The ball doesn't create forward progress on its own. The player creates forward progress and its the player's motion which determines whether or not there is forward progress and when forward progress is stopped. In this case forward progress was never stopped because there never was any...

At what point does the player establish any forward momentum?

He's literally going backward with his own momentum during this "forward progress" that you (and presumably the officials) are trying to award him. At what point does he ever actually move forward? Not just momentarily stick the ball out away from his body but actually create forward momentum?

Of course I have. When the player is actually moving FORWARD. The key to FORWARD progress is having some FORWARD motion. When the offensive player is running backward on his own then he doesn't get to claim any forward progress so the fact that he may have stuck the ball back over the goal...

But for it to cross BACK over the goal means it was behind the goal line to start with. And if he was being contacted by the defender at that time then the fact that the ball momentarily may have crossed back over the goal line is irrelevant since it was the offensive players own momentum that...

Theft is theft. Taxation is taxation. Borrowing is borrowing. All can be bad when you're the one that they're happening to but who is doing what and why does matter and that's why we have different words to describe all these things because they are all in fact different. It's kind of like...

But just sticking the ball back over the goal line for a split second doesn't mean it wasn't a safety. I do agree though that both of the call/no call against OU last year were more egregious. The phantom fair catch and the no call on the clear DPI. In fact I'd say the no call last week...

Yea hopefully Hudson is having a blast with all his NIL goodies. Barely noticed him on the field the other day.

Which QB is expected to start this week?

Huge hyperbole. 90,000 for sure though.

I think the TCU coaches have to get a lot more credit for identifying the talent though. The reason those OL coaches were criticized is because that unit was without question the weakest of the offense in terms of on field performance for most of the 2010's until the QB position turned into a...

Heck of an accomplishment for Andy, no doubt, but that is a strange looking list. Roethlisberger, Rivers, and Ryan ahead of Dan Marino. Joe Flacco and Kerry Collins ahead of Joe Montana and Johnny Unitas. More than anything else this list shows how different the game has become in the last 15...

The Frogs o-linemen in general have had some great success. And other than Avila I can't think of any who were drafted very highly. Obviously Cannon probably would've been if not for the medical issue but that's not how it ended up. I saw Austin Schlottman starting for somebody last week...

If you're not able to throw the ball effectively on Saturday then you'll have no chance to win outside of your defense and/or special teams scoring some points for you. I like West Virginia's defense a lot but it's going to be a tall task keeping the Frogs under 21 and there's just no way...

What!? We still have to show up and play the game? I was really hoping for a week off here and next week.

Thought for sure this was a Mac Engle article based on the title. No. No I did not. Not at all.

Thanks. So it would seem most likely that we'll be on big Fox. I don't have FS2 so I'm going with that thought anyway.

Thanks. Still not totally understanding how we get relegated all the way down to FS2 based on a baseball game that would either be on fox or FS1. Unless they're saying that if there's only one baseball game in that time slot then it will be on FS1 and our game will be Fox. Then the only way...

Good point. Let's just imagine that an offensive player broke a run that clearly got into the endzone but the officials for some reason just decided to put the ball at the 2 yard line and then the TD never happened. I think everyone would be like "what the scheiss are they doing there? They just...

I don't understand the idea of saving it for when it matters. It's not like he has some kind of mulligan card he can use that will actually change a bad call and he needs to save it for a game deciding moment. Complaining after a 1 point loss is no more or less effective than complaining after...
