USCe vs LSU penalty

[Tidewater]

I do not have a dog in the fight between USCe and LSU.
I realize that when a QB throws a pick he goes from being a defenseless player to being a potential tackler.
And I bet guys used to be (and maybe still are) coached, "If there is a pick, find the QB and knock the crap out of him because he is fair game." I think when there is a pick, officials will look for someone blindsiding the QB.

Kennard hit him with his hands, but it was a good lick that laid Nussmeier out.
On the scale of how big an effect this had on the game outcome, I think it was enormous. LSU would have found themselves down two scores.
My take is that I hope Alabama defensive players are smart and realize that, after a pick, the officials will look for the QB and someone knocking the crap of him and they will throw the flag. Instead, I hope Bama players just get a block. Nussmeier was not going to be likely to make the tackle anyway, so do not give the officials an excuse to throw the flag and call back a 100 yard pick-six.
ANd I realize that an Alabama player knocked the absolute crap out of Aaron Murray of Georgia after a pick. Murry';s fillings were probably loosened by that hit. Still, rules have changed since then and you have to be smart enough to pick up on that.

The way he laid there, he was selling and the refs bought it, I would bett the refs didn't see the play just him laying there

Now that's laying someone out!

I get what you're saying but it was a bum call.
Those officials GAVE LSU that game.

Yes, thanks for clarifying.

That was one of the weakest roughing penalties I've ever seen. Ridiculous.

The conference still needs to sell the Alabama - LSU game and the truth is that LSU isn't really good right now to sell it!

Yeah, I could have seen this go either way (called or not called), but the pity is how much this cost USCe. I bet if Kennard had it to do over again, he would lay up on Nussmeier, which proves it was a mistake.

I just hope our guys are smart in similar situations, because I'd bet that the task of at least one of the officials, in the event of a pick, is to watch the QB and see if anyone blindsides him on the return.

my favorite part is the "oh crap" look a split second before getting laid out.

i can't find it, but there is a shot of him just after tua's 2 & 26 throw that is a close second to that moment

If that's anyone other than a QB no flag gets thrown. Seems like they should have reviewed this-- he pushed the guy with his hands pretty hard by it was a legal block by any definition.

5 drew attention to the play…not smart, but no way a penalty. The qb was pursuing when hit.

Doesn’t seem like 11 years ago.

I heard that this ref was the same one that did our game against tinnersee two seasons ago. Remember the targeting hit that Bryce took and the ref smirking as he reviewed it and waved it off?

Why is it that almost every game this clown calls there is/are questionable calls that ultimately change the outcome?

Just hoping we don't end up with Autrey and his traveling circus when we go to Knoxville this year.

I’m sure Wisconsin’s QB would gladly trade and take that hit as opposed to the one he received from Overton yesterday. RTR

I was looking at the Reddit post. It said 11y. But yeah, 12 years.
