52-24….Bulldogs with an easy win

Rule 9-3-5 specifies when a block in the back is legal and illegal. Exception 1 states that offensive players who are on the line of scrimmage at the snap within the blocking zone may legally block in the back in the blocking zone subject to certain restrictions. A. A player on the line of scrimmage within this zone may not leave the zone, return, and then block from behind. b. The blocking zone disintegrates when the ball leaves the zone. So question 1 becomes what is the blocking zone? The blocking zone is a rectangle centered on the middle lineman of the offensive formation and extends 5 yards laterally and 3 yards longitudinally in each direction. From the single vantage point in the video, it appears that A72 is an offensive player on the line of scrimmage at the snap who stays in the zone. HOWEVER…. Question 2 is, Had the ball left the zone at the time of the block in the back? It certainly appears that the quarterback had thrown the ball downfield at the time of that block so the rule could warrant a block in the back foul as the zone had disintegrated due to the ball leaving the zone. So does this warrant a flag? I could support an official making a call on this either way. By rule you could flag this action. I could even see an official issuing an unnecessary roughness foul if this player had repeatedly ignored warnings about such behavior. That action was away from the play and not at the point of attack. Most coaches would rather address A72 on the sideline and prevent any further escalation during the game.

Not this week.

Left knee. Looked like dislocated kneecap

What in the world....

None other than Mitch “ The Peoples Champ” Cason. Took home the belt last week fwiw...

Next man up!

Coaches never do...

35-24 And we light the tower Saturday night.

All depends on if this team finds discipline and gets MUCH better on 3rd down. Averaging 8 penalties for 72 yards and converting 28% of 3rd downs through the first three games.

Freaking Special Teams and unacceptable penalties. Two sideline fouls on the coaches as well. Piss poor....THATS RIGHT I SAID IT. O Brother Perry, Where Art Thou?

Based on performance last week (coaches included)... Good Guys 24 Alan Aldas 63 please prove me wrong Coach...

Sick burn....

Forecast on Saturday in Ruston

Checking the ESPN Box score....

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Does Wren travel to away games for the men's team? because he was at the Super Pit for the women today.....

I took my girls to the game today and it was our first UNT women's game. Had a three point shot at the buzzer to win but it didn't fall. It was great that former NT women basketball greats were recognized at the game. Great job by Wren and staff!

Tickets just arrived! Sec 25 Row 31 I'll be taking the red line from Plano and hoping on the Green Line at Pearl to the game.

Still waiting for my tickets....where are you FedEx?

Dang! @Brett Vito please get us the scoop. Hoping a Walmart store was not involved in any way....

I've taken the family in there before each home game this season. Whoever is in charge of pavilion is doing a great job! Food and drink are great, atmosphere great, and stuff for the kids. Should be prime recruiting ground for the Mean Green Club. Kids are free to get in (12 and under I think) and my alumni membership gets me and a +1 in. Pretty great deal.
