POST GAME DISCUSSION Texie vs Gators

I think the issue here is 2 being limited.

 

That’s his MO, not exactly Championship material.

 

Texas has more potential. Manning has some limitations, but if they get their act together...

 

I am not sure if the clock starting on the snap happens under 2 minutes or 1 minute. I have seen it both ways. I am sure someone will write an article about the decision and either vindicate Napier or crucify him.

 

That shotgun toss on 3 and 3 was a terrible play call. Ball in the air on pitch going side wise, instead of handoff with momentum up the middle. I wanted a bootleg with throw option, if neither open just take the sack/loss.

 

The TO was to keep Barber in the game.

 

I am no Billy fan, but we should all enjoy this great Gator victory. We have people on here saying that this was not the #9 team. YOU ARE WHAT YOUR RANKING IS! NO ONE CARES WHAT SOMEONES PERSONAL RANKING IS! We beat a top 10 team. Stop the bitching. Jeez. Can we just enjoy the win?

 

Here's the full rulebook. Read page 64, its the same as I posted before: https://taso.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-NCAA-FB-Rule-Book.pdf

Honestly, if you're relying on AI and are unwilling to read the source material, you're setting yourself up to be wrong a lot. AI has made incredible leaps but still makes lots of mistakes.

 

He tried to play to win, 2 threw a pick. I don't blame him for not doing it again.

 

Yah, we don't have any fans here who assume the worst.

 

We were the ‘easy’ game left on their schedule.

 

Your scenario does make some sense.

However, if we can catch some lightening in a bottle (AKA make a good hire for the next HBC) a lot of players and recruits may stay put, and even more players will portal to UF. To be fair, I have never known anyone to catch lightening in a bottle.

 

b. When the helmet coming off is the only reason for stopping the clock, other than due to an injury to the player or their teammate (Rule 3-3-6), the following conditions apply:
1. The play clock will be set at 25 seconds if the player is on offense and at 40 seconds if the player is on defense except after the Two-Minute Timeout and a charged team timeout. Before the Two-Minute Timeout in the 2nd or 4th quarters, the game clock will start on the Referee's signal.
2. Ten-Second Runoff. Any time after the Two-Minute Timeout in the 2nd or 4th quarters, the opponent has the option of a 10-second runoff, unless the helmet comes off as the direct result of a foul by the opponent.
3. If there is a 10-second runoff the game clock will start on the Referee’s signal. If there is no 10-second runoff the game clock will start on the snap.
4. The 10-second runoff may be avoided by the use of a charged team timeout, if available.

A smart coach takes the 10s runoff, let's the clock run on refs signal then take a timeout and reinsert Barber. That's not our coach.

 

Players showing out has to have potential replacements salivating

 

The irony of failing to understand what you've read and then saying someone else isn't smart...

 

Just stop. Napier will always be……..



Napier

 

Who’s stopping you? I hope you have the best night of your life! Doesn’t change the facts about CBN. Do you come on here just to read everyone type in YAAAY?

 

Wait! There has to be SOMETHING he did wrong!

 

I understand the clock stopping when the helmet came off, I guess I just assumed it would stsrt again when the play clock started?

Maybe that should be a review able play, to verify it wasnt hands to the face? Lineman rarely lose their helmet unless its forced off by a defensive player. The defense shouldn't be rewarded by an equipment malfunction right?

Whats the rule if an offensive player is hurt instead of his helmet coming off? Does the clock not restart when the play clock starts again?

Genuine question on both, not trying to be a jerk.

 

My quick search didn't include #3. UT would have declined the runoff and would start at snap. So, I was wrong, the TO was in actually the correct call.
