Thanks for explaining that. MOOT POINT since UT scored on the first play after the penalty. I was screaming at the TV most of the afternoon.Pastor Rob wrote:MrDanger wrote:Help me understand this.

Since I have been officiating football I have been amazed at how many folks simply don't know the rules. There are some rules that apply to Friday Night (High School) others to Saturday (College) and still others to Sunday (pro's).
But you have a great question here. Allow me to explain. The Facemask was a good call. However, remember we are in overtime, and UT was on defense and UK was on offense and UK facemasked a UT player (can't remember who the two players were). Since UT was on defense in OT you can't in force a penatly and bring the offense on. Simply a dead ball foul and play is over.
However the unsportsmanlike penatly against UT that was inforced, it was 4th down and to start a new OT period UT would have the ball so that penatly can be inforced. It's like an extra point dead ball foul on the team kicking the extra point and it being inforced on the kick off same principle. That was the difference.
By the way I was at the game, leftin the 3rd quarter after UT scored to go up 31-14. Guess who is kicking himself now.

Georgia, with the way everyone else is playing this weekend, championships next week, has an outside (and realistic) chance to play for a National championship. The rate things are going, we could be looking at a Georgia vs Ohio State championshp game.

Okay, now someone explain this to me. Why should UGA get a BCS bid, when #1 they didn't win their division?
#2 they didn't get to play in their conference championship game?
Like Nebraska a few years ago playing for the NC when they did neither.

Oh to play WVu.

Once again, the two best teams will not play for the NC. LSU, Oregeon, etc could have a good run. Oh well.
