As long as they're not blocking before the ball goes 10 yards, it's legal.Isn't illegal to block our players from getting to the ball?. I thought the ref's missed the call there.
I really have to give Arkansas a lot of credit for calling that. I don't know if our receiving team was lined up a little too far off the ball or if it just seemed that way, but it was a brilliant call and well executed.
True. Gotta tip you hat to Coach Pittman for pulling that trigger.I really have to give Arkansas a lot of credit for calling that. I don't know if our receiving team was lined up a little too far off the ball or if it just seemed that way, but it was a brilliant call and well executed.
A brilliant piece of strategy. The Hogs had momentum, the Bama defense was reeling a bit, they got to keep the momentum, and it fired up the crowd.Brilliant call by CSP, tip my hat to him on that one.
The answer is yes but it was reported that the ball went ten 10 yards before they were blocked or as Danielson reported simultaneously.Isn't illegal to block our players from getting to the ball?. I thought the ref's missed the call there.
It was one of the best executed onside kicks I have ever seen. I'm not sure you can do it more perfectly. Having said that, Alabama still got caught offguard and you can't let that happen.I really have to give Arkansas a lot of credit for calling that.

He sure does. Sam is a very good coach. CNS tried hard to get him to come to Alabama.If the SEC had three divisions, and Arky was in that one without GA and Bama, they would wreck it!!! Sam has them moving in the right direction!!!
That was one thing Danielson explained really well, especially how "10 yards" is defined. Kind of like at the goal line, the ball has to break the plane of the 45 yard line. In the case of yesterday's onside kick, the ball took a hop up, and broke the plane in the air, not on the ground. And Arkansas was close to blocking before it did that. But it was really close, and there was no way it was going to be overturned.The explanation the CBS crew said was it past 10 yards so it was legal.
Lesson learned. Something tells me that'll never happen again. Not this year, anyway.They started backing up before they knew the kick was going downfield
Our front line guys bailed before checking onside responsibilities. Tough lesson to learnI really have to give Arkansas a lot of credit for calling that. I don't know if our receiving team was lined up a little too far off the ball or if it just seemed that way, but it was a brilliant call and well executed.
