Question about the Minchey touchdown when he got pushed in...
- Thread starter theBlues
- Start date
It didn't come close to working the 1st time we tried it. Kiffin was hoping so much that we would try it again. He took his final timeout based on this possibility, but CWS outfoxed him.
I wasn't talking about the overtime extra point. That just sounds to me like the play you are talking about? I meant the sneak that worked at the end of the first half. It worked but it took long enough that I was a afraid of a whistle that I think would sometimes happen. I was just wondering if that sneak play would have been more of a sure thing with Rodriguez instead of Minchey. But that would be Willie taking the snap under center instead of the Wildcat and maybe he can't do that?
Minchey smaller with more slippery wiggle than Rod. It looked like he just slithered through the pile and into the end zone. Just my op…
We were extremely fortunate there. He was stopped and stopped long enough IMO the whistle could have been blown but thankfully it wasn’t and our boys didn’t stop. Rod could have taken the snap (anyone can) but you typically don’t have players taking snaps who are not accustomed to doing so. The direct snap in the wildcat is different but not a big fan of snapping the ball 4 -5 yards deep when you only need a half yard.
My question is on the 2pt conversion. When we lined up with Willie and the guy in the backfield moved, Kiffen wanted illegal procedure. I thought guys in the backfield could move as long as they got set for a full second before the snap (which in this instance never came). Any rules experts here?
The TO was called before the flag. It’s a non-issue.
My understanding is that was a wingback position (not on the line) and they do have a little more leeway with movement there.
On the tush-push LSU was lined up completely offsides so I don’t give a damn.
I was however, surprised at just how whiney some LSU fans are. Total crybabies. We may have broke some of them.

It was probably forward progress, but they were also offside.
From the sky cam in real time, you can pretty clearly see that he never really stops moving forward. The refs have a better view than what we're shown on replay anyway.
Agree with Cujo, too. LSU fans are whiny ***** babies like their sh*tsas coach.
So tired of hearing LSU fans cry about forward progress. If they want fair then lets call offsides, line it up on the 1yd line and will will shove it up their *** again.
Minchey’s TD was a relatively close call, and I can certainly understand why it was reviewed.
I have to say that I can’t remember another game where so many of the close calls / replay reviews went our way. Other than a BS roughing the passer penalty in the second quarter, I can’t really complain about the officiating in Saturdays game.

Yes very true and failed to point that out but you are correct. At least two of the DL in the side Minchey went too were well into the neutral zone. One actually should have been wearing blue he was so far across.
Agreed. I thought the punt return would be called back, and I couldn't believe the hit on Harris in the endzone that was called targeting was overruled (though I believe it was the right call as clearly he hit him in the chest). I was hoping that hit would take Harris out of the game because he was killing us all night. He seemed to have an 8-10 yard cushion from our DB's on every pass he caught and he was just a menace after the catch. How he ended up at Hawaii before any Power 4 conference is beyond me. That guy is dangerous.
I like when they don't overturn calls that are not obvious, meaning go with what was called unless there was clearly a mistake. Gun to my head, I'd say our guy was out of bounds on that punt return. But it's not obvious and therefore it was right to not call it out of bounds.
Close enough is good enough for me. If it takes more than 30 seconds to review the play and you can't figure it out then go with the call on the field.
I’ll tell you what, so many review calls for Kentucky down through the years has gotten reversed against us that I will take what we can get and with no apologies
