Remember too that the LSU attempt came 25 game-seconds earlier so several real-time minutes passed which means the Florida attempt had more fog set in but he still had a clearer view due to the scoreboard operator.

Mildly surprised the LSU vs Florida game last year doesn't come to mind for you. I know LSU left with the 'W' but the Florida scoreboard operator ABSOLUTELY tried to affect the game. By the end of the game, fog was a huge factor and the scoreboard's lighting was glaring. During the final two field goal attempts: - Scoreboard was left on but with 'normal' lighting (regular score, etc) during the Florida 51-year attempt. https: // www. youtube. com /watch?v=aC_r_AB-WCo - Scoreboard was turned max whiteness during the LSU 57-yard attempt. https: // www. youtube. com/ watch?v=SJWO1LOGbU0 ***Take the spaces out of links (stupid 1990's website chat functions; get a clue SDS) I couldn't find video from ground-level but during the telecast they did a shot from there and the effect was even more dramatic from the kicker's view. He couldn't even see the uprights... I thought "that's dirty, dirty tactics and they should do something about it."

@Derek Dooley Seriously? What adult would write something like that?

For kicks, I just googled "what state has the most trailer homes" and guess who leads... South Carolina with 18.8%. Tennessee is tied (with Oregon) at #18 with 9.9%. Funniest part? statemastercom actually had this popup: FACTOID # 2: If you're itching to live in a trailer park, hitch up your home and head to South Carolina, where a whopping 18% of residences are mobile homes.

I don't think the punt return you linked was the one his mother called him out on. He got straight up tackled by the punter on a previous return.

Thanks for the unintentional chuckle... Quoted from writingexplained. "These two words are very close in their appearance, but than vs. then have very different uses. Then is commonly used to express a sense of time or what comes next or used to be. Than is used to form comparisons between two things."

We can't even get an 'edit' button... you think they will add a 'report' button? This site's comment section is over a decade behind the tech times.

You're correct... they weren't offsides. It was, however, a false start which means a dead play and back the punt up 5 yards. UGA wouldn't have had it on the Bama 15 yd line; just stop with that. In fact, UGA probably would've had worse field position since it would give JK Scott 5 more yards to air out the punt allowing coverage even more time to get down to the return man. Quit trying to blow this one out of proportion with a false narrative. The Fromm head smash was unnecessary. That said, I have seen it go unpenalized in nearly every game I watch. At some point the QB gets sacked/tackled and the defender roughly pushes off the head under the excuse of "I was just trying to stand up." I've never cared for it. "Bama grabbing face masks all over the field" is a bit of a stretch. One missed call doesn't constitute 'all over the field.' It should have been called but the ref was out-of-position to see the finger tug the rung of the mask. Should have been called but unfortunately the only person in actual position to make the call was the camera man and a million fans. I will say this though, I could just as biasedly say the facemask on Tua, captured on the Sports Illustrated cover, was just as egregious but wasn't called.

I agree this play was all kinds of botched, however... If they called the false start, wouldn't it be a dead play simply causing a redo of the play from 5 yards back? UGA wouldn't have received the ball on the 15 yards line. In fact, it may have played better into Bama's coverage because the longer field would have let Scott air out the punt even more. Just not sure this call/non-call is as grotesque as it has been made out to be. I'm sure this goes without saying but correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope they sweep up all the pieces and display it in the trophy case as is... just a pile. It would be awesome to show recruits and would certainly start conversations for years to come.

Being a Bama fan, I'm admittedly biased towards Henry but have mad respect for Fournette (he plays hard, acts like a professional, stays classy from what I can tell and remembers where he came from with the struggles he had growing up). That said, I only see folks focus on the offensive numbers the two put up which of course is absolutely the first thing you look at. In that respect however, they are both essentially neck-in-neck. Then what is the next discriminate factor in order to give some separation between the two? Being a key player in other plays throughout the game comes to mind... blocking for other players down field, QB protection, special teams, etc. This is where I see Henry really separate himself from Fournette. Don't get me wrong because #7 is a beast but there is a highlight reel of blocks Henry has laid on folks that opened up big yardage plays. Plays that we had to have to keep the offense on the field, etc. He also is on defensive special teams defending against the return and isn't just a reserve player in that respect... he'll put the hurt on whomever gets in his way. For this reason, I think Henry is the front-runner for the Heisman. So serious question, why is this aspect not mentioned with regards to the Heisman race? Am I mistaken in thinking the intangibles are just as important?

Win Gates, are you even watching the same video we are? Robinson shouldn't have been acting foolish?! He made the tackle and went to stand up and an Arkansas player ran over and wouldn't let him get up good before getting up on him. Robinson pushed him away and started backing towards the huddle when your coach runs over and acts foolish.

Reading comprehension problem? Just trying to stir the pot? Earnest question? I will assume the latter. He was specifically asked about that particular play and he addressed the fact that linemen down field was a bigger uncalled penalty than the called LoS penalty in that situation. He addressed ball security in a later question in which it was actually pertinent.

DAWG NATION, I don't actually LOL often but your comment almost made me spit my coke on my keyboard. Caputo came out on the third play of the game after taking Henry's knee to his head. For the record: I earnestly hope Caputo passes his concussion tests and can get back on the field soon.

Henry racked up those yards before he was pulled out of the game in the THIRD quarter. Imagine what would happen with another full 15+ minutes of rushing to go. Not trying to take anything away from Chubb or anyone else, especially with the opponent or yards put up, but Henry would have had well over 200 yards if his game was not called due to him running all over Wisconsin.

Wow, UT_King... stay classy.

Might want to count again.... looks LSU heavy to me.
