obviously signaled his intention by extending one hand only clearly above his head and waving that hand from side to side of his body more than once.
There is no conspiracy against Pitt.
Just really bad calls yesterday, both teams sucked
Based on the video evidence, the back of Homers helmet hit Madures face mask after the initial hit. Fact. The hit was to the chest area. Fact. This isn’t high school.
I can’t believe I’m agreeing with souf.
Because the helmet hit the face mask which is part of the head and neck. It’s right on the clip you posted.
I don't like the rule, but it's the rule. And it was dutifully called by the refs on the field, who so many here say are sacred. There was absolutely not clarity in the videos. If the much more dubious targeting call against Jones on a routine sack some weeks back survived scrutiny, this should have as well.
And the hold on the Homer run indeed was blatant.
Miami still deserved the win. An offense as bad as ours likely wouldn't have scored a TD against them if they were still playing right now.
And Miami may well have gone on to score tds on those 2 very possessions. They were the better team. Only self imposed drops prevented a bigger deficit. It was bound to happen some time.
But factually, granting Miami those 2 particular TDs was not deserved.
