Ineligible Receiver Downfield

[SWC75]

From Wikipedia: Ineligible receiver downfield - Wikipedia

"a penalty called against the offensive team when a forward pass is thrown while a player who is ineligible to receive a pass is beyond the line of scrimmage without blocking an opponent at the time of the pass... the NCAA allows ineligible receivers to be a maximum of 3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage before the pass is thrown."

Adams looked as if he was blocking someone. And was he more than 3 yards downfield? Adam Terry on the radio broadcast said "That's not a penalty".

it was the key play of the game.

He was not in contact with anyone, and he was probably 4-5 yards down. Hated the penalty, but it was legit.

it was questionable at best

The penalty I believe was on Conway. and he was more than 3 yards downfield and not in contact with any Tiger

Speaking as an official and not a fan, obviously. lol

I wish we lined up with 4 lineman in formation. Horrible job by Conway, a senior. He has to be smarter, especially after they got called for it multiple times vs fsu

The problem with your post is you have no idea what OL player it was called on. It was on conway who was > 6 yds downfield amc it wss obvious.

didnt look at a replay looked like he went to block someone at around the 40 then for some reason went to no mans land

What really sucked about it was he had no reason to go. Fake the run block, take a step, and just...stand there.

And it was called against FSU at least twice in our game against them. It was a good call.

 

[Ringostar57]

That was a called play...and as a lineman you have to know where you are on the field on a passing play. You want to suffer a cranial aneurysm,wait till you are 90.

Conway has been on the line too long to make that mistake. It was a clear penalty. He sold run all the way like he forgot the play call.

It was a RPO. Play took long enough and he was in run block, says Dino in the postgame presser.

That was a penalty and it might be the costliest in Syracuse football history. At least I can’t think of one that cost us more. Anyone?

#2 would be the pass interference agains Tennessee.

Conway did go out to block but the Clemson guy sidestepped him so he whiffed and his momentum seemed to carry him.

I thought he was engaged and barely 4 yards down field. Oh well.

People pinning it on that penalty are nuts to. Anything still could’ve happened after that.

Dino actually took the blame for it in the post game presser

 

[Qbobby]

That's being a good coach.

Babers said it was an RPO play and Dungey held it to long for what it's worth. Blamed himself for calling that play.

 

[OburgOrange]

That's being a good coach.

Another reason why I love this guy

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm more than a little miffed to get a flag on that play, in that moment, on the road against that opponent when there are so many plays in a game that could be flagged that don't.

The uniform penalty against Tennessee?

 

[Crusty]

1 No question it was a good call
2 It was a brilliant play call
3 Dino is a player's coach

Lots of single plays that could have changed the outcome of the game. That's football.

 

[Cheriehoop]

I thought the more questionable call was the one where we had an offensive lineman called for a personal foul in the 4th Q for what the announcers thought was hands to the face.
